Acoustic treat

A mostly free evening finally coincided with an installment of the Palmetto Acoustic Series at Muddy Waters Coffee Bar so I headed out there and met up with Ian, Kathy and Heidi for what turned out to be an evening full of some very good folksy music. I think I enjoyed the performance by the Barnard Sisters most. They had a fun folksy style that just makes you want to smile. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Hopefully I’ll have more free evenings that coincide with future installments of the series.

Credit limits

Apparently I don’t charge enough on my credit card because I got a letter from Bank of America yesterday saying they were cutting the credit limit on one of my cards by half after reviewing my past credit balance history. Including my other credit card, my effective credit limit is now down about 1/3 from where it was before.

And to further wring money out of their customers in the form of fees, another letter came in today to tell me the fees from cash advances and balance transfers and fees for international transactions were going up as well.

Big Screen, Big Trek

I’m going to be at the Terrace Theater‘s new Hippodrome (the former Charleston IMAX theater) on May 7 for the new Star Trek movie.

Starts at 7PM. See you there.

Post i5k run

Doing the i5k seems to have reignited the running bug in me. I’m still not to the point where I can run as long or as fast as my brain thinks I can. There’s still much conditioning and muscle strengthening work that I need to do before my actual physical performance meets what my brain wants to do.

Went out for the first post-i5k run this morning. Started off feeling pretty good heading out at a pretty comfortable 7:00/km pace, but on the way back my left leg started giving me problems, so I finished with a brisk walk back home.

Might be time to re-evaluate the type of running shoe I pick.

Temp: 17°C
Distance: 2.4 km/1.5 miles
Time: ~30 min
Pace: ~15:00
