Starting it up

Jumpstarted the week with a gym session, fun yet frustrating at the same time; managed to get our nonegenarian out for a couple of her own exercise times, right before the rain tentatively arrived.
Finished the Murikami short stories, and decided that in this batch he was striving too hard to be cryptic and cool. There were a couple of good ones, one about a dwarf which appears in the protagonist's dreams and dances astoundingly, another about a vanishing elephant, but overall, not too terrific.
