The new greeting cards from Seattle stationery company Banana Blossom Press were created for both fair-weather runners, and the rain-or-shine variety of runners, walkers and fitness fiends who suffer through blisters, aching muscles and long miles in the rain to reach their goal, their personal best or their bliss.

A few days ago, I learned that treat shop Chocolate Box near Pike Place Market is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month. That's great news, and I offer my heartfelt congratulations, but what really has me jumping for joy is the shop's benediction of the Oh-My-Gawdo, a sublime concoction for which I would happily suffer eternal brain freeze.

Ever seen a "stray" cat missing the tip of his or her left ear? That's a sign the free-roaming or feral cat has been altered, and in this neck of the woods, there's a good chance that surgery took place at the Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project (FCSNP). Since 1997, FCSNP has pursued a simple mission -- to provide free- or low-cost access to high volume spay/neuter surgery in a safe and humane environment.

I'm just back from running with my dog Renzo. We did a longish, relaxed jog down the dirt path that hugs the Burke Gilman Trail, just north of Matthews Beach. A former sled dog, Renzo is an excellent running companion.

A couple months ago, I plucked a business card for Seattle Green Dogs off the bulletin board at Top Pot Doughnuts.
I was there for, um, a cup of black coffee. I dropped the card in my
pocket, and there it lived until I discovered it a week after Earth Day
(when I had failed to join the blogging hordes with an
eco-greenie-themed message).

While Seattle's own Top Pot may be the reigning doughnut shop in town, national chain Krispy Kreme has a cultlike following around the world (there are even Krispy Kreme locations in Kuwait and Dubai), and our fair city isn't immune to their charms.

I don't know the difference between a tight end and a halfback, and I don't really care. At least, I usually don't. But Superbowl weekend has a way of making me feel like I'm missing out on something. I'm glum because there's no reason (read: excuse) for ordering and consuming a 12-foot-long, 6-meat hoagie and a party bag of Cheetos. Or is there?
