I went outside this morning and discovered that on one of my Peony plants that had about 20 potential flower buds, at least a dozen of them had been snapped off, chewed and enough petal evidence left to make me cry this morning.

I may have to get some serious firepower. I also noticed that we have a firing range within a mile or so of the farm. Super.

The book will be released July 29th. The quote I used for the title of the post comes from this passage, where Murakami writes about a mental aspect of running marathons - having a mantra: One runner told of a mantra his older brother, also a runner, had taught him which he's pondered ever since he began running. Here it is: Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you're running and you start to think, Man this hurts, I can't take it anymore. The hurt part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand any more is up to the runner himself. This pretty much sums up the most important aspect of marathon running. An excerpt from the book was published in a recent issue of The New Yorker, but unfortunately all that's online at this point is an abstract . You ca...
