Have Gun Will Travel is a show from my youth, and I recall that it was dark and with some moral ambiguity relating to the fact that the protagonist dresses in black, is a gunfighter, and an antihero to boot. I can't wait to see this episode.
See here for a previous post I did on the subject.
Also, yesterday I posted on my C + O Canal run and how tough it was. Today when I ran on the perimeter with my work buddies, I also had a tough run. It was only 6 miles, but my mutual consent we took 2 brief walking breaks. Getting old, I guess.
One thing I forgot to mention, that was a plus of the run yesterday, relates to what I'd call the "smugness factor." Williamsport, MD is a central Mecca for Canal usage--good parking, easy access, etc., so many people park there to use the Canal. My route was such that I parked at Williamsport but did not start out on the Canal.
Typically runs on the Canal have to be out-n-backs, but I find that psychologically difficult. I much prefer a loop course. So I began my run along the roads east from Williamsport in the downstream direction (Potomac River), in effect running the end road miles of the JFK 50 Miler in reverse. I then cut over on other roads to intersect the Canal towpath, and then run upstream to return to Williamsport.
By starting at dawn I was returning along the towpath to Williamsport around 8:00 am. As I approached the town I encountered more and more people coming the other direction (i.e., downstream from Williamsport), people who had just started their run or bike. And I was just about done, and I secretly had to smile knowing that fact.
Yup, I was smug. And I liked it.
