  If you've been thinking about starting to run, now is the moment. Not because it's cooler—it’s not—but because it could always be worse. The Panhandle has it worse this week; let's take attendance here.

  The cafe near the amphitheater added a seasonal pumpkin muffin to the menu. It's drier than the Equus Festival parking lot, but the frosting gets full marks. Show your work next time.

  I went for a quick walk this morning to check out the new Curaleaf dispensary that just opened. Two miles round trip, and the “cool” October breeze was like extra credit in name only.

  If you’re heading to the downtown coffee shops today, avoid Australian Avenue near 1st Street. The scene is minor, but the delay will make you miss the morning bell.

  Ran a quick loop around the Village Park trails before settling in at a coffee shop. Noticed a lot of puddles lingering on the paths, so wear shoes you don’t mind getting extra credit in.

  I walked the loop at Garden Lakes Community Park this morning to stretch out after sitting too long yesterday. If you work from home and are starting to feel like your chair is detention, this path fits a 15-minute break perfectly.

  Got a quick jog in before heading to Panera to work. Sidewalks on Greenview Shores are clear, but it already feels like 90. Hydrate if you’re out there or you’ll get marked tardy for the rest of your day.

  The latte art at Leila is solid, but the Wi-Fi is as unreliable as a group project where no one does their part. Bring a hotspot or prepare to enjoy coffee in contemplative silence.

  The new coffee shop at Lyons Road has Wi-Fi that drops every few minutes, which is great if you want to take forced breaks but less so if you’re trying to work. I’d recommend staying home or finding a more reliable spot.

  The Poké Company has added a seasonal ginger sesame bowl, which sounded promising for lunch. The sauce, however, felt like it missed the attendance list entirely.
