Day 1

Notice the nice off-shoot I took at the east end of my run – I was hoping to cut across to the trails in the foothills – but got caught in a cul-de-sac and had to come back… at least it was downhill on the way back ;)   Thanks Claudia for motivating me to get back into better shape!  Wish me luck.

The subject of the email was “[placeholder for winning team] Wins the NCAA Tournament!” And the body of it contained the following words:

UCLA Wins!

Congratulations, [placeholder for winning team]! As someone who has purchased sports products from Amazon.com, we thought you should be the first to see our selection of NCAA championship products.

I received the above email at 7:43 AM on April 3rd… Nice snafu for Amazon ;)

Also just found the following article on ABC news about it:
