Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed."
- Bruno Mars, The Lazy Song

Except, I am keeping up with my Dear Abby reading.  In case anyone is of the opinion that Canadians are nicer than Americans, please consider the following: 

Dear Abby: I have a good friend, “Renee,” who is Canadian and a permanent resident of the United States. We don’t always agree on things, but one thing really bugs me about her. She’s always saying how “nice” Canadians are and how rude Americans are.
On a recent trip we took to Canada, she commented about a cashier who was nice to us by saying, “That cashier wouldn’t have been so nice if we were in America.” When I try to point out evidence to the contrary, Renee shrugs it off and calls it an exception to the rule.
How should I politely ask her to knock off bashing Americans?
Love It Or Leave It

Dear Love It Or Leave It: Do it by “politely” pointing out to Renee that it is rude to make comments that make others uncomfortable, and if Canadians are as “nice” as she says they are — and that includes her — she’ll quit putting down Americans because you find it offensive.

I did start my day with my usual run, but it was kindof a bust.  I didn't go until 8:30 and it was just hot.  I'm in this mode of denial about summer approaching and being forced to exercise in the gym, so I've continued going outside.  Fat dog looked like she was going to have a stroke.  We ran most of the way to the gym, and then walked all the way home - 3 miles.
