Nightmares

I don’t fear a lot of things.  I’m not a big fan of spiders, flying, or guns.  Everything else I can get a pretty decent handle on, including, but not limited to tornadoes, punches to the face, etc.  That said, it is now 1:20 a.m. on Monday morning and nine minutes ago I had the [...]

Video Roundup

I don’t ordinarily post a lot of videos, mostly because I like to hear myself talk.  But sometimes, I find some really good ones that just can’t be missed.  All of these Youtubes were found at Jedinet.com, ergo, they are about Star Wars…in a way.  You’ll see what I mean when you watch them.  The [...]

The Humpty Dance…here’s your chance

Due to my preponderance of grace and natural athleticism, I was able to fall down the stairs of my home this morning with the style and pizzazz of Fred Astaire doing his best impression of John Merrick doing the MC Hammer.  In addition, the eloquence and verbal wit to which you are so accustomed on [...]

Running Update

If nothing else, I can offer you a running update today.  I was able to get back to the gym this last week and put in a good effort of 2.75 miles.  I had no pain in my ankle, but there’s still some stiffness there.  It’s not perfect, but I can work with it.
TAFKAA and [...]

Seriously?!

Okay, I’ve made no bones about my pick for president.  Only, Senator McCain is making it easier and easier to go with Senator Obama every day of the week.  Not that I ever had a problem with that anyway.
Recently, Senator McCain gave an energy policy speech in which he played both sides against the middle.

Relaxed

I’m sitting at the Coffee Pedaler in Flagstaff, AZ enjoying a cup of coffee, free wi-fi, and the Cubs game being broadcast in beautiful 1948 black & white (just for a few innings apparently), so needless to say I’m relaxed.  Actually, I’m beyond relaxed.  I’m mellow.  How easy is it to just sink into a [...]

Where in the world…

Today, I write to you from beautiful Albuquerque, NM.  I know, I know…I just got back into town.  How could I possibly be on another vacation?!  Well, it was serendipitous really. My brother-in-law, J. Aside: there’s really no good way to distinguish them and still maintain privacy, so you’ll just have to follow the context [...]

Crawl before you can run

I’ve been frustrated with my inability to get back to running. Some of it has been physical, but it has been mental as well. I’m planning on going to the gym tonight, but I decided to look over the the records since I last went to the gym and I noticed that since [...]

Your next president

I know I haven’t written much lately, aside from the trip to Italy.  Truth is, I haven’t had a lot to say.  The Red Sox are doing okay, school has ended, and I’ve been soaking up the joy of my graduation gifts.  I now can’t decide whether or not to take my GPS unit on [...]
