"So, JD, what are your thoughts on the upcoming election?"

Since most of y'all recognize that politically, I'm a complete nutjob, it's perfectly reasonable that you haven't asked. But I'm going to answer it anyhow.

That said: I'm not going to tell you who I'm going to vote for.

I recently read an article that I found pretty amazing: As of last ( Read more... )

If you've paid much attention to this spot for the past three years, you know that I'm a) into virtual racing, and b) not particularly good at it ( Read more... )

The latest Grassroots Motorsports ran an article about the previous generation Corvette. Sure, it's not as nice a car as the current generation, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper. And I got to thinking about my plan, such that it is, to refresh automotive technology around these parts more often than I had been ( Read more... )

Today was the Baltimore Running Club's big event, and I signed up for the half marathon, along with 11,000 of my closest friends. No, of course I didn't sign up for a locally run 5K or something small and simple first before doing something ridiculous-- that'd be the smart way to do it ( Read more... )

• enjoyed a nice leisurely breakfast with said eggs and biscuits and gravy with a mug of french roast on the porch
  
• showered and gotten ( Read more... )

Part of me thinks I should take a few minutes to write something daily like Amy does. But that'd probably be overdoing it.

I'm a bachelor for the weekend, because Amy and DeLee are off in Harrisonburg, VA for a conference for women who hike. I have many plans:

• Get the house cleaned up some. The maids get here Tuesday morning, I'd like them to be ( Read more... )

A couple months ago, you may recall, the back window shattered in my new Mustang. For those not keeping score at home (which should probably be most of you), the tl;dr version of that was, "We can't tell that it didn't break from external trauma, so the policy of Ford is we can't replace it under warranty. We'd be able to replace it for you if we, ( Read more... )

Today's plan involved getting some work done on the car. Nothing critical needed doing, but I had a few things I wouldn't've minded getting out of the way ( Read more... )

Or maybe more random. I haven't decided yet.
