Close race?
I never post on here anymore, but I do occasionally read my friends page... at some point, someone said a while back that the presidential race is only close when viewed through the lens of the media, who have staggering financial incentives to portray it as such (advertising dollars ( Read more... ) -
Running well
Ran the Cat Power 5K this morning in 22:53 = 7:23 pace. Pretty happy about that, considering I just started running in January. If I can hold a 7:30 pace for the Steamboat 4mi next month, I'll be even happier. Thinking about running the Indy half marathon next year ( Read more... ) -
New toilet

Cleaned a lotta plates in Memphis
I'm in Alice's apartment here in Memphis; the boys are finally napping (as is Alice; she had to work this morning), and as I write this I'm sitting in her dining room, which is furnished with two guitars, a keyboard, a mountain bike, and... no dining room table or chairs. Ah, single apartment life. How the memories come flooding back. :) ( Read more... ) -
More pics of Sam
Pretty domestic day today. Got the boys up, changed, and fed; read to them, did the dishes and the laundry. M got up in time for me to turn in the rental and pick up my car from the body shop and stop by Krogers. By the time I got back, Nathan was napping, so I took Sam out to Forest Park for a little hike. He loves hiking, and I love that he ( Read more... )
