Of late, my writing on here has been aimless and bland. It’s been a whole lot of whining, a whole lot of rambling, and not a whole lot of fun. I still don’t know what the focus is of this blog — is it just for me? Is it supposed to be for other people? […]
I’m packing up for a ten day trip to the Northeast. In the end, it’ll be six marathons in eight days but the real benefit is that I get to hang out with my brother for a bit. I’m doing last minute laundry and packing up as I type this. I just tossed in Steve’s […]
I think I was bitten not by a radioactive spider but instead attacked by some lethargic bug. It’s hard to even hold my head up and I keep drifting back to sleep whilst never feeling rested. I don’t feel awful; I just feel exhausted. It’s a weird sensation. I must be fighting some nasty, lazy […]
I find myself in a tableau of the Seven Deadly Sins. It’s a lot less graphic and dark than David Fincher’s movie but perhaps not less depressing. My body has just kinda slumped and collapsed. It’s not pain but sheer exhaustion. I can’t seem to keep my eyes open and everything, from my toes to […]
I believe it was John “Hannibal” Smith who famously said: “It’s always darkest before it goes completely black.” Indeed, a quick google search for “A-Team always darkest” yields the quotables page on imdb for the episode ‘The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas.’ I’m not running today. I said I wasn’t going to run, I was […]
Still ticked off about the finish line at Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, a few old business items on the agenda: I uploaded the photos on the weekend’s running posts, so the revised pages are “live.” I never know if I should more explicitly demarcate the revised pages or if it’s just sufficient to try and keep […]
Similar to yesterday, photos are being persnickety in uploading from my phone. I’ll add pics later but in the meantime… [REVISION NOTE: Most photos have been uploaded as of April 25, 2016] Let’s begin this post sorta in medias res, yes? I’m at the OKC airport waiting to board my flight, stewing. Rarely have I […]
We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by. [REVISION NOTE: Most of the photos have been uploaded as of April 25, 2016] I can’t seem to get the photos to upload properly from my phone. Hopefully tonight I can find a decent WiFi connection and try again using my Surface. But in the meantime, text […]
Is it the unexpected death of Prince? Is it knowing my brother is bummed about that and various other losses of musical giants? Is it a lingering ankle tweak? Is it the bathroom scale that taunts me every day by creeping higher not lower? Whatever the reason, I’m in a moping funk. I skipped my […]
The other day I heard “Raspberry Beret” on the radio and was trying to remember Prince’s real name. I thought it was Victor something because I thought the the pieces of the symbol that Prince changed his name to during his “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince” days could be broken up and reformed to […]
