I Don’t Know What to Title This Post, but It’s about San Francisco, the Half-Marathon and Some Childhood Memories of California

Half-marathon training starts tomorrow, with the first running day happening on Tuesday.  I plan on lifting tomorrow – some muscle gain in the months leading up to the half-mary will be wise, if only to help me out with the hills I’ll be tackling.
I’ve also reserved a room in San Francisco, and contacted my friend.  [...]

Farewell Thee Well, Infineon

Dear Infineon Raceway:
Farewell, dear Infineon.  I hope to never, ever see you again.  Ever.

Super Size the American Way

If anyone is thinking about slacking off on a workout, I have the perfect solution for you.
Imagine, if you will, it being around noon thirty.  You’ve run three miles, and all you want to do is stop.  You decide that, once you hit 3.25 miles, you will in fact stop, as you plan on running [...]

I Could Go for a Mariachi Party

No mother-bleu-cheese-Speedy-Gonzales-the-extremely-racist-but-trying-to-deny-it-Arizona-Minutemen-Deadwood-and-me story for you.  Honestly, I tried to rewrite it, but inspiration is currently lacking.
I got up at six this morning with the intention of running another 6.5 miles (seems like I’ve fallen in love with distance yet again) only to find that someone had dropped a heavy wet blanket over southeastern Michigan.  I [...]

Power Failure

Waah!
I was writing a long post about a story involving my mother, bleu cheese, Speedy Gonzales, the extremely-racist-but-trying-to-deny it Arizona Minutemen, Deadwood and me.  And then I lost my considerable brainpower for a moment, hitting the back button of my browser and losing my entry.  Waah!  I must whine, damnit, and then begin the writing [...]

Pud Muddle

I’m going to visit a friend tomorrow and, at this point, I think I might enjoy myself.  Not only will it get me out of this house (of which I have been a prisoner since January), but I’ll get away from the last vestiges of art fair.  Not that it’s been bugging me, but I [...]

Message to Little Bro M

M:
Email coming your way if you have a few more moments at the computer.  I totally understand and am sending you some funny but apt advice.
To any readers: Seems like our mother’s been comparing us to our cousins again.  I just found out that one of our cousins was a father at 14.  Okay, why [...]

Keep Fishin’

I woke up this morning in a bitchy mood.  My cheeriness left me around 4pm yesterday and continued well into the evening.  You’d think the end of the workday would’ve brought about a wonderful mood punctuated with lollipops, rainbows, and sugary gooeyness from yours truly, but alas.  I was in a foul mood up until [...]

Vignette of the Afternoon

I’ll readily admit it – I do not want to work.  Instead of posting in response to mayasbiotch and maya’s posts regarding the Art Fairs, I called mayasbiotch and maya for the singular purpose of saying the word "geek" into the phone.  How crazy is that, interrupting a packing process to be an annoying girlfriend?  [...]
