Hello?

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Its been a while. Egads, I’m starting to sound like those bloggers that fade away into nothingness. That was my fear actually. I’d finally do the marathon and then just fall apart after that. Well I’m not! Dammit. Maybe. No! I’m not!
I ran my 10 miles yesterday [...]

From the mouths of babes

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Sunday, I was in the mall with my son buying a box of Godiva chocolates for our aunt who turns 100 this week (she’s a chocolate lunatic, no blood relation). Naturally we had to buy some truffles for me and my son too. He got one, I got three.
“Why do you get [...]

Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

This guy is walking along the sidewalk besides a very high wooden privacy fence. From behind it he can hear people chanting “Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!”. The fence is too high to see over and he’s dying to know what is going on in there.
So he looks around and finds a small [...]

Just quickly

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

I ran sunday instead of Saturday because I was meeting with friends from out of town.
12 miles in the woods on Sunday. Ow. My legs are killing me from running in the snow. My right calf is really sore. I hope its not too bad for my 3 tonight.
Very busy lately. [...]

Random chocolate I found

Friday, February 10th, 2006

I found this assortment of chocolate at the store this week and I have no idea about where its all coming from.
The Santander milk lists it as 36% cacao, which I always thought it was odd to do with milk chocolate but ok. It has sugar as its number one ingredient followed by cocoa [...]

Bandaid rule #47

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

47. If you wear bandaids at the gym, because you have a very long run on the dreadmill, make sure you take them off immediately after undressing. Otherwise, if you have to walk the entire length of the locker room to the shower, you will pass 100 people who will give you wierd smirky [...]

Breast feeding continued and continued

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Oh yes, you knew they just won’t let this story die. :)
Once again, the banned breastfeeding woman of Ann Arbor hit the papers. Her name came up because city counsel member Joan Lowenstein now wants to introduce a new city ordinance to allow women to breastfeed “anywhere in public” according to the [...]

I found it!

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

Remember when I lost my jump drive a few months back? Well our dryer stopped working tonight and when I crawled down on the floor to start taking it apart, guess what I found under the edge of the washer.

My secrets are safe once again. :) Wierd thing is that [...]

What would I do if I weren’t afraid?

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

I read that pamphlet called “Who Moved My Cheese?”, or some title similar to that. Its basically a very simplistic allegory about corporate culture and dealing with change.
It’s somewhat annoying because it first gives an explanation of what the story is about and what the plot is, then it tells the story, [...]
