Then George saw his boss hand the report to the man with the dark coat.
He watched as the man read the flipped the cover page and read through the first pages. George grimaced waiting for the man to mention the error. He couldn’t imagine how embarrassed his boss was about to be. [...]

Back in February I got an email from Alex Rawal, asking me if I wanted a free pair of running shoes to try out. Despite the fact that I find Alex’s company’s advertising incredibly insulting, I decided to give them a fair shake and try them out. After all, Alex was nice enough to [...]

Dear stupid guy who was running on Kingsley Road last night,
I know you wanted to get a run in during the evening like I do (lately). That town is very small and makes a relatively safe place to run, however, there are some points you need to be aware of so that I don’t [...]

I ran this morning. We had nice weather for the first time since last August, so I went running while the family slept. It was hot and humid, which is a really strange feeling for April and even stranger since it hasn’t been hot and humid since, well, last August.

Tonight I went to get my haircut again. I have abandoned Big League Cuts, despite their sassy stylists and back massages. When they couldn’t cut my hair straight, even after being told to make certain it was straight because they cut it crooked the last time, I decided it was time to say [...]

I have to run at night. I don’t like it. Not here. For some reason people are hit by cars here on a frequent basis. I read about it in the paper all the time. I was here 3-months when my friend’s father (who lived down the street) was killed [...]

Not that I had more days than usual, but this was a long weekend. I spent Saturday at The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. They had a Community Day event where people could go and see what they did there. One of the big parts of the day was the tour of [...]
