I finally watched it

Jon | July 26, 2009

I watched Spirit of the Marathon last night on Hulu.  Its a bit of a advert for the Chicago Marathon.  I liked the interviews though and it was fun to watch people in a marathon going through what we all go through.   I still have no interest in the mega-thons, just because the number of [...]

The irony of Farcebook

Jon | July 23, 2009

I didn’t want go on Farcebook.  I joined because someone wanted me to help other people from my past join.  So I did.  I figured I could keep in touch with them, even if I didn’t really want to participate much.  Did I mention I was booted off there once?  I was.
Well, after being on [...]

Abandoned

Jon | July 19, 2009

I had a nice 6 miles Friday night (in the rain) and then 9 miles this morning with my running partner.  This was my last run with her for a week and a half as she’s going camping with friends, and then I am going camping with the Boy Scouts.  As punishment for leaving me, [...]

11 miles

Jon | July 5, 2009

I had a good run this morning.  I met up with my running partner and we did 11 miles at the park around 9 am.  She does worse in heat than I do, so the early morning worked out very well for both of us.  Lots of folks were out running this morning.  I think [...]

Happy 4th of July

Jon | July 4, 2009

Well…happy 4th for those celebrating.
This marks the anniversary of the day we told King George III to go stuff it up his crumpet.  And then we had a big war about it.  A group of insurgents with minimal armament, along with the support of the French military, pressured the world’s largest military power to withdraw.    [...]

When worlds collide

Jon | July 2, 2009

At the urging of a non-blogging friend, I opened up yet another facebook account (after being unceremoniously kicked off Facebook long ago).  The non-blogger wanted to encourage a group of us from grad school to link up there to stay in contact or whatever.  So I set up my account.
But, unfortunately, I did something stupid.  [...]
