I’ve been buying Ghirardelli chocolate chips for years. Its what I use for making truffles and it has performed very well. I’ve gotten the recipe down just perfect so that I know how much cream and butter to add to two bags of chips to make the right consistency. But that all changed. When I [...]

At 1:00 pm, you start a 15 mile run. The weather is sunny and 42 °F. At mile 9 you begin to feel soreness in the arch of your left foot. The pain is remarkably similar to the precise pain you had when you had a cuboid stress fracture a year and half ago. By [...]

Well, that run sucked. 6 miles at pace, turned into 2 miles with walking. This sucks. I will never register for a spring marathon again. I’m tired of training in the dark and cold. I’m tired of missing runs all week because I can’t run where cars can’t see me because there’s either too much [...]

I just updated the software on my Garmin Nuvi. Unfortunately, the retards are Garmin wrote the software so that it OVERWRITES the previous program, and DELETES all your stored favorites, personal data, locations, routes, EVERYTHING. Thanks, Garmin. You suck giant moose balls. I hope your Christmas sucks.

Google was kind enough to cache the article, and the following comment that was posted below it: ” I am very sorry to hear of [...]

Can I rant here? The BSA sent out an email informing all volunteers about new MANDATORY training. I put that in CAPS because they put it in CAPS. I guess its IMPORTANT. Like when Winnie the Poor uses capital letters to signify Topics of Great Importance. Got it. The email stated that we were to [...]

Farcebook is beginning to annoy the crap out of me. Yes, the horrendous abuse of information that you entrust them with (and to be honest, every piece of information I give them is carefully manipulated and controlled so that they have nothing real about me), is an awful and annoying thing, but its not the [...]

Yes, I was in South Korea once again. For those who have never gone there, let me say this: Pack your own lunch. The food is horrible and I wanted to die by day two. If I never see another piece of kimchi as long as I live, it will be too soon. And frankly, [...]
