I forgot to title this post

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Ok, the first week at the new job has been really hectic. SO MUCH to learn! I don’t like to talk about where I work because in this case it will be easy place it. Must not blog about work. But…
Let me say that its a manufacturing job, NOT patent work. [...]

No shoes for you!

Monday, April 28th, 2008

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 runner

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

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’m not so mature

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

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.
I ran [...]

Dear stupid moron driver

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

To the idiot woman driving a black SUV on Scotchbush Road today, you are a flaming moron.  I don’t know if you were born that way, were dropped on your pointy head as a child, are brain damaged from drinking antifreeze or just never got out of 4th grade, but you have no business being [...]

It all comes down to Cinderella

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

I watched Field of Dreams tonight. My son and I were looking for a good movie and this one didn’t have people killing each other like Star Warz or Lord of the Things.
As I watched this, I was thinking that here’s a nobody guy who has something really amazing happen to him. He’s [...]

2007 Chicago Marathon Trainwreck

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Disclaimer: I wasn’t there.  This is entirely my opinion.
After reading about people’s accounts of the Chicago Marathon this year, I have come to the conclusion that the Megathons have had their day and its over.
40,000 runners and 1 MILLION spectators may sound like a great party. I’m sure its fun when the weather [...]

Poison

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

I’ve had an apostrophe.  (I think you mean an epiphany.)
Follow this.
One our first day of life, we are growing.  Chemicals are reacting, organs are building, bones are growing, its all growing and building.  Our genetics directs it how to build in the finer details but the basic structure of how it all goes together is [...]
