Running and a Dog Named Riliy
I am here to recap a story from yesterday that involves an incident with a dog I encountered whilst running a couple miles from my house. But before I do, I should probably back up and establish some context.

\”Oh, your Austin connection is leaving from C17 in in C Terminal. You have to take the inter-terminal shuttle to get there. Walk down to the end of this terminal until you get to gate A2. That\’s where the shuttle is.\” \”Okay. Thank you.\” Sigh. I know where the shuttle is. It\’s right there under [...]
Read More...Chasm. Youth. Wider.
As the chasm between me and my youth creeps ever wider, I find myself observing the behavior of younger folks less like we\’re distant peers and more like I\’m a miserly old researcher in a frayed lab coat with a salt and pepper combover. Many many months ago, the Geester and I attended a birthday [...]

YESTERDAY: First day back in the saddle after a little spring break week in Portland. Thought I avoided any discernible jet-lag, but now there are forehead grease stains on my monitor. Interesting. Our trip to Stumptown was fairly typical. We ate and drank like there was perpetually an electric chair on the horizon. We got [...]

Following Friday\’s post wherein I whined about my diminishing ability to deal with … uh … the radio, Gia and I heard an extremely refreshing interview while en route to the gymnasium.

No, I\’m talking about a random series of parties / events / personal influences that arrange themselves, almost cosmically, in such a way that you suddenly find yourself [...]

Two entries in two days. Shut up. I haven\’t talked about pants in a while, so lets talk about pants. Rob believes that adding pants as a suffix to any word makes it funny / funnier and I tend to agree with him. Today\’s topic, however, is more annoying than amusing. Through my frustration, maybe [...]

Starbucks coffee tastes like Kingsford soaked in hot pee. It is so over-roasted that it makes me pound my desk in rage. I can\’t even deal. If you disagree, your tongue is already dead. How\’s that working out for you? I am going here today. Good thing I derive some sort of twisted enjoyment from [...]

I can\’t imagine I\’m the first person to yammer about this … hell, I may have even brought it up before. Regardless, this post is poorly written and not entertaining. Do not read it. Why hasn\’t someone designed a gym where the energy generated from weight resistance is captured and used to power other stuff? [...]
