We’re Moving
Most everyone knows it (some of her work doesn’t… if you’re from there, SHHHH!), but this is the official announcement. We’ve been sitting on it because we had a bit of a snafu with our landlady that’s nearly worked out at this point. Everyone asks the same questions so hopefully I’ll be able to answer all of yours with the following: Where are you…

I did TWO push-ups
It’s not much and they’re somewhat ugly and very difficult, but it’s progress. In other news, I’ve run a handful of races over the past month or so. A pair of 5Ks and a pair of trail four milers.

No screw, six weeks in the cast (I paid the extra $36 for waterproof because duh), and no limits on my activities. That said, I attempted to pull my brake lever in the garage upon returning home,…

What I [Really] Want
Well, I want a lot of things, but if we’re talking immaterial? The list is fairly short: I want cheaper ammo. Gun regulation has my visits to the range costing me double what they used to. And the wait at the range is about double what it used to be. Get off my guns. I want a more even distribution of wealth. Not socialism,…
