Notre Dame A prompt trip recap? Unheard of! Yes, my Japanese recap is still in note form… I went there in 2005. I went to Montreal this past weekend for what was the final bachelor party in my group for the foreseeable future. There’s still one to go, but, well, Jakedog. To recount the trips over the years: Vegas (twice, I think? They tend…
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.

“Carpal fracture, closed.” Sorry for the lack of writing lately. I have been writing stuff, but doing so with a single hand is laborious and generally not too fun (owed before they’re stale: Portland trip recap, NYC trip recap). I’ve got a few drafts in the works, but I couldn’t not tell the world that I’m back in action. After six weeks with my…
I had a lucky “rare” break of the distal side (outer third) of the scaphoid. Much better blood flow (for healing) and it is very nicely aligned. 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,…
