• I Made It

    30. I felt I became an adult last month, but this makes it official… Definitely old. 30 years ago today in Frankford Hospital, out popped little me. Mom says it was quick and relatively painless. I think I’ve maintained those characteristics after all these years… Nothing special to note. I enter a new age-group for age-group scoring in races, but I’m still in the “Open”…

  • A Toilet Seat With A Handle!? Brilliant!

    Until you think about it. Have you ever seen one of these? I did for the first time this evening. I thought to myself “That’s absolutely brilliant! Nobody wants to touch where everyone’s butt has been!” And then I got to thinking… Every other guy who saw this likely thought the same thing and therefore used it with a big smile on their face.…

I did manage to take time for working out and prior engagements, but holy heck, that sucked. The cause was a team failure… Our lead overpromised, we didn’t call him out loudly enough, and we set an abitrary ship date. All bad…

  • Kids On A Plane

    No, I do not have kids. Yes, I do plan on having some. I think taking kids on planes is awesome. It’s an experience that all children should have. It means they’re seeing more of the world than their home or daycare, and I feel in the long run that they’ll be better people for it. I also realize kids are difficult to control.…
