• Our Valentine’s Day

    Rather than being like most sheep, Caitlin and I decided to forgo gift giving and instead went on a 10.2 mile scamper through DC. You know, spending time together rather than spending money on each other… It was a hit. We left our house, made our way through Ballston, on to Custis Trail, on to

  • Race: Tidal Basin 3K #421

    Just returned home from another running of this monthly event. The weather was cold (35ish) and raining… I figured this might be a good shot at getting my first win, but I don’t want such a big event (in my life) to be in such a way… Good thing a guy I beat last race,

  • Damn you, Economy.

    I’m not a soda drinker, but I’m also not blind. The economic downturn has officially hit your company when your once free soda (listed as a perk when being hired) fridge is replaced with a glowing red behemoth, sporting for-profit beverages. Now I know my company isn’t making money off this, but the change was
