• Race: Al Lewis 10-Miler

    Ms. Caitlin and I woke up early this morning to head up to Kensington, MD for this race. The idea was to treat it as a long run. As usual (I’m giving up on the idea now), we both went harder than we had hoped. Results aren’t online yet, but you can check out my GPS data. This was my first 10-miler, so a…

  • 2008 – Goals, ’08 Review, Excitement!

    Ok, I lied about the excitement… ’09 is here, we’ve got only a year left to figure out what we’re going to call this decade, and I’ve got a lot of goal attaining to do. A year ago tomorrow, I made this same post. I’m going to be sticking with that same format more or less. 2008 Goals1. Learn Spanish – I went with…

    Dreams is just that, a collection of dreams from one of the greatest writer/producers of all time.  I can’t say it was all that entertaining, but it was truly awesome that he had the means to put his dreams (or nightmares) in to film for the whole world to see. It was neat to see others have such crazy thoughts racing through their heads…

The plan was to take it pretty easy, but not quite as slow as training pace. I don’t know how hard I actually pushed myself (harder than I had planned), but I’m pretty happy with what I pulled…

  • The worst 7-7 team ever?

    Yep, that’s the Washington Redskins. Another year, more great hopes (after a 6-2 start… not before the season… most expected them to be a ~.500 team), and fans in excruciating pain. For the first time in years, I actually did not watch the game the whole way through. They are that disappointing. Over the past 6 games they are averaging less than 11 points.…

  • Movie: Super High Me

    This is a movie about a pothead comedian who saw Morgan Spurlock’s film about McDonalds, and thought it would be great to do his own version. The main character, Doug Benson, is a funny guy, but as a coworker of mine put it, rather depressing. His comedy is entertaining, but damn, I wouldn’t want to be his friend. Whereas the original film had a…
