Running Man, the 2011 Edition
The Year of Health ended just a few days ago. If I had to add it up I’d say I came out on the plus side of things last year. On the positive: I quit smoking 48 weeks and nearly … Continue reading

Run Fatboy Run, a Tale of Addictions
My routine has been upended. This is neither a tale of woe nor sorrow although in the beginning it certainly sounds that way. Like everyone else on the planet, I’m prone to fits and bouts of depressive-ness. This is not … Continue reading
Dating Chronicles, Vol 1: “All things end badly. Otherwise they wouldn’t end.”
Anything else is always something better. It’s been one of those “life in order” weekends. Back from two months on the road. Dealing with nearly an entire wardrobe that no longer fits me thanks to The Year of Health. Which … Continue reading

Phlegm (24 of 90)
I’m three weeks into my actual attempt to quit smoking (as opposed to my Year of Health, first month waffling). It’s a good feeling, most of the time. I’ve always had a motor that goes 100 miles per hour, but … Continue reading
Questioning Things: Your Time To Ask (21 of 90)
Yesterday was interesting beyond description. Although truth be told, it may only be interesting to me. And the description may matter less to you. Still. I started a little Twitter meme #BeatWinter in an attempt to get people to stop focusing … Continue reading
