Good day for being outside
When I first woke up today and saw the weather, I sort of panicked for a sec. All of these things were going through my head: ” I’m going skating, I’m going running, I’m going biking, I’m going to the park.” When I checked my phone, I had an email from the guys who run…

Lawn Darts
With the weather warming up, I have been mentally planning out all of the outdoor activities that I would like to participate in, this summer. For the past few summers, we have managed to include a couple of decent croquet games. Most of them proved to be very memorable, including an entire day of croquet…

Boston Marathon 2009
We had a really great weekend in Boston, with our homies. It was the first time that Reagan and I had ever gone up there, for the race. Our good friend Becca ran it yesterday, so we had an extra good excuse to go watch. Some of Becca’s friends have an office that sits about…

MotoGP 2009 Season Opener
Holy crap! Waiting the couple of extra days to see the first race of the 2009 season, was worth it. Stoner won by a solid margin. Rossi finished second, and second year rookie Lorenzo, took the last podium spot. Once Rossi fought his way up through the pack, he was able to keep a consistent…

NYRR Scotland Homecoming 10k
The pictures came out a little blurry, which is how everything looked in real life, as well. It was a very wet and cold race. Despite the weather, there was a huge turnout. I was really surprised at the amount of runners that showed. We saw a lot of our friends there. When I finished,…

Kiltzzzzz
Since the Scotland Homecoming 10k is this weekend, my friend Mike and I had been planning to make kilts for the event, beginning several weeks ago. Well, it finally materialized last night. I left work a little bit early to hit some of the fabric stores downtown. As luck would have it, EVERYTHING was closed…

What do these three things have in common?
They are all reasons that I am super pumped for the upcoming weekend. First of all, I love Easter. In addition to being a mental marker that spring is actually here, and having heavy Christian religious significance, the best candy of the year is available for purchase. Reagan and I have been warming up for…

Product Endorsement (Nike Plus)
I admit that the road has been a rocky one, with this device. It has been a love/hate relationship. The latest round of drama has spawned from a faulty display on my sensor link. For a couple of months, I have only been able to read the first number, on the LCD display. Annoying as…

NY Times Features Powder Mountain
[photo: Brian Mohr for The New York Times] Nothing makes me miss the homeland, like when a national paper runs these kind of articles. Today the NY Times ran this article about Powder Mountain Resort. The author, Stephen Regenold (a two planker), spends the entire article rubbing in my face, all of the spring powder…
