    Sunday morning’s race was a pretty fun one. Luckily, the rain held off for just long enough. There was actually some pleasant misting during the last portion, that felt awesome. After switching back to my “Wave Inspire” shoes, I’m happy to report that I was able to run without any knee pain, whatsoever, on Sunday.…

    Saturday was a banger, in these parts. Although we slept in a little bit on Saturday (which we were allowed to, since it was raining), we made every minute count, for the rest of the day. We trekked out to Brooklyn for the Mermaid Parade, and decided to check out the Brooklyn Aquarium, first. It…

    We had a really great visit with Piper on Sunday. We stayed a little later in the evening that we usually do, which made parking really tough, when we got back. But it was worth having to move the car an extra day this week, to be able to get some extra time with her.…

    This month’s edition of Wired Magazine had  a little blurb about the the camera pictured above. It is called the Blackbird Fly. I took an interest in it, mostly because of Reagan. She purchased a Holga, not to long ago, and after some trial and error, has taken some pretty cool shots. The Fly, is…

    I guess that Swine Flu is, like, a real thing now. At least the WHO has kicked the warnings up a notch, and there are people that we know of, who are infected by it. As a result, Reagan’s friend who flew all of the way out here from California, was only able to meet…

    This weekend was full of inanities and insanities, as usual. Two of Reagan’s good friends from high school came to visit, beginning Thursday. One of them became very ill on Friday and headed home to DC. Reagan’s not-sick friend hung out with us until Saturday afternoon. Friday night, Reagan and Terrah (Reagan’s not-sick friend) came…

    Reagan is going to be in the Silver State visiting her good friend Lacy to meet Lacy’s new baby. She said that she is also thinking about doing a drive-by of the chapel that we got married in, just for old times’ sake. Hahahah. That last part was made up. I have tried to stack…

    The New York Road Runner’s club announced the results of the NYC Marathon today. But Reagan and I were actually both able to login last night and discover that we had not made it in this year. She asked me if I was bummed. I said no. But now that I think about it, I…

    And of course I was there to document it. She bought this peg board for our hall from Ebay. She thought the old shelf with the hooks wasn’t cutting it, or wanted to paint, or [insert 1000 other excuses]. Anyway, it is so cute to watch her work. She is a good sport about ignoring…

    This weekend ended up being a lot better than I had initially anticipated. There was, of course the race on Saturday morning, which I was expecting to be the highlight of my weekend. I thought this because I was expecting to have to work, for the rest of the weekend. I did spend Saturday afternoon,…
