The 5K/10K Prep
Having gotten back into a semi-regular running routine, and still dealing with some runner’s knee issues (that I honestly attribute to bad running form and rolling my foot outwards more than I should), I planned today to be the day … Continue reading
A New Addition… sorta…
Took the kids to the local Petco today for “Reptile Rally”… taking advantage of the Halloween themes, this event offered a look at all the different kinds of reptiles available as pets. Before we got there, a quick stop to … Continue reading
Up… up… and away… to Texas!
I’m sitting here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport awaiting my final connecting flight to Austin. Coming down for a short 2 night stay to visit Dell headquarters, and hopefully gain some valuable insight into their new product and service offerings. … Continue reading

Wasn’t really in the mood to run last night, but the wife ended up telling me to just go… so off I went for a short 2.48 mile run. The moon was partially out on a relatively clear night, and … Continue reading
Nostalgia, History, and a First
Spent this past weekend on what has become our family’s annual trip to Lancaster County… specifically, a two-day adventure to visit the Strasburg Railroad and Dutch Wonderland with the kids. I must admit, I have a lifelong love affair with … Continue reading
