Be careful what you share on Facebook. An illustrative guide on how lies and misconceptions are spread.. Fascinating look at how you really need to question what you read on the internet! People are so very easily misled. Since it's technically about a political article, I posted it over on my Politics and Media site.
Has anyone seen my Christmas spirit?
I've determined (ok, perhaps my body determined) that I can no longer deny the existence of the cold that has been trying to take hold since last week. I am now officially snuffly & coughy & generally cloudy headed & feeling icky and I will most likely whine about these things for a few days... Continue Reading →
Outdoor Christmas lights 2011 edition
Thanks to my new camera that actually captures the light display rather decently (except for the odd purple glow in the backyard with all the multi-colored lights surrounding it) - here is the 2011 edition of my Griswold-like yard.

Whatta week!
Let's see.... I ran twice - taking advantage of the morning light I got back out there running a little over 2 miles Monday and today at around an 11:30 minute mile rate. Yes, 2 minutes slower than the race, but that's fine. It's just about maintaining my fitness right now with unpredictable weather barreling... Continue Reading →
And one more thing... After more than a week off of running since the race, I eagerly got up at 5:30am today and run for 25 minutes. I was thrilled there was daylight. I was thrilled to be back out on the pavement. It was cold, but I didn't care. Up hills three times. Still... Continue Reading →
Just got out of a meeting and I have to wonder - do I work in a TV show? In the room we had Soft talker - you know the ones - voices that barely muster something above a whisper and sometimes fade in and out? Right - and ours was *conducting* the meeting -... Continue Reading →
