So I’m standing at the starting line, and I check my Garmin, which I haven’t used in a while – not since the last time I did [...]

I’m all jittery. I always get like this before a race, where part of me is excited and ready, and part wants to hide behind the sofa until it’s over. What’s up with that? It’s not like I’m a contender for a medal or anything; I’m middle-to-back of the pack! Something [...]

Things in days, that is. Michael Green came up with the idea of setting 101 goals for oneself, with the intent of accomplishing them in 1,001 days. The man must like symmetry or something.

I finally got an appointment with a new doctor. It’s hit me that I am having a ton of headaches lately, not all of which are horrible, but most of which are nagging and making me snappish at the least. Then there’s the dizziness, which hits not just when I go from sitting [...]

I just realized that I’ve been dating January stuff with 2007 instead of 2008. My computer just assumes I know what I’m doing – now, why would it think that? – so it backdates it all, and everything disappears from sight into the depths of my calendars. Argh!
New year hasn’t even started, and [...]

Eric’s in Kentucky until Friday. Boy, does this wear on a family.

GABE (despite our reassurances): “Daddy’s moving far, far away!”
