Fact: on MOPS mornings, I don’t ordinarily have coffee, since I know I’ll have coffee there.
Fact: I don’t ordinarily eat breakfast those mornings, either, since ditto.
Fact: I can’t cook without caffeine of some sort in my system.
Fact: I was on tap for a “hot dish” for this morning’s meeting.
Results: I had several large mugs of [...]

It’s all dark, and I have no inclination to turn on a light to disrupt my slow waking. Coffee mug in my hands, terry bathrobe on my body, sleep in my eyes. Silence in the house.
I’m up this early not for the usual reason – that is, to go running. It’s a [...]

There are dark clouds hanging low in the sky. It’s not supposed to rain anymore (it did yesterday, and it might again tomorrow), but it feels like it should, in more ways than just appearance. The part of my brain that demands chaos, action, SOMETHING, is wanting those clouds to split open and [...]

Starting Week 13 of this marathon training cycle; only about four weeks to race day. A 23-mile run is scheduled for this Saturday (ought to be fun; they’re predicting rain ), and then (weekend long runs only) a 12, a 14, a 10, and then…there we are. I really, really ought [...]

Sam watched President Obama’s address this morning at school. Leaving aside all debate, I asked him what he thought of it. “Pretty cool,” he said. So, what did the president say to the kids watching? “Um, he said to…never give up, never surrender.”
(Something tells me that movie made something of an [...]

My stomach is kind of flip-floppy, and my throat is a little goopy (sorry), and the whole world smells sort of yellow. (Do you ever get that? Where the best way to describe a non-visual sensation somehow works out to be via a color?) I don’t want to be sick! But [...]

I sort of hate venting about Sam like that, even when it’s justified, because he’s human, too. Growing up is hard. I can remember that, though it’s easier to do so when I’m not consumed with how hard it is to actually be a grownup, and a parent, to boot. I’m not [...]

I’ve been eyeing this hat at Copacetic for a month or two, and I finally bit the bullet and got it. It’s specifically designed for running! I’ve actually been pretty lucky so far this summer not to have gotten burned while running, primarily because most of my runs have been pre-dawn or in [...]

(Sorry, a little Westing Game reference.)
So I had a fridge slightly brimming with leftovers, and the groceries are being delivered this afternoon in preparation for a visit from my father-in-law. Clearly, something needed to be done. Of course, for most folks, cleaning up might have been higher on the list than, say, making [...]

I could have put this over at the foodie blog, but I want to share the love far and wide. I Twittered about doing this yesterday, and I got mixed reactions of horror and intrigue. Mind, it’s far from my own original idea! Near as I can tell, the first [...]
