  • A low point

    This afternoon I went to the doctor, for my various ailments: high cholesterol, a dodgy looking toenail, my busted hand (which appears to be tendonitis and thankfully not a fracture), my busted knee (which appears to possibly be a damaged meniscus and not just swelling (not so good)), and my snotty nose (for which I’ve […]

  • A deserved journey to hell: Port Of Lost Souls

    As they say, karma is a bitch. Or rather, if you make your children weep with sadness, you’re going to have to go to a water park.

  • You don’t know what you miss until it’s gone: Henderson Waves and plantar fascitis

  • Leaving again

    Tonight I’m flying to London – I’ll be away from home for just under four days. I felt blue all day. Some of that was related to not getting much sleep (I was up at five getting ready to go for a run ay 6:30), some of it was due to the weather (which veered […]
