Let's begin with the end in mind. I crossed the finish line, let out a big whoop, and hugged a former clinic participant who crossed the line before me. It was her first timed race, and her enthusiasm spread to me. It's more than just a time. I crossed that line and felt like I … Continue reading Trek for Tourette’s Race Recap
Remember the news Google Reader will no longer exist after July 1st? It's to give people enough time to find a suitable substitute, and migrate their feeds after seeing if such a thing exists. I found something right away, but people need time. Well, Google forgot people needed time. Imagine my surprise, shared by many … Continue reading Weird and Wacky Adventures Around the Net and Random Things
Egads. I have run 5 K before and ran it many times. Today marked the first time one run knocked me side ways. I peeled off my running clothes, still sweated despite the cold, and noticed my pink legs. Winnipeg returned to -29 weather, with the possibility of a blizzard approaching to blind the city … Continue reading The Knock-Me-Sideways Run

Regarding my archer entry from yesterday I forgot to add Robin Hood. How can I talk about archery with … Continue reading Post-Run Coffee Thoughts
I reconnected with someone at a church dinner. The dinner itself, a fundraiser for a new sound system took place at my old parish. Meeting the new pastor, new to me, at my old parish warrants an entry. This story involves women, bows, and arrows all glowing in the dark. The person I saw again … Continue reading Tapping the Inner Katniss/Merida/Hawkeye/Green Arrow

Once the weather warms up my body and psyche feel a little lighter. The blustery cold recedes, and I trade in my long winter coat for something shorter, yet just as warmer. I have an idea for the Milestone Widget, but this time will not involve a show or movie. In the mean time a … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
