I had a great run this morning with my clinic participants. Tomorrow will mark the last day of my Learn to Run/5K clinic, with most of those individuals from the former moving up to the latter. 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

Tapping the Inner Katniss/Merida/Hawkeye/Green Arrow
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
Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
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
Midweek Geekiness: Back on Track
Downton Zombie Night **Spoiler Alert in Case I put in Spoilers** For a little while Downton Abbey and The Walking Dead find themselves simultaneously recorded on my PVR. It pretty much represents my two sides of geekiness. On one hand we have Downton Abbey in all its period, soapy glory. I love English costume dramas. I … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Back on Track
Midweek Geekiness: Downton Comes Back and Playing with My Precious
Where's The Hobbit Review? Currently on a thumb drive in my pocket precioussss. At least a draft of it while I debate going one more time, at the St. Vital Silver City, to see it in 3D AND 48 frames per second. The hard part about writing the thing is addressing some of the negative … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Downton Comes Back and Playing with My Precious
Midweek Geekiness: It’s Actually Wednesday Edition
Oy vey gevalt. No, I am not Jewish. The yiddish phrase pretty much summed up discovering two 'Midweek Geekiness' posts for the new year happened yesterday. Yesterday was not midweek. At least a few items cropped up for my nerdy pleasure. Let's start with a reminder of what Thorin Oakenshield looks like without the wig and … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: It’s Actually Wednesday Edition
Midweek Geekiness Part Two: Onward
Yes, I saw The Hobbit. Yes, I saw it more than once. Yes, a review is coming. Now that we got that out of the way, a few notable things to mention. How about finally, FINALLY becoming a member of Whedonesque. Whedonesque devotes itself to all things Whedon and his many works. From time to … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness Part Two: Onward
Midweek Geekiness Part One: Turning the Page on a New Year
Michelle W over at the Daily Post posed a simple prompt today: Where were you last night when 2012 turned into 2013? Is that where you’d wanted to be? It's a good question to ask prompt or no prompt. New Year's Eve gets loaded with expectation and regret. The stoke of midnight puts a period … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness Part One: Turning the Page on a New Year
A Blog-Inspired Gift
My friend V told me the story about the strange looks given to her as she outlined her gift to me. This came before I unwrapped the tissue paper, my first thought was alright. My friends know me well, some of them too well, and V was no exception to either rule. "I told them … Continue reading A Blog-Inspired Gift
Midweek Geekiness: Through the Looking-Back Glass
Like many blog writers, I looked over my posts over this almost-completed year. Technically, this blog has gone on for over a year. I had reflective posts, fumbling posts, and Book Talk posts. Midweek Geekiness came after getting stumped for ideas. Using the adage 'write what you know', I read all things sundry and nerdy. … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Through the Looking-Back Glass
