Post-Run Coffee Thoughts

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

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

With a Litte Humour It’s Not That Bad

After my last posting I figured a  little Valentine's Day humour is in order.  Tonight's movie rumpus choices is either watching Robin Hood (BBC version aka Richard Armitage doing bad-ass things in leather), or The Avengers (Jeremy Renner doing bad-ass things in leather both mesmerized and non-mesmerized.) I need to get my sexy rumpus adventure somewhere.

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: Prepping for The Hobbit

Two days until The Hobbit premieres in theatres.  Right now people watch their extended editions of The Lord Of The Rings, while critics lament this latest film as 'too long'.  All the clips, interviews, and red carpet events basically resembles the time-honoured words, "People start your engines."  Me?  I take a different track to prepping … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Prepping for The Hobbit

Not Going to Waste a Sunny Day

People's biggest complain about blogs and social media involves the weather.  Food either comes in first or second, as in what the writer/tweeter had for lunch, but weather seems really close.  I could be wrong.  I ponder the question as this post keeps up a streak about weather-related things.  I am from Winnipeg.  We watch … Continue reading Not Going to Waste a Sunny Day

Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back

I will never, ever take sitting for granted.  I only hope to hang onto this memory, not forget it until the next time my back goes out.  It's not a great feeling to wish on anyone.  For now allow me to share a few things gleaned from the interweb, and other sundry sources. Who Knew … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back

Midweek Geekiness: An Unusual Bourne Legacy Review

Let's begin with the end in mind.  The credits rolled on The Bourne Legacy and R, a good friend of mind, noticed her ring slipped off and fell to the ground.  Her ring, in fact, is a thin, silver ring going with two other thin, silver rings.  It's one of those loose, puzzle sorts of … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: An Unusual Bourne Legacy Review
