Poppy thought she knew the new routine. But then Kin had a WFH day on Monday; and for the rest of the week, he’s gone into a different office than usual, so there’s been a totally different morning walk. Even without this change, each morning walk is a little bit...

I can't believe it's already the end of July. One month ago, we were celebrating my nephew's birthday in Maine. Where does time go?! This past week was another whirlwind — a whirlwind of writing and bad weather. Running: Due to the heat, I did three of my four runs...

The past week has been another whirlwind — perhaps that's just life in NYC, I don't know. The dog: I took Poppy to doggie daycare on Monday, but got a call half an hour later that she wasn't having any of it. I'm not surprised: there were about 20 other...

There's a lot to report: I joined gym on Monday. It's definitely no Bay Strength, and I'm going to have to get used to barbell math in kilograms, I reckon, but I'm back to lifting. I'm going to swim twice a week too as the gym has a pool. Needless...

Well, here we are in New York. Today is Kin's first day at work. New schedule, new routine, new city. It's a lot. This past week was a whirlwind: a final day and a half in Maine. Lobster for dinner. Two whoopee pies. Then on to Portsmouth NH for a...

Everything is in shambles, quite literally, as the packers and movers arrive tomorrow, and while they've been hired to deal with everything, I don't believe that "everything" means everything — so I've packed and sorted and disassembled quite a bit. It's a mess. So yeah, we're moving east. More details...

We're back in Oakland — for a week or so. Then — oh hey, big news — we're packing up and moving. But that's next week. Here are some of the highlights of this past week (written quickly because holy shit we are moving and I have so much to...

It's almost the end of Monday, and typically I try to get all my writing done in the mornings. Once it gets to be afternoon, I find it hard to write. (The challenge here is that I find the same to be true for running: so I try to front-load...
