This past week was just incredibly busy — funny since Monday was Labor Day and ostensibly a holiday in which workers all get a rest. (Or, in the US, workers are all bribed with mattress and car sales so as to avoid any sort of pinko agitation. But I digress…)...

We are up in Maine until about noon today, before we head south — stopping tonight at an RV park in New Hampshire before parking the RV in its new spot in a storage unit in New Jersey tomorrow. That’s almost the last thing on our “Move Across Country” task...

Saturday was my worst race ever. I mean, I have only raced in seven or so other races. So there’s not a lot to compare it to. And it’s inevitable that bad races happen. I watched the “shocking upset” in yesterday’s World Athletics Championships 800 meter women’s race — defending...

I turned 52 yesterday and Kin asked what I had planned for the upcoming year. All I could really detail — and quite frankly much of what I’m focused on right now — is the upcoming race season. My first race is Saturday — a 10K in Central Park. I...

Another busy week, although a strange one as Kin was home sick for most of it. Was it COVID? I’m not sure. He never tested positive, but he had all the symptoms. That said, I never felt sick at all, so if it was something he picked up at the...

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...
