The moving adventure continues. Let's see… We were in Dubois PA for a night (and I ran in the morning). We were in a hotel in Parsippany-Troy Hills NJ for two nights (and I ran one morning). That stop allowed us to unhitch the trailer and drive into the city...

Coming at you from Elkhart, Indiana, where it's raining, we left Poppy's dog bed out overnight, and the smell of wet dog and the sop of wet dog bed is going to really suck for the next bit of our journey. We're in the Eastern time zone now, which despite...

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...

We’re in Clearlake Oaks for a few more hours. Check-out time in RV parks is typically the same as hotels: around 11 am. It’s not a terribly long drive back to Fairfield, where we store the trailer. And fingers crossed, when I update the blog next week, I’ll be able...

Yesterday I ran my second-ever half marathon and performed better than I could have ever imagined: 1:50:48 was the official time, which is 4 minutes faster than the race I ran 6 weeks ago. I'm pretty tired today, no surprise, and my legs are a little sore. But I am...

I always think of my friend Tim when I cite the line from Deadwood: "Everything changes; don't be afraid." And here I am again, looking ahead to what is, quite likely, a new start. Again. I won't go into much detail now; it's too soon to say what's going to...
