I’ve been testing barefoot runners on Fridays, when I don’t usually work out. It’s a short run, about 1.5-2 Miles. Enough to warm up and enjoy, but not enough where it’s a beating out in the heat. Thursdays, after I lift, I’d have a sense of peace and accomplishment. I’d get a little euphoric that … Continue reading Creating a Monster

DC Update
Funny stuff, this Trump takeover of law an order in DC: https://youtu.be/w7UczUOIKjw?si=OTNnIpux9EwD4hHw I love the shrill white karens squawking about black men here. Like he said, she ain’t been black a day in her life. The beginning with the retired UPS driver is epic. No bragging, just appreciation for the ability to go downtown without … Continue reading DC Update

No matter how hot it gets, both pups will go out to catch some rays, then come in and snooze on the tile floor.

Running Barefoot
I run a few days every week, about three miles. Usually I take Fridays off to start my recovery. I am, after all, an older gentleman. A few years ago, we had a physical therapist, sports variety, speak at the Church. His big thing was zero drop shoes, how you should have shoes that allow … Continue reading Running Barefoot

It's taken a couple years, but the two are pretty much a bonded pair now. Usually it's rare they are sleeping in the same room, let alone together. This made me smile.
Losing It
The other day, I lamented the end of my Thinkpad. Well, rumors of it's demise are premature. Behold: I got to thinking - the power strip was off the other night when the light should've automatically turned on. I turned it on, but that may have been after the laptop died. It was even easier … Continue reading Losing It
Don’t Stop
Found on Vox Popoli the other day: An 88-year-old who I’d been seeing for falls, weakness, and a hip fracture told me I looked strong. Asked if I lifted weights. I proudly confirmed his assumption as I’d been lifting for the past 9 years. He smiled and said he used to lift too. Shared his … Continue reading Don’t Stop
Gremlins Running Wild
A great day, tater. Came back from walking the dogs this morning, and found this: Fuck. That's a Samsung monitor I bought back in 2020. Seems old, but the working monitor to the left is a Samsung, an earlier version of this one, that I bought well before this one. I farted with it awhile, … Continue reading Gremlins Running Wild
