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.

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

PJW had the best take: https://youtu.be/0ppKcOgGpPM?si=fDND7nnMR8nROQJI I love the Indian woman in this video that says she was triggered because the video brought her back to when she was an … Continue reading The Green Eyed Monster Posts
Going for a Walk
Every day, I try and walk the dogs before it gets hot. I generally wear a pair of New Balance running shoes that sucked for running. They work OK for that. But walking while it's been wet made them nasty, so I don't like to travel with them, or take them to the Girl's house … Continue reading Going for a Walk
