After hitting a milestone at work two weeks ago and having a good race at the Country Slough Run, I decided to treat myself with a new pair of running shoes. When you work out 5-6 days a week, having a good set of shoes makes a world of difference as I have learned […]
I have been rather slack writing lately, and I spent yesterday under the influence of cold medicine. However, I was remiss in reporting that we got a bit of snow in Ludlow on Sunday. It was a torrential down pour on Saturday, but Sunday the rain was lighter and turned to snow about […]
I noticed a reference to Lovecraft while reading the local newspaper, the Rutland Herald, online. The article was entitled “Lovecraft rare book among selections”. I realized in reading it that I had missed the Horror in the HIlls Lovecraft festival in Dummerston, Vermont. Damn. Oh, well, there is always next year. […]
Rather uneventful and somewhat restful flight to Washington, DC. We rode the jet stream and got in a bit early. It was dark when we landed. Sun has now peaked out and lit up the sky. It is a rather smudged yellowish orange blue.
Waiting to board my red eye flight back to the East Coast in the N section of the Seatac Airport. There is a long line of weary travelers looking for upgrades or new seat assignments.

I returned to Woodinville for another go at the Country Slough Run. Last year it was sunny and warm. Today it was rainy, wet and cold. It was my first “adverse weather conditions” race, but I am in much better shape than last year.
Bruce Morgan joined me in the rain […]
While my co-worker Tony is continuing to love life without television, I have entered back into the cable-connected word like a junky to smack.
In particular, I have Comcast and the dvr/HD package. I tend to watch a lot of sports, but my favorite program at the moment is the seemingly endless showings […]
If you are looking for an enjoyable mess of book about pirates, voodoo, and the Fountain of Life that rivals Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man’s Chest for pure action and comedy and horror, then you should pick up Tim Powers On Stranger Tides. It has lots of other weird, cool ideas and […]
