Where I love the fall
It starts with the first honeycrisp apples being available in the grocery store. They’re introduced right at the tail-end of blueberry season, right before pumpkin-everything is there. And it’s a good time. The mornings and the evenings start to get colder . . . dog walks, at the insanely early time that I walk them,… Continue reading Where I love the fall
Where I’m a monster

Where I unleash fury at a troll
There was an anonymous commenter on a guest post I made that struck me especially close to home. It insinuated that I was a horrible father, an absent husband, and, basically, a fraud. This comment was deleted, and as I run through the comment in my mind, I realize, more & more, that it was… Continue reading Where I unleash fury at a troll

Where I just let the crazy come as it may
I’m a bit fried this week, so let’s just go bullet-point style: I’ve written more this week than I have in a long, long time, but I haven’t actually posted any of it because none of it is anywhere near complete. I like to think this is me, trying to get more mature with my… Continue reading Where I just let the crazy come as it may

Where I call myself a triathlete
Unlike that first marathon, I had a time that I wanted to beat here. I never admitted that time to anyone but my inner dialog, but it was there. I kept telling people this was “only” a sprint triathlon, because that’s all it was. Why do I say this, though? Because there’s no shortage of… Continue reading Where I call myself a triathlete
