I’m a busy person – and, as a busy person, I find odd times to get stuff done. And, as a health-conscious person, workouts are an important part of my day. This means that, every day, my plan is to wake up early1 and sweat for a bit. I walk the dogs, and take inventory… Continue reading Where I remember just how special the title of “daddy” can be

Where I think about my swagger
You can file this under the “no shit” category, but I haven’t been posting much lately. Unlike most of my blogging dry-spells, though, this isn’t because of lack of ideas. Between my kids, and my pets, and my job, and my diet & workout regimen, and my music, and my “Johnness,” and Lance Armstrong, I… Continue reading Where I think about my swagger
Where me put fancy word things to brain burps
I’m tired, and it’s cold, and my life has been a bit crazy, so anything fancier than bullet points won’t ever get published. It’s really freaking cold – so cold that one of my dogs, the other day, when I started getting ready to take the dogs for a walk, said “meh,” and decided to… Continue reading Where me put fancy word things to brain burps
Where stream of consciousness Tuesday makes a repeat performance
I can’t raise my left-arm above my head without wincing. So I should just stop trying to do that. We went out to dinner with another couple last night, there were no kids present. After the normal pleasantries & talk of our jobs, we talked about Doctor Who, and Song of Ice & Fire .… Continue reading Where stream of consciousness Tuesday makes a repeat performance
Where I just write whatever the heck comes to mind
It’s snowing, so I’m using that as an excuse to bring out the bullet points. Again. Because that’s what I do. I ran a Turkey Trot 10k over Thanksgiving. Why, oh why, in a packed race, where there are clearly delimited starting areas for runners of every speed, would you choose to walk, while pushing… Continue reading Where I just write whatever the heck comes to mind
Where I make myself better with my kids
I’m working from home today, because I have some virus which is just absolutely kicking my ass. The past three years or so have had me sick far, far, far too often. Obviously, my children are evil. The worst part about being sick? No, it’s not that I can’t work out, but it’s that I’m… Continue reading Where I make myself better with my kids
Where I discuss my Thursday lunches
Thursdays are long days for me. If I want to work out, I have to wake up early to do it . . . and, I almost always do. See, I’m about to attack my metabolism at a Chinese buffet, so I do something to burn some calories in an attempt to reduce the damage… Continue reading Where I discuss my Thursday lunches
Where I think about the past three years
So I wrote this post and it was supposed to be published yesterday, but I forgot to actually schedule it, so you get it today. I was dealing with a tedious day at work, when Duffy texted me. There was stuff to be done, as there always was, but I had different users wanting different… Continue reading Where I think about the past three years
Where I dress up in tights to amuse my children
Last night was Halloween, and with Halloween comes Trick-or-Treating, and candy, and, most importantly, costumes. A few months ago, we started asking what each of them might want to be — CJ seemed torn between Anakin Skywalker (despite his innate geekiness, he doesn’t understand that Anakin & Darth Vader are one & the same person)… Continue reading Where I dress up in tights to amuse my children
Where I pull a half-marathon out of nowhere & bore you with the details
I haven’t been running as much as I used to. Heck, I’ve even been wondering if the name “Daddy Runs a Lot” is really applicable anymore . . . but, when push comes to shove, I still do enjoy running. And I would run a whole lot more than I do right now if I… Continue reading Where I pull a half-marathon out of nowhere & bore you with the details
