(s)not fun

So last week was just lost to congestion.  I tried to run through it but I couldn’t breath.  If snot was worth something, last week Congress would have wanted to charge me a windfall tax.
I did a mile on Friday in my new New Balance sneakers I got a Fleet Feet.  That store was really [...]

Brian’s fault

OK, Brian, inspired by Patrick, has lised his most embarrassing IPOD songs for his runs.  Well, here are mine.  Athough I lack Spears there are some bad ones on this list.
1. Girls just wanna have fun – Cindi Lauper
2. I will survive -Gloria Gaynor
3. Holding out for a  hero – Original by Bonnie Tyler & [...]

When it all comes crashing down

Continuing on the theme of mountains and valleys.   Last week I submitted my paper, this week I received permission to write my thesis from my committee.  Basically, the committee believes my work and is ready to let me defend it.  Of course there is still some experiments to complete, but I should be done some [...]

Drag school

Grad school seems to be dragging on.  After the high of submitting my paper earlier this week, the realization that the paper can and probably will be returned for revision or worse out right rejection has set in.  Now it is the waiting game to see what my fellow scientists think.  Reviewing a paper is [...]

mountains and valleys

I love Pastor Gillis’ sermons.  I don’t believe I have walked out of one thinking that was bad.  But still there are some that strike me as special.  One recent sermon that did just that was about the transfiguration of Christ.  Pastor Jerry related the event to our live by showing us that God will [...]

Great couple of work outs

I have been finding the middle of the week to be particularly hard for getting in quality work outs.  Last week was no different.   I knew Friday was going to be a very difficult and long day with Easter travel and work, so I just did a mile in 8:25 with some stretching.  However, Saturday [...]

update to last blog

It is snowing.
I know I said this was a spelling and grammar free zone but that last blog was really bad. So I fixed it up some. Wow, no blogging in the wee early hours of the morning for me anymore.

Winter’s final attempt

Well, it is 40 degrees outside right now.  With 25 mph wind gusts.  The temp will be dropping steadily through out the day with up to 4 inches of snow tonight.  When I got to Buffalo in April of 2003 there was a foot of snow on the ground, so this is not surprising.   It [...]

Are we really better then we were

I know we have 500 TV channels to watch almost anything you could possibly want, but is it really better.  Stacey and I watched the first season of The Muppet Show tonight.  It was a really funny prime time show that had muppets in it.  No one died, no clothes were stripped off. I could [...]
