First: Folks I am so close to my goal for Ave of the Giants Half Marathon! 83%!  Thank you to everyone, I still cannot believe I got here so fast.  To get me to that brass ring, my last $370, I am creating a wee competition. Wee because as you will soon see… the prize […]

Today I ran the farthest I have ever ran..in my entire life. Well, in my entire life in one go.  Ready? 5.4 miles. In the rain no less.  I know, I know not super astounding.  But astounding to me at least… and apparently astounding to my knee. So I am officially on my way to […]

Welllllll. Im at 26,509 words. As of right.now. In my novel I mean. Sounds a little pretentious to call what I am trying to write a “novel”. But if we can agree to let it slide for the sake of the month of November (novel writing month) I would appreciate it.  The Nanowrimo site calculates […]

Now, if anyone has the time to do this it would be me- owner/operator of project deadbeat.  Yet […]

So. I must begin by catching everyone up to date. I have a long list of “to-do’s/want to do’s/have to do’s” for this year ahead of me. With no particular regard to any order I jumped in and purely due to scheduling the first on the list was- SCUBA! I was going to get my […]

July 2nd I quit my job after 11 years. I am voluntarily unemployed. A year of foolishness (according to some) and bravery (according to others) and adventure (according to me) lies ahead. At the end of it I hope to find something I had lost a long long time ago. Me.
