it’s working

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I had purchased a second pair of orthotics and some new shoes to go with them. I’m happy to report that things are going pretty damn well. My first pair of Nimbus VIII’s had to be returned after a couple weeks because of a bad seam in the […]

that’s exactly it

Man, Grumpy Chris managed to capture exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve been struggling to figure it out for myself… well… admit it to myself, and he just comes right out and says it. You’ve got to decide if “coulda been” will be enough to wrap yourself up in when you’re 40 years old […]

oh. my. god.

This is, quite possibly, the vilest recipe I have had the misfortune to come across. Ingredients include: 1 large bag of pork rinds 1 brick of Velveeta Cheese 1/4 cup sour cream 6 slices of crispy bacon 1 small onion 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 jalapeno peppers 1/2 bag of chocolate chips (butterscotch chips may […]

aftermath

On Wednesday nights, I go running with a few friends. The routine is usually meet at someone’s house at 1900, run for 45 minutes or so, then go to the pub for a meal, a drink or two, and some great conversation. In the summertime it changes a little. Instead of going to the pub […]

Moggy responds to a lot of memes. Some of them are entertaining, some of them are not (to me; she’s a little more easily amused, I guess – and I say that in a good way). Today’s was something I can answer and thought it was kinda cool (and I even share one answer with […]

that’s “zdeno” with a “b”

Today, I have to admit, I am really, really happy that I’m not a Sens fan. That said, I think Mr. Chara has made a colossal mistake in signing with the Bruins. Unless, of course, it’s all about the 7.5 big per year and not about the game. In that case, good deal! I’m still […]

happy canada day!

On this day, 139 years ago, our big little place on the big blue marble was created. My parents were married on the 100th anniversary, and the 125th anniversary seems like it was only yesterday. Happy birthday to the place I will always call “home”, no matter where I end up. *sniff* (and ya, I […]

I know exactly how you feel (at least, I’m pretty sure I do). Good luck. Remember: sunshine and fuzz therapy in large quantities.

so maybe they’re working

I’ve run three times this week, and things are feeling a lot better. The excruciating pain along the fifth metatarsal has faded considerably. My knee isn’t telling me to stop after twenty minutes. I now get some pain in the arches, but I was told to expect that as the foot adjusts to the corrections […]
