DJ, the other day, asked me what was the deal with “red rum”. I explained it to her as best as I could. I recall seeing the movie repeatedly when I was her age. I loved The Shining. This is what happens when you have a mom who loves horror movies. Now, as an adult,…

Day 184-185 – Weekend
I’ve had pictures taken but no time to edit thus the delay for getting them up. If you’d like to read my account of my run on Sunday, click here. But here are random pictures from my weekend. Click on the photo icon on the right there to see them in larger sizes. Baseball! A…
How the Cookie Crumbled…and Oh, Did It Crumble…
I wasn’t sure this past week if I was ready for this run. Ten days ago, I started having some nice knee pain while running. I took some time off from running – giving it a chance to recover and heal. The knee started feeling better, but I didn’t push it. I made myself wait…
Saturday Morning Musing
Today starts the Tour de France! I am always amazed at these guys. And the best commentators? The European guys. The second broadcast is usually rebroadcast with these American guys commentating from the studio….they are annoying. If you watch, watch the first broadcast if you can. In watching it this year, I realized how many…
Random Reflections
I saw this the other day and liked it. I think people sometimes forget the old adage that “little things mean a lot”. And how that phrase goes both ways in terms of how it works for positive and negative “little things”. A friend of mine the other day posted a quote that I think…
My Running Thoughts
“Running is a great sport. It requires only a pair of shoes for equipment. It’s portable because you can take them with you and do it almost everywhere.” ~Leader of the running group I belong to I will openly admit to anyone that I am lucky. I have my father’s genetics when it comes to…
Random Ponderings
While I know many experienced rain this weekend, we, in the Pacific NW, experienced sun….oh, glorious sun. Many, like me, were finally able to mow our lawns, wash our cars, and just generally allow for that glorious yellow thing in the sky to recharge our soul-ar batteries. In my little part of the Pacific NW,…
Uninspired
I am finding a difficult time lately being inspired. My project at work is so flipping sideways that I cannot even begin to figure out how to get it back on track. This place doesn’t understand project management, so they like to believe it’ll all work out. Details are not their strong suit. And in…
The Continued Fat-Health Debate
It was about 7 years ago. I had been playing coed softball when I hurt myself. And as I stood on the scale at the doctor’s office, I saw my reality as the nurse slide the big weight to 150, then the pound weight all the way to the end only to shift the 150…
A Journey thru Emmy’s Mind (or why this blog is called what it is)
My dad being here has really fucked up some things for me. First off, blog reading. I am so far behind, I don’t know where to begin. Please forgive me for not being able to make the rounds. Things will return to normal this weekend. Last night I got to hear the worst sound ever…
