Watch this video. The situation in Toronto earlier this week was pretty dramatic - a man, a rented van, and seemingly, a mission to hurt and kill as many innocent pedestrians as possible. While it’s something we’ve seen before, there were two things that stood out to me as remarkably different. The first, the one … Continue reading Asking to be killed

Valentine’s Day massacre – sponsored by the NRA
Last night’s run took me along a route I don’t often get to experience on foot. I had plans to meet a friend down at Nine-Pin for Fin’s pop up, (and knew that stretching my legs before my upcoming flight would be beneficial), so I decided a downhill run to the Warehouse District would check … Continue reading Valentine’s Day massacre – sponsored by the NRA
Getting run over by The 57 Bus
Many of the books I read are written for young adults. These include lots of realistic fiction, some fantasy and adventure titles, as well as the occasional nonfiction title.

I wonder “who raised them?,” … Continue reading Hands. Off.
Telling the truth – in Albany
We are living in scary times, friends. I don't know about you, but I feel anxious about the state of our country and the relationships we have internationally. It seems like a long time since I've woken up without having to wonder what kind of outrageous statement or action with which Donald Trump has greeted … Continue reading Telling the truth – in Albany
Lunar b*tches do Las Vegas
The lunar b*tches ran tonight and it was blissful. The air felt damp in a delicious way and we ran well, loose and comfortable. With two miles left, I tossed out Las Vegas and the massacre which occurred there today. Like our pace, our thoughts were in synch. We wondered why those kind of weapons … Continue reading Lunar b*tches do Las Vegas
