Specifically, I'm sorry that I didn't participate in getting the vote out. How sad is it that a decision as vital as whether to renovate and replace parts of the current high school could be decided by such a small percentage of the city's population? Can't we do better than that? I'm also sorry that … Continue reading I voted “Yes” on the AHS project and now I’m sorry
Finally – James Bond gets a woman!
Saturday afternoon, much to their father's chagrin,* the boys and I attended a matinée showing of the newest James Bond movie, Spectre. We're big Bond fans in my family, owning the entire collection of films and always willing to debate the merits of the various actors who have taken a turn in the starring role. … Continue reading Finally – James Bond gets a woman!

When the first Alabama Shakes' song, Always Alright, came on, it took me immediately back to Silver Linings Playbook, a movie (and book) I absolutely loved. I started … Continue reading Running with Alabama Shakes, Bradley Cooper and a bag of poop
Squirrelly Six – 2015
The last time I ran up, and I do mean up, at Thacher Park was over the summer during ARE’s trail series. The weather was fine and the people were nice, but the course began with a murderous hill which made me a bit cranky. I don't mind hills*, but, please let me work up … Continue reading Squirrelly Six – 2015
