I ate a September tomato with salt, I went for a run, I breathed air that was the freshest of fresh, I bought a cooked and chilled whole lobster and made myself an amazing salad for dinner, I climbed between semi-crisp cotton sheets and stretched my tired legs long, I lived.

Ghost anniversaries
Are wedding anniversaries like phantom limbs? You know, you can kind of still feel them even though they no longer actually exist. The remains of what was once there can create an almost physical twinge despite the fact that it is no longer present as anything but a memory. Two couples I know recently marked … Continue reading Ghost anniversaries
Summer must end
I don't know about you, but there comes a point in life when I crave routine. July and August are luxuriously lacking in structure for me and the boys.

Insane, I tell you! Last night's run was perfect. Of … Continue reading Crazy, perfect diamond
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
The title of this post kind of sums up how I felt after a recent run. I had a stitch in my side that wouldn't quit and I was forced to slow to a walk more than once over the course of 5 miles. I didn't feel particularly strong and I wondered if I had … Continue reading Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
