Summer nights in Georgia

One thing that really shocked me when I first moved to Georgia was the evening thunderstorms. Wow, what a light show they give you. I thought I’d take a little space here to share with y’all what these are like. I took these pictures last night (June 27, 2008), starting around 9:30. The sun was [...]

Damn chain letter!

So there I was…Lunchtime yesterday. Heading out for my run, and at the last second, decided to do loops around our complex instead of my usual route. It’s a nice 1.2 mile loop that has some flat sections, so I could work on my walking form. It started off good…the first lap went with no [...]

I could be out running. Or sleeping.

Ah, last night started with good intentions. Headed to bed early, planned to sleep in a little bit, then head out for a run. Come 4:30 though, I was awake. But it’s not as bad as it seems, since I was woken up by a big thunderstorm. I was awake enough to decide to grab [...]

Tag-I’ve been ITed.

Oh, I’ve been tagged by David Ray. Guess that makes me it. For those of you who don’t spend their lives in front of their computer reading running blogs, this is blog-chain letter. Whoever is tagged answers 5 questions (related to running), then passes this on to 5 others. I don’t know the origins, so [...]

Off to Baton Rouge – part II

Trip to Baton Rouge part II. (Click here to read part I.) So, after a late night of gambling, Friday got us up early to hit the road again. Of course, because we needed sustenance, we headed to the Hard Rock Cafe for breakfast and the opportunity to win a little more money. Then, off [...]

<Warning: Spoilers may be in this. Then again, there may not. Only the Mole knows.> <You should watch episode 3 before reading.> Oooh….this week was pretty good. So far, we haven’t noticed anything in the opening credits that have jumped out as a clue. The only thing that stands out is Nicole going on about [...]

Heading to Baton Rouge-Part 1

This last weekend, we took a drive to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a wedding. (A bit over 600 miles from home.) This details the first part of the journey. Leaving on Thursday morning, our plan was to meander down to Biloxi, Mississippi by side roads and small highways. Generally, we enjoy taking the scenic route [...]

The Mole – Week 2

<Warning: Spoilers may be in this. Then again, there may not. Only the Mole knows.> <You should watch episode 2 before reading.> Wow! What a week it was – who knows who the dang mole is? In the first challenge, just about everyone did something to make you think its them: Bobby, who said he [...]

The Mole 2008-Week 1

Okay, anyone who has known me long enough to ever have a conversation about reality TV will know that in my opinion, the best show ever made was The Mole. Unfortunately, it was canceled after 9/11. Anderson Cooper made a great host, and the game was very mentally challenging. (The Amazing Race is a very [...]

Got Guts? No, but we’re happy.

This morning, as a rare treat, GUTS (Georgia Ultrarunning and Trailrunning Society) had a monthly training run on our side of town. So, being the card carrying member that I am, and having never gone to one of their runs, I figured it sounded good. They were going to the Suwanee Greenway to run. It’s [...]
