“Mommy’s boyfriend came over for dinner…”

June 28, 2010

Beer Geek has jokingly referred to my brewer friends as my “beer boyfriends” for a long time.  He’s happy to have me chat with a brewer because it usually means free beer for him. Last night, Jamoosh came over for dinner.  He arrived carrying this: Beer Geek instantly vaulted him to “beer boyfriend” status. We [...]

Isn’t that the way?

June 26, 2010

The heat here lately has been sucking all of my motivation to run long or run fast.  I’ve been all about the short runs at a 10+ minute pace.  Knowing today was going to be 78 degrees at 6:30 am and 80 degrees at 8:00 am, I wasn’t particularly motivated to get up and out [...]

Three Things Thursday

June 24, 2010

Sunday morning I got up early and was out running by 6:30am.  It was one of those summer mornings where it was super sunny, 79 degrees, and really humid.  It felt much more like August than June, even for Virginia.  From the first step, the run was a struggle.  I was counting every tenth of [...]

Happy Father’s Day!

June 20, 2010

Happy Father’s Day to two of the best dads out there! To the one and only Beer Geek – the one who plays with the boys while mom’s out running, teaches them all the fart jokes they’ll ever need to know, and is the “walking source of all useless knowledge” and answers all the “why” [...]
