It’s hard to believe that it’s been 2 years since Covid became a virus “of interest”. It was a few more weeks before we started hearing about it and a little over two months before the US shutdown, but the growth had already begun. 2020 went from a year with amazing plans to a year…

More coffee, please!
Apparently my blog has been reduced to a coffee break. Oh well, that’s where I am in life right now and I’m just going to own it. I’m joining Deb and Coco for another virtual coffee. Someday I’ll get to have coffee with friends again. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I…
Where has the summer gone?
I can’t believe that the last time I wrote a post was in late May. My older kid was home, having survived a semester away at school but taking online classes, but the younger one was still in the final (painful) weeks of online school. I honestly don’t think I’d given that much as a…
A little coffee with friends
It’s been a long time since I had coffee in person with someone. Even thought it was never a regular thing for me, I miss it. But I’ll settle for virtual coffee today with Deb and Coco and my friends inside the computer. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I miss my…
Throwing back to ZOOMA Bermuda
A year ago, we were only just beginning to get inklings of what was to come. Coronavirus was just beginning to make the news and the average American had no idea that the country would basically shut down in a month. In fact, my first real understanding came when some of our ZOOMA Bermuda medals…
Kicking Off 2021 with a Big Ole Cup of Coffee
I’m not one to stay up super late on NYE, but ironically, last night I was up late thanks to insomnia. Thank you 2020 for one last kick in the teeth. So, I’m up a bit later than normal and sucking down caffeine like it’s my job. Seems appropriate to hook up with Deb and…
November definitely needs more coffee
6 days into November and I’m about ready to mainline coffee. That’s a thing, right? OK, probably not, so I’ll just make another big cup to get me through the day while I join Coco and Deborah for a little chit chat. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m so glad to…
September Runfessions: Getting Ready to Run ALL the Miles
September is usually one of my favorite months (October is my #1 favorite), and this year that holds true, sort of. The weather in Virginia has been awesome, but so many other things have been challenging, that it’s hard to appreciate the weather. I’m joining up with Marcia for a few runfessions (and maybe a…
Give me ALL the coffee, please!
I can’t believe it’s September already. In some ways, it feels like it’s been years since life was “normal”, but in others, it feels like the year is just flying by! I also can’t believe I haven’t posted since the last time we had coffee. Gone are the days when I posted 5 days a…
It’s too hot for coffee…
But I’m drinking it anyways. I don’t mind iced coffee, but I much prefer the hot stuff. I definitely need a coffee date though, so I’m combining the monthly coffee date with Deb and Coco and weekly run down this week. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that my hip suddenly decided it…
Happy Hour is the new Coffee Date
Here we are starting a new month in a world where coffee dates and Happy Hours are taking place online. ZOOM is the new cool coffee shop and bar. So I guess Deb and Coco‘s virtual coffee date was just ahead of its time. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I ran…
Running in the age of Coronavirus / COVID 19
I’m gonna just put this out there: I am 100% in favor of social distancing. 100.Percent. I am far from panicked, but I do believe it’s a necessary step based on everything I’ve read and some personal friends who are in the trenches. I may not be a doctor, but I am a research librarian….
