    According to one of my faithful readers, my update post below about the food blog was not clear. So, here's my second try.

    I will not be posting within this blog when I update the food blog. Instead, I'll update the link to the right with the date that [...]

    I'll admit, part of the fun of running is buying the clothes. MTH on the other hand, was running in shoes with holes in them until a [...]

    Person 2: Are you sure that was her real name? Maybe her real name was "Rabbit" and "Bunny" was just a nickname. [...]

  • Thanksgiving

    Our family came to visit for Thanksgiving. It was our first time hosting MTH's parents. With our bigger house, we were able to have my parents, my sister and MTH's sister stay at our place. His parents stayed in hotel. We probably could have squeezed them in too but it [...]

    November was a good month for running. On 11/10, I ran an 8k which included a couple of small hills. Then, on Thanksgiving morning, I ran a 10k which included some large hills. I was very proud of myself given how far I've come from when I first started running. [...]

    Today in the Washington Post:

    "A Washington Post analysis of city records has found a total of $31.7 million in questionable property tax refunds dating back seven years -- including $346,700 to one fictitious company named 'Bilkemor LLC.'"

    That definitely takes nerve. [...]

    October has been a great month. The first weekend we went to Toronto for MAT (formerly MAK) and PT's wedding. The weather was awesome. It got up to almost 80 on the day of the wedding. That's crazy for Toronto.

    Our second assignment was to only photograph nature. At first, I thought I had it made. We already had a trip planned out to just east of the Shenandoah Valley. Once there, I realized that I didn't have enough charge in my camera battery to take pictures. At that point, [...]

  • Photography Class, Assignment 1

    Number of comments: 1
    In the first class, we discussed why we were in the class. My main reason for taking the class is to learn how to use my camera fully. I can easily turn it on and use it as an "instamatic". I want to understand words such as "f-stop", "aperture", "balance", [...]

    I am currently sitting on the bed trying to update my blog. Phoebe is sitting on my lap but also across my arm. Typing is not quite as easy as normal. Somehow, she is the most independent needy cat I've ever known. When we returned home from our 1 1/2 [...]

    Since I've been running a lot more lately, I thought I'd start reviewing some of the clothes that I wear. Some are definitely better than others.
