Hot Chocolate 15K Racing Report
by
Perry R.
As I made my way to Chicago’s Lakefront for the Hot Chocolate 15K, I knew I would be setting a PR. Not because I felt particularly good (the previous night’s Halloween party had me feeling drained) but because I had never run a 15K. It’s a strange distance and there aren’t many of them.Ram Racing SeriesThe Hot Chocolate 15 ...

(Note: A friend asked me to post this here. She is a real person with a real job who doesn’t want to be identified, for reasons that will be apparent when you read it. Her story is all too familiar. It’s really time for Congress to stop the games and get this done.)I’m having to face some difficult choices, primarily to decide the ...

Zip-line Adventures
by
Take Root and Write ..
Can you imagine zip-lining through the rain forest canopy surrounded by vegetation so dense the ground and the sky are tucked away from view? Have you ever been in a place where noises originate from undercover creatures and reverberate through the treetops? Can you imagine that? I can; I zip-lined through the Central American rain forest several y ...

Driving into the Sun
by
Tanya
This morning, like every other weekday morning, Nigel got on his bike to go to school, Aidan walked to the bus stop to be picked up to go to his school, and I got in my car to go to work. A few miles down the road, I pulled up to the intersection and into the left turn pocket that leads out to the freeway. I could barely see the signal because the ...

gluten freeda's instant oatmeal
by
Rabbit
When I'm traveling I like to pack instant hot cereal for breakfast. Whether I'm at a hotel breakfast buffet or firing up a camp stove, I can get hot water, which means I can get a decent breakfast if I have my cereal with me. But my last few trips haven't been successful, breakfast-wise, because I've been unable to find single-serve packets of ins ...

What to Blog About? What to Blog About?
by
Roni N.
Don’t get me wrong I have TONS too blog about. That’s the blessing and the curse of a "talker". I love to talk therefore I love to blog. It’s just the way I’m wired. What I meant by "What to Blog About?" is sort of the opposite. I have so much swimming in my head that I’m not sure what t ...

My to-do list is a mile long. At least it would be if I actually wrote everything out on paper. Instead, I try to keep up with it in my crazy head of mine. Keeping everything straight. Organized. ha! I am overwhelmed {mostly because this is my main focus right now} with all that needs to happen with Lost Stork... All the paperwork. Legal stu ...

I don’t even know if posting today’s eats is worth it, but I suppose I could amuse you with them. I promise posts will be more exciting this weekend as I’m going out of town to visit some friends and then heading out to the other Hawkwatch site in Corpus Christi and hopefully meeting up with another friend while I’m out ther ...

Oh Yeah!
by
Joel McKenna
There is a Simpson's episode entitled "Lemon of Troy" in which Bart is in a Lion Cage area and he opens a door and a Lion roars at him so he closes a door, thinks for a moment then open the same door again with the same results which he then says "Oh Yeah". I use that expression all the time when I do repetitive dumb things lik ...
