Yes to Joy! Yes to zeal! Yes, possibly, to bike shoes!
By now most of you are aware of my ambivalent relationship with bikes. I want to love cycling, really I do, and I've made great strides; buying a bike with actual gears, finding the magical unicorn of a bike seat which treats all things posterior with admirable...
So that happened.
Hello, dear, neglected blog. It's been a while. Not my fault. The world has gone all cattywampus, and I've lost my sense of humor. Very few things seem funny to me these days. Well, except for that obese and malignant cat that lives a few blocks over. His regal...
A Bolt from the Blue
Recently, I have embarked on the game changing experiment of neither dieting nor running. I have absolutely no way of telling if it's a success or not. On the one hand, I've gained eight pounds in what feels like a nanosecond. On the other...meh. I'm not so worked up...
But Can You Put a Price Tag on Love? Yup.
My husband has, among his many adorable qualities, the admirable goal of making sure I get everything I want. I cannot stress enough how much this endears him to me. Well, at least some of the time. Other times, however, His heartfelt response, "Whatever you want,...

Heavy Lies the Head That Wears the Helmet.

The Good, the Bad and the Jiggly.
Like most folks, I've spent a lot of my time sorting myself out; parceling out the traits I like and the ones I don't. I've decided that I like my everlasting urge to improve myself. I like that I'm a quick study and pick up new ideas fairly easily. I like my thick...
Which is Exactly How Shakespeare Did It, I Believe.
I had a book launch party a couple months ago, thrown by a friend and attended by other friends, all of whom instinctively knew I had no idea what I was doing. It was a great opportunity to practice reading passages and answering audience questions. Because they love...
No Cookies for You!
Last week’s cold snap aside, I think we can agree that spring is here to stay. That means that I have laced up the running shoes for another, new training season. The beginning is never good. It doesn't matter how long into the winter I persevere, lumbering through...
