Running onto the inner track of Church Hill Downs (Kentucky Derby fame) the thought hit me: whereas Notre Dame fans like the idea of running onto the field at the Sunburst races, Kentuckians like the idea of running on the track of Church Hill Downs.
But that didn’t help me much: Mile 14 I crashed. I [...]
We leaving very soon for the Kentucky Derby Marathon. Looking for a pr of 3:40 and the weather looks great.
Now, for a 5hourish drive with Lois.
I’ve not been a fan of the newer “In God We Trust” Indiana license plates for a few reasons, but the one that bothers me the most is that Indiana drivers don’t have to pay extra for the special plate.
That should bother any tax payer, yes?
I can see how some of my Christian friends would [...]
The long run Saturday (12-miler) went well and fairly bearable (+39f).
Today, Lois and I did some online quizzes and here are the results to two of mine:
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from [...]

Perhaps it’s just me, but in any marathon training schedule, it’s that run roughly 4 weeks before the race: it’s the LONG RUN. This was a good run despite the +22f weather with a bit of 16 mph “in-the-face” wind that [...]
With the birth of my first son, Evan, I decided to use my new found skills as a Claris Homepage fiddler to put together a website…for real. I found these main page images that served as a clickable image for that site:
From Engaget:
Facing a $1 billion budget deficit, Michigan state House Democrats have proposed the natural addition to such a weighted spending plan: free iPods for every kid. Ostensibly for educational purposes, the $38 million plan would provide iPods or MP3 players to every student in Michigan to use as a learning tool. We’ve seen laptops [...]
As sometimes I do when I have extra time on a Spring Break where it is snowing outside, I cruise on over to the Indiana DOE site to see what is “coming down the pipe” from Indianapolis. I know that 7 Habits encourages us to not concentrate on the Circle of Concern that is not [...]
Inspired by the PowerPoint wizard’s treatment of “The Gettysburg Address,” I decided to play with a pair of Unix analysis programs– style and diction– and see what would happen to Lincoln’s famous speech.
Here’s the original speech:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived [...]
Someone asked me to come up with some questions to engage a sibling in amusing conversation (yes, that is quite cryptic). Since the list took some creative energy (dated 30 Mar), I’ve copied it here for your viewing pleasure. Feel welcome in adding your own or giving your take on the questions.
*The State of Indiana [...]
