(in no particular order:)

Seeing my sister for the first time since she went away to college!
Seeing my family for the first time in almost three months
woodstoves, dogs, and baked goods
getting hurt again (grrrrr)
running with Jue and Tony and finding out that I’m sort of in okay shape
playing frisbee at broad-effin-way and finding out that my [...]

I spent almost the entire day today holed up in the coffee shop, working on an arrangement for GQ. Despite a somewhat bizarre pain in my foot after going for a run last week, I am suddenly resolute to actually do pre- (post-?) season conditioning with WUFO in hopes of possibly playing A in [...]

Today

Today, today feels like fall, and that makes me want to run cross country again, just like spring makes me want to frolic in the grass and play frisbee and winter makes me want to swim.  Today is brilliant and sunny and filled with all the clarity of a perfect fall day, except that it’s [...]

Great Photo

I included another photo by this photographer (John Baird, check out his flickr stream) in a previous post. This is from the same scene, but with a longer exposure time. Positively eerie.

Today Team BF4EVA (Wang, Tony, Shoto, Corey, and yours truly) dominated the 25th Annual Walter Hunt Memorial Fourth of July 3k–advertised as “Maine’s fastest road race!” This is definitely believable, since the course is nearly entirely gentle downhill, perfect running grade. The run went tolerably, I ended up giving up my natural [...]

A few more things:

Ever since I migrated this thing to WordPress, I’ve gotten a few hits every other day or so for searches for “Prom Pictures.” I just so happened to have an old LiveJournal post about JUST THAT, which has also gotten hits. However, I myself tried searching for “Prom Pictures” on [...]

I did one of the very few (two, maybe?) runs that are possible at home in Bangor (well, Glenburn, really). I haven’t run for almost a week, owing to the state of my shins last Tuesday, and consequently had all the little twinges and aches one would expect from not running for a week. The [...]

Ouch.

I think I'm getting a shin splint…or not getting rid of one, or something…but my shin still hurts when I run. :(
However, despite this, I had a delightful little run up Stone Hill tonight and saw the pretty pink remnants of the awesome thunderstorm we had today and the breathtaking-as-usual Williamstown happy happy fun [...]

Being in my room at home makes me feel like somehow time here moves in slow motion, or maybe only when I’m around. This space is a sort of time capsule from when I left home, looking kind of barren but still lived in, letters and bills unopened, pencils still on the window sill, [...]

is awesome. Especially in the summer when you get the blue twilight and green flora and orange streetlights mingling in the summer-y haze. Delightful!
The run itself was really good at first, and then I got all old-mannish by the end…my poor joints aren’t what they used to be! I’m still not sure if I should [...]
