The Tao of Me

Earlier this month, when I first started thinking about 2011, all I could think about was the 2 DNF’s I had this year. And then I didn’t want to reflect upon the year anymore. But I’ve had a lot of downtime during this week’s staycation, looked beyond those 2 unfortunate incidents and found that there [...]

I got up super early on Sunday morning and venture to the City to meet some of my favorite Bay Area runners for the second Donut Run! (I missed the first one when I was at Spring Training in March.) {downtown San Francisco} While most everyone else ran 14 miles (from the Ferry Building, across [...]

After being away for 11 days, I’m finally back home, which means NOW I can start the New Year. In my last post I wrote about values that I want to focus on for 2011, but let’s face it, there are tactical things that, while not necessarily “big” goals, still things that I need to [...]

Last week I wrote a post about my BFF in OH, Ms Gamble. Well it was unexpected to her so I promised her she could write one about me and I’d post it no matter what. I was scared about what she would say, but when I read this last night I could not stop [...]

i love my friends — especially the ones who know me. i mean REALLY know me. and actually, its a very exclusive group. we have the most interesting, random, observant, politically uncorrect conversations. for example: on a hot day in the city:tw: i dont like it when boobs hang out during the daytimenj: the hoochies [...]

after 16 years, rina found me thru the magic of facebook. she happened to be vacationing in the bay area and we were able to meet for brunch – first time since 1992!
