Pimpin’ my sister’s Women’s Sexual Health blog, or: “And this old world is a new world and a bold world, for me…”

Hi gang. Normally I would be regaling the four or five you haven’t haven’t stumbled upon my blog looking for suggestive Top Gun pictures with whatever Kinks album or pedantic running tale has tickled my fancy for the day. Well, right now we’re having none of that. OK I’ve been kvelling over the brand-new Wings Over America remaster, but that’s…

Race Review: 2013 Keys100 100-Mile Team Relay (Part 1), or: “Come on the amazing journey and learn all you should know…”

On the weekend of May 17-19, 2013, seventeen fellow runners and I embarked on an epic amazing adventure so gargantuan in scope, Homer would have whistled an epic haiku about it. The empirical notion that ‘haikus’ are in fact prosaic and not musical is not lost on me. But if that grants you an air…

By 1973 Ray Davies seemed ready to wash his hands entirely of The Kinks; that is to say, The Kinks of the late 60s through early 70s.

Just a quick numerically-listed update, or: “Now that you’ve woken up the demon in me…”

Let’s just keep this one simple. I have bronchitis 🙁 I’ve had it for a week now it doesn’t seem to want to go away. Because of massive chest congestion, I had to miss out on the ALS Recovery Fund 10K on Saturday, which was a massive bummer because it’s co-sponsored by dear friends of…

Noshing in Wonderland #2: “The Wave” (Disney Dining review), or: “For you, the living, this mash was meant too…”

Welcome to the second installment of Noshing in Wonderland, my inconsistently updated and sporadically interesting take on dining around the various Disney properties. I know several of you are thinking to yourselves right now: “What the hell happened to the FIRST installment?” Good question. You’ve got a lot of nerve, mister. Truth of the matter…
