Heading to the Frankly Frosty Frontier of Anchorage, or: “Take me to the pilot of your soul…”

Yeah yeah, I haven’t been posting much lately. I know. Some recent… shall we say, “access control changes” have made it a wee bit more problematic to post as often and as perspicaciously as I’d like to. Plus I’ve been super freakin’ lazy and burnt out lately, but I think that’s going to change very…

My next great running adventure, or: “When the mind is willing, it gets downright perilous….”

Well no rest for the wickedly awesome, they say… November has been an incredibly busy month for the staff here at Hokeyblog. We’ve just come off two weeks of back-to-back half marathons at Disney parks on TWO COASTS, and if my carefully-curated budget spreadsheet is any indication, I should pretty much be wearing a barrel…

Greetings from 30,000 ft. over the Salton Sea, or: “It’s time I was king now, not just one more pawn…”

Well, it’s not like you didn’t know this was coming. Unless you’re new here, in which case: welcome! Anyway we’re on our way back from yet another visit to Disneyland, this time for the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend. A great time was had by all, even if it was just a super brief trip to the…

Heading out to Boston tonight, or: “I was born in the sign of water, and it’s there that I feel my best…”

We interrupt your Halloween Buttkickingness for a moment, if we may… And by “we” I mean all the useless monkeys at Omnis Network hosting services, who have been working diligently day and night to provide the kinds of incompetently mediocre and talentless services one has come to expect from the 21st-century industrial American mindset. But…

Hi gang! At long last, that magical hour is upon us, as we launch the first installment of our four-part, in-depth discussion of the 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend — Hokeyblog’s third consecutive year attending this celebrated race event! Yessiree Bob, we have got a bushel of stuff to dive into — race reviews, dining reviews,…

Yet another midflight update post, or: “In the name of God my father I fly…”

So ahh… yes. I’m on my way back from six fun-filled nights in sunny, beautiful, humidity-free Southern California. Naturally there will be a host of updates, reviews, recaps, pics, and the like to come over the next few days. Huzzah! In the meantime, here’s my annual tradition that absolutely nobody asked for: pictures from midflight,…

2013 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend: Arrival, Expo, and Being Recognized, or: “No second billing, ’cause you’re a star now …”

At 5:15 in the morning on Thursday, August 29th, 2013, a Lincoln Town Car pulled onto Hiatus Road in Sunrise, FL, and with that auspicious beginning Boots and I began our journey that would take us from the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale, FL to the legendary Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. The time had finally…
