Hi gang. So let’s get the 800 pound emu out of the way: I’ve been radio-silent for the past two weeks. No worries though, there’s nothing horrifically awful or bad or even mediocre going on in Hokeyville. I think that four-part Disney Marathon Weekend monstrosity kind of blew my creative juices clear into the next…
So no, I didn’t run the 2014 Walt Disney World Marathon on Sunday, January 12, 2014. And man oh man, I so should have. Really. You can take a gander at my experience during the 2013 Walt Disney World Marathon to see what that incredible ordeal was like. Or, for the elevator pitch version: I…
“I would like… if I may… to take you… on a strange journey…” That’s a pretty good Charles Gray impression, isn’t it? I mean, it WOULD be, if you could hear me right now. But given that the previous proclamation was deliver as the written word and not in fact audio, this is entirely a…
I posted this over at Rhapsody In Yellow, our running group blog, and I figured why not? Share it here as well. I’m kinda sorta proud of it…

This also meant that you were in on the ground…
Special thanks to Debbie. She knows why. You know I originally wasn’t planning on running the Disney Family Fun Run 5K during the 2014 Walt Disney World weekend, but I did, and there you have it. Taking place in the early hours of Thursday, January 9th 2014, the 3.1 mile course circles around the EPCOT…
So Boots and I are leaving Wednesday afternoon, a 3 hour jaunt up the Florida Turnpike to hit Walt Disney World for the 2014 Marathon Weekend. Huzzah. The bad news is that, over the past two weeks, I’ve battled the flu, a UC flare-up, and now a stomach bug of some sort. Yup, with me…
Happy 2014 gang! Right around now the blogosphere is replete with navel-gazing contemplations of the annum sort, in which each proprietor of their respective shingle takes celebratory/accusatory stock of their last full revolution around that gargantuan fusion reactor 93 million miles away and endeavors to extract some full measure of perspicacity and insight. And I’m…
Hi gang! Welcome back, it’s been awhile. Other than a few Buttkickin’ Holiday Songs shared throughout the season, it’s been pretty quiet around Hokeyblog for the past few weeks. It’s not quite that I haven’t had much to say; more along the lines of I hadn’t found an interesting way to talk about things. And…
While I’m not a Christian, I remain a Big Star acolyte… and quite frankly, I’d imagine this particular song is apropos for Christmas Eve. So that being said, I’ll just let this one play out without any further commentary.
