Dinner Guests and Tiny Rant 53/365

Eliot invited co-workers over tonight, which is … great. We’re long overdue for having these folks over — or any folks really. But now it is 4pm, 2 and half hours before they arrive, and the house is a wreck, dinner is in its component parts, and I’m typing from bed while the kids jump on the trampoline. And I have [...]

Recovery Day 52/365

Today was a rest day for running, and I ended up taking the whole day as a rest day. Well, Ruby and I went to the DMV first thing in the morning to get a new driver’s license for me. (Oh yeah!)

Prodigy 49/365

Asa had his first piano recital today. He played some clapping song. (I ran 24 miles today, so I’m not going to get up from the couch to look up the exact title. It’s all I can do to shovel ice cream into my mouth and type.) He also played and sang “God Bless America.” The boy has a beautiful voice. I sound like that [...]
