 How is August (already) coming to a close?  Anyone have an answer? Anyone? Bueller?  My best defense, in terms of the upcoming change of se...

  Here we go again! Spring is finally here, both on the calendar and in the air. Races are on the roster, as is the training. March Madness ...

Can you say cloud cover? Or fog? How about continuous overcast conditions? Such was the theme, in terms of weather, this week. Although we d...

Although our weather is (currently) mild, and our temps are on an upward trend, I’m always down for a delish hot beverage.  Anyone else?  Di...

Holy Yikes, it done got cold this week!  I’m really glad there’s a virtual coffee meet-up on the roster. The conversation may be happening o...

Can you believe the MAYhem is well underway? It's hard to believe we are already 1/3 of the way through 2023. Time flies, am I right? An...

  What did I see on my last (significant) run?  Well, that would be the Full Snow Moon, of course. The Snow Moon, which is actually the seco...

January is here, and so are the chilly temps of winter. Thankfully, the (current) temps are tolerable and not the arctic gut-punch condition...
