12/5/16 – Psychological Plane-Fare I’m currently sitting in the Phoenix airport, halfway through back to back five hour leg flights. I’ve flown longer and farther but today is really taking a toll. These aren’t quite long enough flights for me to try for solid shuteye (if such a thing exists on a plane). But they […]

So… I’m back from Cleveland. And I’m packing up for my next trip that starts tomorrow. In the meantime, I thought I’d do a backlog of a few items. My neck is better from the stage dive, faux-mosh pit adventure at the Space Coast Marathon but my back is killing me from where I landed […]

‘Twas the day of the Christmas Story Run, And all through the land of Cleves, The creatures were stirring… Especially the six foot (give or take) bunny suited Kevin. Sometimes it’s best to let the photos tell the story. This is one such occasion. Oh!  And huge shout outs and kudos to my Mom the […]

I’m using points on Southwest so our tickets to Cleveland are costing tax and fees of $5.60 each way, per person. We have to do a short layover in BWI both ways which adds to the travel time. But it’s cheap. In addition to the time in the air though there’s the ungodly hour trek […]

Cross posted on Facebook today: Um… so… those three choices are all we’ve got for “Title” then? I guess I like the sound of “Prof Dr Hanna” but I’m really not credentialed for that. I’m not a doctor… nor a professor… but, ya know what? Go big or go home.

I was supposed to have an eye doctor appointment today… but I screwed up the dates. Because apparently I was supposed to have an eye doctor appointment YESTERDAY. For some reason I had typed into my phone to remind me I had a doctor’s appointment and I thought that meant as a reminder it was […]

Here are a few photos from the past few weeks courtesy of others. Sometimes you see a picture of something you distinctly remember happening but can’t believe that particular photo exists.  You suddenly realize it’s from a different angle than you ever remember seeing before. It’s new and provides a different context or perspective on […]

So my left shoulder blade isn’t hurting as much but my neck is absolutely killing me. It hurts to hold up my head, it hurts to lie down. It hurts to move from side to side. It hurts to hold still. It just plain hurts. I’ve tried tylenol, advil, aleve, topical analgesics, ice, and nothing […]

It’s befitting that this race has such close ties to NASA because the only way to describe it is that today was my Apollo 13 Marathon. It was a successful failure. Things started a little rough as despite warnings and doom and proverbial gloom air raid sirens in the Captain’s Log emails leading up to […]

This is the last entry on the Seniors First Turkey Trot 2016. Here are a selection of photos “for purchase” from the race photographers.  Were they not so expensive I would definitely buy one or two.  If you didn’t know it was me, it could be anybody in that Turkey Costume.  Hell, I should’ve just […]
