    Are you a good "dieter"?

    I don't "diet" or think there is one silver bullet way to eat out there but I am conscious of what I put in my body and I move a lot. My philosophy on eating is to eat real food, lots of plants, and avoid added sugar pretty strictly. If I had to choose an author that most closely fits my...

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    I'd do this but if the dad insists on splitting it I wouldn't fight him.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    The Pan-American Masters Games are in Cleveland in July so I'm signed up to do the always popular 100m and 10K road double. I used to love sprinting but have never done it with track spikes or from starting blocks so I just purchased a set of both to practice. I ordered Joel Smith's Speed...

    Natural Deodorant and my Armpits are on fire!

    I tried a lot of natural deodorants before finding the one that works best for me. Oars + Alps is all I use now but you may need to keep experimenting.

    OJ Simpson Died

    His death is a perfect example of addition by subtraction. Good riddance murderer.

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    I have a 7 year old. I would find it really odd but would have moved on with my day and not said anything. No letter or call, just explained to my kid they did nothing wrong, that person was having a bad day, and neither of us would have thought a out it again.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Have to go mansion because I haven't ridden Guardians. I have no reason to think I won't love it based on what I've heard but I don't watch spoilers so I don't know.

    Disney World Hot Takes

    My hot take is the food at Disney isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I've had far fewer bad meals there then I've had trying restaurants at home. Overpriced definitely but not bad. I also really like Genie + though I understand the feeling that you are now paying for something...

    Topless In The 'Ol Sassagoula

    I don't care about the topless thing, we are way too prudish in the country imo, but from a safety standpoint I wouldn't swim in that river.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    There is only one way to know. I went to Cedar Point for the first time in almost a decade last year and hit all the roller coasters. I feel it more than I used to but so far non are too bad to keep riding. I mean, the answer to doing both will always be yes here :) They are different and...

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    If some drunk idiot in a sail boat took out the bridge there would be reason for specation. I'm not sure any bridge of that type is surviving a ship that big hitting it. There might be different types that would have lost less roadway but that is really the best toud find with ships that big.

    Where Can We Find Solar Eclipse Glasses (Not Online)?

    They are everywhere around here but we are in the path of totality. The local libraries are a good place and our zoo has them.

    Early fall road trip. Where to?

    Fall makes me think of New England. Fly into Boston and see the leave change in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. I'd make sure to spend the most time at Acadia NP if it were me.

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    It didn't help that Elaine's sister was fall down drunk either. That is the first thing I thought of as well. I'm sure they saved a lot of lives even if the focus will be, rightfully, on those lost.

    Question About Magic Bands

    This is my experience as well. I have an MB+ for the next trip just for the ride photos.

    DIDDY OR DIDN'T HE?

    Just like I never had Whitney being the bigger problem in the Bobby Brown relationship I never had Puffy being the bigger problem in the Bad Boy vs. Death Row feud (assuming the allegations are true of course).

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: I avoided voting for anything I haven't ridden so far but since I haven't been on either Rise or Guardians I guess I'll have to break that and go Guardians. I'm basing it on first, what I think I'll like better and second which has less down time. The imagineers should be ashamed of...

    Do you agree with Occam's razor?

    Yes. The complex, low probability cause is an outlier while the simple, high probability cause is the norm. Outliers happen but first you confirm the highest probability cause is invalid.

    The Running Thread--2024

    There are companies that have pretty lenient return policies on shoes if you want to order them to try. Zappos is one I've used but I don't know about work boots.

    Bicycle safety and awareness

    It is something I always look out for. There is something called the Dutch Reach that helps spot bikes before you "door" them.
