Last weekend, Stacey and I went to see the Aviator for my birthday. I have been waiting to see this movie for a while now and am glad that I finally got the chance to see it! I thought that the movie was well acted, but seemed a bit long. I really enjoy aviation so […]
It has been well over a month since I last ran (at Kiawah Island) on December 11. Today, I finally got back at it after being cleared last week to run again. I only ran a couple of hours at the Duke trail today but it does feel great to be back at it! More […]
It all started very innocently yesterday. It was supposed to be a cold day (for NC) with highs in the 20’s and a chance of flurries. No accumulation was forecast. Yeah, I know…flurries! So what, you say? Well, that’s what I was thinking until yesterday afternoon. The supposed flurries arrived just before noon. The problem […]
Ripley, our new cat, is now home with us (well, sort of – he is currently quarantined in the guest bathroom)! We picked him up from Second Chance Pet Adoptions here in Raleigh earlier this week. He is very affectionate and never stops purring! Tasha is not yet a fan, but I think that’s primarily […]
I found out this weekend when traveling to NY that my name appears on the one of the TSA’s “lists”, the “Selectee List”. Although this is not as bad as being on the full fledged “No Fly List”, it means that my boarding pass will be stamped with a special “S”, or Scarlet Letter upon […]
Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that everyone is ready for 2005 and had a great holiday season! Is it summer already? It has been unusually warm here in Raleigh for the past week and is expected to reamin this way throughout the 10 day extended forecast. What is unusually warm? How about 75-80 […]
Happy holidays, everyone! I hope that everyone is enjoying this time of year. Stacey and I had a great Christmas with our almost-human cat, Tasha. We even had a bit of snow in Raleigh on December 26! What’s next? Well, it looks like it is going to be 70 degrees on New Year’s Day. What […]
I successfully ran my first half marathon (13.1 miles) on Saturday, December 11 at Kiawah Island, SC! The temperature was in the 50’s during the run, about 25 miles southeast of Charleston (just north of the Georgia border). My official time was 2:02:30, which put my rank at 859/1931. I had hoped to come in […]
Our trip to Kiawah Island, SC was to run my first half marathon. Stacey and I drove down on a Friday afternoon to our villa at the private golf resort. The drive there was very quick and non-eventful, as we have made the journey down I-95 several times in the past. Without holiday traffic it’s […]
Stacey and I spent Halloween weekend and the first week of November in New Orleans. It was out first trip to the Big Easy and we had a great time! We traveled to New Orleans for the Macromedia MAX 2004 conference (an IT conference relating to Macromedia products). For more on the conference, check out […]
