Ghost Story - Grandma's Visit
This last ghost story I have I may need to wait on publishing. Again, I feel like I've written about this one before, but I'm not quite sure where it is. I'm pretty sure I wrote about it the day or so after it occurred, so that version would be much more ac...

I just finished Haruki Murakami's book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. (It is a little strange to me that the first book I would get by him would be his memoirs on running, but that's what was available and how my thoughts have gone lately.) I...

I'm almost finished with Born to Run (the book by Christopher McDougall about ultrarunning, not the Springsteen biography). It's a bit premature to say that it is life-changing. It definitely changed my week, though. I will just sidestep the controversy abo...

What is Yacht Rock? Not very smooth of you to ask, my man.
Taking a break from my other blog post to put down a few words about Yacht Rock. If you don't know, each summer SiriusXM dedicates a channel to the smooth listening favorites of the late '70s and early '80s. Think Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald. Thi...

The other day a friend passed away... err, well it was an acquaintance. No, Mike was a friend. I'm going to stick with that. I knew him because he came into Yesterday's while I was bartending. I guess it was a long battle with cancer and fuck cancer by the ...

Ghost Story - The Books
I had to look back to see if I've blogged this before. I don't think I have. If I have, I guess it will be interesting to see how this version compares to how I remembered it before. This is a real ghost story, though. Real in the sense that it's true, at l...

A Ghost Story
I only did a short run last night. The day had been hot, and I had already run almost every day this week. Also, I was on call for work. Technically I'm not supposed to be more than 15 minutes from being able to get online in response to some technical issu...

Introducing Mountebank!
I want to preface this next post with a bit of a disclaimer: The technical posts I primarily make tend to come from the point of view of someone with two thumbs (this guy) who is exploring some piece of technology new to him. I do it primarily for my own be...

Mountebank Config File Issue and a Lesson At My Expense
tl;dr: Back up your stuff, and you have to create mountebank config files in something other than VisualStudio. Okay, the first lesson to dole out for the day is to back up your blog entry drafts as you write them. I am currently going back through some pro...

Some thoughts before I go mad or burst into little toads...
This is going to sound like the ravings of a mad man. The book I just read, Carlo Rovelli's Seven Brief Lessons on Physics , would kind of predict that though, right? Einstein must have sounded like a lunatic when he suggested that time runs differently for...
