This is sort of a follow-up to my post a month ago about my attending City Cycle Seattle for spin classes. And not. In a way. It is also about smoke alarms. Let me explain. Sort of. Well, I have been going regularly to the 5:30 am classes and it is a challenge. Sure, getting…
There are two things you should know and keep in mind while reading this post. The first is that I’m not really a morning person. I get up early because I have to, not because I want to. People who can wake up and immediately jump out of bed with full energy irritate me, and…
This picture is of my treadmill, and it is broken. No, it wasn’t a recent thing, either, but it has been broken for well over a year. And yet I still could not part with it. The belt tread is frayed and splitting. It needs to be replaced. The amount of money I would spend…
Because I have little time (do not ask how many days it took me to assemble this post) to write a full post I am just going to gather up something I can do in short bursts, so I present to you: Five More Random Facts About Me (see the first entry here) 1. I…

Well, it could be worse. First a little bit of background. November of 2014 while our house was being remodeled Laura and I decided we would not buy each other Christmas presents, but would instead buy ourselves a new refrigerator. And what a glorious refrigerator it is. A GE Cafe higher end model that may…
I am taking this idea from Britt, who apparently got it form somewhere else (but didn’t source). While I already have my own bucket list, it is a good exercise to see what else someone thinks of as worthy of a bucket list. Here it list is in bold, and an “X” inside the parenthesis…
August has, in his 12 years so far on this earth, had more sleepovers than I did in almost my entire childhood. But that’s not the half of it. A couple of nights ago he had a friend spending the night and they watched Metropolis. August is 12 years old, and he’s watching a film…
