Today’s excitement kicked off this morning with our second 5K in as many months, this one “Runnin’ to Beat the Blues” at Centennial Park here in Nashville. The rain made it a very soggy trek around the Parthenon, but we still managed to turn in personal-best times. We are far from avid runners (although we [...]

The stylist sat me down in her chair earlier this evening and asked if a #4 guard would be acceptable. “Sure,” I said, not really knowing much about the guards on clippers, other than the #4 had been noted in my computerized file, and I liked my last haircut. I placed my glasses on the [...]

On Saturday, Samantha and I participated in the Nashville Predators 5K, a road-race that took us around a good chunk of the downtown cityscape. It was our first 5K to run in, second for which to register. Illness kept us away from the event last year even though we both have t-shirts and ticket stubs [...]

Thanks to ticket deals, a 5K race and an inordinate number of games at home in February, we will be attending three of the ten Nashville Predators games this month. We went to our first of the set tonight, with the good guys knocking off the Anaheim Ducks 4-2. The win breathes new life into [...]

The weather is slowly starting to match the seasons. It is much cooler out than the 75 degree days in December where we were all but convinced that winter was giving way to an early spring. As I walked out of the office this afternoon on my way home, I could not help but smile [...]

Here is the highlight reel from 2008: Wrote one letter to the editor Joined my employer’s 401(k) plan Bludgeoned with primary election season coverage Enjoyed a nice, long period of quarterlife angst Endorsed a candidate for president Saw Ani DiFranco and Over the Rhine at the Ryman Received a tax refund and stimulus check Signed [...]

Now with the Christmas holiday behind us, our attention turns to the new year and all of the challenges and opportunities that 2009 will bring. Samantha and I sat down a while back to talk about the next several years as a means to keep the “big picture” in perspective. The next calendar year does [...]

My otherwise strong immune system suffered a setback this week, laid low by your typical Upper Respiratory Infection (common cold). I managed to get both of my co-workers ill, although they seem to be taking better care of themselves than I did. The bug is going around and around, so hopefully it will have run [...]

Today I received my copy of NHL 2K9 for the Wii in the mail. I had pre-ordered it a few days before it was to be releaased in stores, making the assumption that I would get it around the same time or a little before. That was incorrect. The game launched last Tuesday and I [...]

A couple of days ago, I made a very subtle change in the tag-line for this site. I then went around to my various online profiles and made the exact same edit, likely missing a few. Here is how it read last week: A Nashville, Tenn. resident blogging mostly about politics, news media, technology and [...]
