Sunday Shoes & Taco Trucks
Last Sunday, Damon and I ventured out to get new running shoes. The gym near our house is going to be opening soon, and we’re both looking forward to jogging again. We were doing pretty well training before our 5k last year, but since our good pal winter arrived, we’ve been…well, significantly less active. We’re…

Bernie Sanders at Chicago State University
Three political posts in about a week! More than usual for me, but necessary as this is at the forefront of my mind right now. Read my most-read post from last week, an Open Letter to the Older Generation of Democrats that are voting for Hillary Clinton, and see Dick Van Dyke endorse Bernie Sanders. Thursday…

#DemTownHall and Dick Van Dyke
I’ll be live tweeting the #DemTownHall tonight (So, come hang out on Twitter!) between working on my novel and dozing off on the couch. Ironically we’re having lasagna again — unplanned — well, planned on our meal plan, unplanned that it’d be lasagna and politics again. I certainly won’t complain though; there are few things…

An Open Letter to the Older Generation of Democrats That Are Voting For Hillary Clinton
Hi. This is the first time in my life that I’ve ever been involved in a presidential campaign. I know it isn’t yours. But do you remember what it felt like to be this excited? Do you remember the first time you found a candidate that you could really get behind? One that really cared…

The CTA, Uncle G, and the 505
This is the second time I’ve been on a purple line train leaving Merchandise Mart at around 4:45PM. (Photo snagged from the interwebs) The CTA has a few conductors that like to talk to passengers. I had a few good years riding the red line with this guy, who often reminded passengers to “smile, it’s…

The KonMari Method, Pt. 2
Part 1 of my series on the KonMari Method can be found here. I’ve spent the majority of this long weekend (Whoop! 3-day weekend for President’s Day!) continuing the process of KonMari’ing my stuff. Yes, I’ve made it in to a verb. And it is one for me. This has been an entire lifestyle change,…

#DemDebate and Lasagna Tonight
Planning on watching and live tweeting the #DemDebate tonight, so come join in on Twitter! Damon’s put a fancy (homemade) lasagna in the oven I can’t wait to chow down on while we watch political candidates duke it out on TV. Look at this majestic meal. Fan-tastic. For now, we’re watching a guy with a…

Super Bowl 50 Recap
Man, that was a boring-ass game. No offense, Broncos and Panthers fans. But that game sucked. I was really looking forward to watching the Super Bowl. I’ve been generally less interested in football this year as I’ve had less free time and more projects going on in my everyday life. In some years prior to…

Super Bowl 50
I’m watching and live tweeting #SB50 / the #SuperBowl this evening, so come join in! I have high hopes for Peyton and the Broncos. As a Giants fan, I have a lot of love for the Manning boys. And I’ve got nothing against Cam Newton (in fact, I think he’s great), but for the historical…
