Just to be sure that we’re all on the same page here…this quote is from one of those periodic Friday morning heartwarming articles about a kid who saved her mother’s life with an emergency 911 call. Nothing all that exciting, except that the kid’s neighbor’s name is SLASH PEA. Extraordinary! Slash Pea!
My Very Confusing Resume
My former bosses are all up on the teevee this week. One of them was going to let a Lybian dictator pitch a tent on his property. Another is suing an undercover pimp.
Oh, the stories I could tell…
I handed over a few of my hard earned pennies for this nice lady’s cause. You should, too! Marathon running is hard ass shit.

NEXT WEEK! LESS A MONTH!
That is a frighteningly short amount of time. But it’s okay, because the weekend before last I ran 19 miles (a hilly 19 miles!) and scheduled for the next two weekends I will run 20 miles. Yet I can’t run...

Just Sayin'
So last night when I went to vote in the NYC Democratic Primary the two polling officials at the table for my election district were asleep. I stood there patiently for a few moments hoping that they would miraculously open their eyes and notice me. Then I tried the loud throat clear move. And then, not knowing what else to do, I went with a loud and cheerful “Good morning!” (it was...
Oopsies!
Looks like I forgot that I have one of these tumblr thingees! Here’s what’s been happening while I’ve not been posting.
We got a Honda Accord! Why/how we got it is boring, but I have only driven a car approximately 8 times in the past ten years so this should probably prove to be a very fun experiment.
PING AND PONG GOT LION CUTS. Seriously. Professional ones. I got tired of...
Right back at ya, Spiderman!
Yesterday I was out enjoying a run in Manhattan (“ENJOYing a run,” ha! I kid!) when I jogged past a very awesome crazy person wearing a Spiderman suit. He saw me coming, pointed at me, pumped his elbows in the universal symbol for “hey, you’re running!,” and gave me two thumbs up. Naturally I pointed at his Spiderman suit, and gave him two thumbs up right back.

EEEEK!!!
A few weeks ago in casual conversation I blurted out the word “porpoise.” I honestly had mostly forgotten that porpoises existed, but having just used the word, I figured I better find out a little bit more about them. I am now, naturally, completely obsessed.
Porpoises! They’re like dolphins but smaller, and they have rounded noses rather than the bottle-nose of their dolphin...
Looking on the Bright Side
Listen, there’s a lot of complaint-worthy shit about my job. But one thing I definitely can’t complain about is the fact that my boss is taking tomorrow off from work to go to Cruefest in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and also “Ten Seconds To Love” is currently blasting from his office. I am talking very high volume.
Earlier in conversation today he name-dropped every single...
