Join the 99%! (It’s not what you think)
Due to a work trip, I spent about 4 hours in the Charlotte, NC airport this weekend. If you’ve never been, it’s pretty nice as airports go. Lots of good food choices, plenty of motorized walkways, and most importantly, a lot of comfortable seating. It was that seating that really got me to thinking. The [...]
Miles are always easier when they aren’t yours
Last night, a friend of mine was talking about how he had a 1 mile time trial run today later that evening. This guy is a rock star amateur who runs faster than I can ever imagine running. He probably ran more miles last year than I have, ever. And yet here he was, fretting [...]
The road back is so much harder…
Hello, I don’t know who you are but I’d like to tell you something. Are you in good shape? If so, good for you. I’m going to direct this blog to you, because the folks who aren’t in shape who are reading, they already know what I’m talking about. Think of me as the Ghost [...]

Lost Vegas: the gadgets and fun of CES
Each year I go to CES with the thought that this will be the year I eat healthy, exercise every day (beyond the 4-6 miles of walking each day that come with going to the show), win a ton of money, and make a bunch of new industry contacts. Every year, I come home disappointed [...]

Week 1 endeth, Vegas awaits
I’m about 15 hours from touching down in Las Vegas, and I’m nearly ready. A little packing, a little sleeping, and I’m on my way.

New Year, New Plans, New & Old Challenges, New Successes
Happy New Year everyone, unless you’re Chinese then Happy whatever day it is for you! Rach and I kept it low key, just chilling out at home with Stanley. For the past couple years we’d spent New Years Day running a 10k, and then walking off the Massachusetts cold in a local mall. This year, [...]
