Friday 5: Off balance
Happy Friday! Resolved: To start treating my body better, even when — no, ESPECIALLY WHEN — I’m under stress. I eat like crap and then I fall asleep early and wake up feeling like I never slept. I need better…
You can’t handle the (missing) tooth!
Here’s something good that happened in the last few weeks… Back in September of 2015 I bit into a cheesesteak spring roll (I love Philadelphia) at a lunch meeting with my manager and my tooth broke. Back in September 2015,…
Sunday 5: Let’s get physical

Friday 5: Questions created very quickly late Friday morning and answered on Saturday
Oh, Internet. It’s been a week. A week of nonbloggable crap. It’ll get blogged eventually, but not yet. It’s not my story to tell. Plus I think the country is 1970s-level of broken right now, and I think it’s going…
NJ Renaissance Faire and my first zipline!
This weekend, WM and I headed north to Liberty Lake Day Camp in Bordentown to attend our third New Jersey Renaissance Faire. If you live anywhere in NJ and have yet to visit the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, please go…
Murphy and Ollie update
The dogs are doing well. Murphy is almost 20 lbs, thanks to a safe, cozy house and all of rocks that he eats. Seriously, we fish rocks out of his mouth every day. He’s a chewer and a barker —…
Friday 5: Tiny gestures
Happy Friday! This is my first Summer Friday of the year! At TNP we can have every other Friday off during the summer as long as we make up the extra hours in advance. It is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. This morning I…
