A bit about myself. Obviously not as bright as you are. Everything on BlueSky is off the record.

Upstate NY.

I never thought they’d take the potato.

Happy Halloween!

🎶I’m just K-ned. The ghosts you know are largely dead. Sing a song to them instead. Wow! I have a large head.🎶

Happy Halloween from the Mojo Dojo Casa House & home of LCM. May your treats be sweet, your tricks be fun, & may your pop culture references be more contemporary than mine.

I voted yesterday. I ran on Rt 142 in the Town of Brunswick, New York. Cars are going very fast and there was no shoulder. It goes about saying that there were not sidewalks. However, that was the early voting location in my town. Not pedestrian accessible.

New Yorkers! Runners! I’m not telling you how to vote. I am telling you to vote. (Or not. You can do what you want.)But for members of the running community, local elections matter. Pedestrian infrastructure is almost entirely controlled by local offices.

It was sunny & warmish 45 minutes earlier. I love how weird and mercurial upstate New York weather is.

Sincerely, all I want is that pedestrians are considered when infrastructure is worked upon. #UpstateNY #EnjoyTroy

Chilly run this morning. 37° at the start. @joeposnanski.com & @mollyknight.bsky.social talking baseball (the live #PosCasts tremendous, SWIDT) were in my ears. Fun 7.5 km.

Me too! The Lark Hall Show?

I am 51. Yesterday I ran my first sub 60 minute 10K since 1992 when I was just 17 (if you know what I mean). We even stopped twice to answer the call of nature (once each), giving me the opportunity to take a selfie.

I’m a little proud of myself.

Friends in and around upstate New York, after you complete the Mohawk Hudson Marathon, I suggest you head to the speckled pig brewery in Ballston Spa for an excellent fundraiser for the #NationalBottleMuseum.

Good luck to everyone doing the hard things this weekend!

I debated whether or not to get a heater for the greenhouse or just bring the six planters that I want to overwinter inside the house. I brought them inside the house last night and I’m glad because the greenhouse is frosted over this morning. #UpstateNY

I have a solution to “male loneliness”.

My “med bed” makes my life better. It is a miracle of science.

I’ve been experimenting with analog horror and trying to get the creepiness just right. I am more happy than I am irritated by this.

This is the Vic Christopher they decided to quote.

I took sometime this morning to get the greenhouse organized for the autumn and winter. The plants that are still in there are going to come into the house to overwinter. I get multiple seasons out of my peppers and herbs.

It is all about maintaining perspective.

I went running the other day along the Hudson River on a path between Green Island and Van Schaick Island. The trail is on on 19th century railroad track. It was new to me. What I really loved was hearing the very distinctive cry of a red tail hawk while running.

Good run today. Beautiful day. #EnjoyTroy

Some of the nicest runs I have had in New York have been in & around Flushing Meadows Corona Park. I also dislike the culture around tennis.

A friend painted this for me. It’s called “love will tear us apart”. I think it’s fabulous. It is hanging in my living room in a place of honor.

Out the door and doing four easy miles before 7 AM. Quick KB workout. Made breakfast for everyone, including the dog. Walked George. Resistance progression on the bike for 30 minutes. Made some calls. Sent some emails. Did some reading.

Also, my friends are the best. We had a good time. I like spending Sunday mornings with old friends running and talking.
