Doctor Who enthusiast. Fair to middling gardener. Running is my midlife crisis.
It’s official. I need three more days inserted into the calendar between now and Christmas. Can somebody please work that for me?🙏🏻

To the King’s Theatre, where we saw “Midsummer’s Night’s Dream,” which I had never seen before, nor shall ever again, for it is the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life. I saw, I confess, some good dancing and some handsome women, which was all my pleasure.

It’s been a year since Hurricane Helene. Here’s a video that United Methodist News put together covering an Emergency Response Team I was a part of in Nov 2024 in Spruce Pine, NC.

After reviewing my training plan, I realized I only have to run six miles tomorrow morning rather than the seven I’d thought This I making me unreasonably, giddily happy. #MarathonTraining

Please help support me as I start training for my first marathon! I would appreciate any donations you can provide to the Organization for Autism Research, which is a charity that means a lot to me.

Due to hectic family life I’m usually several weeks behind on any given series of #DoctorWho. Today I got spoiled on the season finale. Not by social media or news feeds, but by a well meaning co-worker who isn’t even a fan themselves, but knew I am and just wanted to make friendly chit-chat. *sigh*

If you bring me a mint condition book to sign I will happily do it and chat with you and we'll have a very nice time. If you bring me a jacked up copy with coffee stains, water damage, and dogeared pages I will embrace you like family cause that mean that book was a companion in your life

Late night 9 mile run. The end of year kids activities are blowing up the usual schedule and claiming all the weekends so I’m just carving out running time where I can. I figured this was my best chance to get a long run in this week.

I had a great race this morning at the #ActiveForAutism5K in Alexandria, VA. It was a really well organized event for a great cause. And I won my age group! @RUNFORAUTISM
