Yes, I’ve reached that point in life where I’m drinking a cup of coffee while watching Steelers football.

I’ve been playing Fantasy Football in the same league, with the same folx, since 2012. The highest I’ve placed is 3rd. We had our draft last night and this is the first time in 13 seasons I’ve gotten an A+ grade. We’ll see how expectations and injuries pan out, but this could be my year. 🏈

We timed it perfectly and dodged the raindrops to bike into the city for lunch and a visit to the Museum of Illusions. It’s not really a museum, but a photo-op on steroids. Cool nonetheless!

We had our first significant rainfall in weeks overnight, so of course we ran the Rachel Carson Trail stream crossings this morning.

We saw a matinee of Its Never Over, Jeff Buckley this afternoon at the Harris Theater. I thought it was extremely well done and showcased how complicated, dynamic and talented Jeff was. Tears were shed. He is a legend.

Today we celebrate twenty one years of wedded bliss. Together for twenty eight. To honor the occasion of our marriage being old enough to drink, here is the first photo I ever posted of us on this site – from Halloween 2004.
She got me then, she gets me now. I do not deserve her.

A picture-perfect run down to the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge this morning. It’s our last morning here and I ended it on a high note. I’m glad I packed the Topo Mountain Racers because I logged plenty of beach miles this week.

First time in Wildwood Crest since I was a kid. I woke up early & got in a nice 10K — out to the north sea wall and back. It started raining as I reached the turn around point and I finished the run in a cool downpour.

We had a relaxing and restful family vacation last week in Southwest Florida. I managed to go the whole week without checking in on work or social feeds. As I reenter the real world this morning, I feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for a few intense work weeks coming down the pike.

We had an amazing night at Founder’s Field for Steel City FC vs. Pittsburgh Riveters. The state of women’s soccer here in Pittsburgh is strong! It was a great game — these ladies played with such intensity — and Adeline got the chance to see the action up close as a ball girl.
