I got my brand new New Balance Cross Trainers in the mail today and they fit perfectly. These are the first sneakers I’ve had since I ruined my old ones on an awesome hike in Hawaii back in November. I’m going to test them out later this evening when I go for a run.
I can be cheerfully self-appreciative in various ways which amuse or annoy people depending upon who you are. But I try to balance that out by ocassionally admitting my gross stupidities and inadequacies as well. After all, fair is fair. Today, on the train ride home, I discovered what almost anyone who ever grew up…
I bought some Garmin mapping software for my new handheld GPS today, got it installed, and tested it out at lunch. I walked over to Pentegon Row to do some reading (I started in on In Memeory Yet Green yesterday) and as I walked overthere, I used the GPS to track my position, and also…

I’m here in Astoria. First Class on Acela was pretty nice. Free dinner and drinks! I divided my time between reading and listening to the iPod. Normally, I sit on the right side of the car heading up to NYC, but this time I decided to sit on the left side and the view is…
