Without Rosetta Stone access, it was an all-Pimsleur weekend, though I confess I did not get as much done as I would have liked. This afternoon Brandt and I went to the Boat Basin Café at 79th Street to watch…
Last night I slept very badly. I woke up repeatedly. The lack of sleep did not bode well for my productivity. Μπάλα (Ball) I started out the day rolling tennis balls underfoot (to stretch the muscles) and icing my…
Today was a rough day. I miss running so much, and going to my team’s workout last night, although a lot of fun in the moment, left me sad later. I just want to run. To help make that…

This morning I did not feel great when I woke up, I think because I got overheated yesterday. Sunday was extremely hot, and Brandt and I were outside in the sun at the annual gay pride parade. Parade and Parade…
