March Picks
No NCAA Basketball bracket for me this year, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have any good picks this month. Skechers is making legitimately good running shoes these days. The original Go Runs are more comfortable than the Mizuno Elixirs that Mizuno stopped making as soon as I liked them. I’ll probably try out Skechers’ …
IT Band Fun
So I went a full year with no significant injuries from running, but after running the Maine Marathon in October 2013, I came down with an IT Band issue. If you’re a runner, you probably already know about Iliotibial band syndrome, but if you’re not a runner (or you’re an oblivious runner like me), IT Band …
Day at the New England Aquarium
Contrast the tranquility of the fish tank with the soundtrack:
Xmas 2013
Pictures are in the gallery. Here’s a video that includes hula hooping:
Great moments in backyard projects reminds you that…
One bat house can hold up to 100 bats. One bat can eat over 600 mosquitoes in an hour.
November Birthday Season!
November marks the end of the line for many turkeys, but it’s the fiesta season for Marblehead Moores as Abigail, Emily, AND Jackson all celebrate their birthdays in this poorly named month. Luckily, Emma’s birthday provided some cake-eating practice:
Jets are Cheaters AND Tattlers
Yep… in the same game the NFL refs gift wrapped for the pathetic Jets, the Jets ran the same basic play. See how the Jet pushes the other Jet into the line when the Patriots are kicking? Yep… that’s exactly what the refs called on the Pats… in overtime. Still nothing good out of New …
Leaf Pile
Mostly fun. Only a few tears! Here’s the frame where the leaf violence begins and a video follows.
2013 Maine Marathon
Completed first marathon (Maine Marathon) on October 6 in 3 hours 22 minutes. Beat realistic goal of 3:30, but fell short of reach goal of 3:15 needed to minimally qualify for Boston Marathon in my age group. Marathon Notes: Support was HUGE! If my family had not been along the route during the last six …
Dairy Predation
Much is happening in this series of nature photographs taken with the Nikon 3700 Ultra Z camera, a device more commonly used to capture the movement of hummingbird wings. Please note the Jackson’s unique style of consuming a cone from not one, not two, but apparently from three different sides. There’s little question now that …
Score one for the AppleTV and a few other quick hits…
I usually side with Roku when asked what additional set-top box to buy, since Roku allows the easy use of Amazon Prime Video, but the Teter cord-chewing (it’s not cutting if it ain’t cut!) project has unearthed the fact that Roku’s HBO Go channel does NOT work with XFinity, whereas AppleTV’s HBO Go option DOES …
2013 Chatham vacation in gifs…
Because animated gifs are the Web’s haiku:
