John Mulaney… Isn’t That Funny?
On the five hour drive home from Pittsburgh, Meghan and I listened to three straight stand up sets by John Mulaney. Then, on Monday we watched his most recent Netflix Special. My exposure to Mulaney has been limited. I know who he is, I know he had some drug issues a...
Last Running Post (for now) – Pittsburgh Half 2023
Yesterday I raced the Pittsburgh Half Marathon. The last half marathon I raced was the the Philly Half in 2019 and recapped it in this post. At the time, running sucked and I finished in 80:40. Four years later and running has done a 180. Pittsburgh was the cherry on...
American vs German

Kindle – Book Suggestions & Review
For Christmas 2022, Meghan's parents very generously gifted me a Kindle. At the same time, I'd just purchased a 150 page book. I didn't want to crack open the Kindle until I finished the book. It took me nearly four months, but I am now finished the 150 page book. I'm...
Social Commentary
Bud Light "Low Level" Staffers Mastermind Campaign Not sure I'm buying this one, but they are back tracking on their political stance, and thinking it may have not been wise to feature a boy turned girl to market to red necks and frat boys. Smart for business...bad...
