Another birthday approaches. One more trip around the sun, another year in the history books, one step closer to the grave, whatever you prefer to call it … at the end of September I’ll be marking it. I’ve had some time to reflect on the previous year, the highs and lows, sometimes both at the same time. There’s not much else to say about things, so I’ll just get right into the retrospective.
After a pretty good start after my last birthday, how could I have known that just two months l
I’ve started and reworked this post quite a few times over the past few days, and I doubt I’ll ever be happy with it, so I’m going to go with this revision and be done with it.

It won't be a fun story, but I can only hope it will serve as some form of an explanation into the inner workings of this freight-haulin' little pony (as I've chosen to represent myself on this forum).
First, a little bit about myself in general: I don't have much luck w
The only thing that I dislike about holidays in general is the way they muck up my schedule. This current one will be no exception.
Now, normally, because the holiday falls on a Monday, I would not have to run Sunday night, instead running Monday night and finishing out the week. I am not in the mood to deal with the returning vacationers on Monday night, so I had thought I could do my run during the day Sunday and then have the whole holiday to be at home. Up until this morning, that w
