Something on the calendar 29 Jul 2013 | 08:39 am
My comprehensive exams are less than a month away now. Even though I feel relatively not-doomed, there’s still a chance I won’t pass. Otherwise there wouldn’t be an exam step, they’d just tell me I’m ...
Bike riding and high fiving on America’s birthday 6 Jul 2013 | 04:29 am
Recall I said yes to riding the mountain bike race with Maia last week, with no small amount of hesitation (I had known about it for 2 months). Eh, what could it hurt. I headed down to Breckenridge on...

The other day I nearly rationalized a move from the foothills back into central Boulder with “I’d be closer to things.” As in, socializing. Restaurants and bars, if you will. (Close to the bars seems ...
I know two Nathans. 27 May 2013 | 07:06 am
I know two Nathans. (And some choice Daniels and Nathaniels.) These two Nathans are both tall married athletes living in the Bay Area. Last Saturday on Mount Diablo I was talking to Martina about her ...
Momentum 23 May 2013 | 11:15 am
It can be pretty hard to get going again once momentum is lost. It’s uphill for forever. There are rocks for forever, that shim under the right cleat makes it so impossible to clip in… Just walk the b...
And now I am updating it. 26 Mar 2013 | 11:57 pm
