Usually I’ve been able to catch the last hour of sunlight on my after-work runs. Tonight, the sun dropped below the buildings on the far edge of my path as I started on my run. Since I wouldn’t be able to sneak in a long run, I figured I’d go for a [...]

Tomorrow is our “Bulky Trash Pick-up” day. I’m hoping to re-claim my garage.
