Local surprise…

As I was shopping for new year’s eve goodies, I found turkish coffee in my local supermarket:

Now I can make coffee in my wife’s ibruk when I’m looking for a change of pace.
The store had another brand of coffee that had cardamon pre-mixed in the coffee. I had coffee at an Afghani restaurant [...]


This year’s run

According to <a href=http://www.coolrunning.com/cgi-bin/log/display.cgi?u=kweiske;s=running>coolrunning.com’s running log</a>, I ran 288 miles this year, at a pace of 10:16/mile.

I was hoping to get a run in today, but I’m thinking I might be better off resting [...]


Where did I go?

After a fairly monotonous couple of months, things picked up greatly this week. My sister had a huge 40th birthday party, we played tour guide for houseguests from out of town. Then, I was swamped with work - a client of mine moved their office yesterday, and I’m proud to say there were no serious [...]
