Tarzan is a whimp

What better way to check out the rainforest than by swinging through the treetops!

Off to the races




Saturday my roomie and best mate George declared a "Guys Day". Rules are simple, no ladies and some activity to solidify our masculinity and promote silliness. Saturday was also the Kentucky derby and opening of the local horse track, Suffolk Downs. So it was off to the races! The track is like walking into a cartoon of stereo typical characters who's life story can easily be surmised from their animated faces. We commandeered some box seats and settled in for a day of placing small bets on inflated hopes. I picked my horses based on the character expressed in their walk. I don't recommend this method, net winnings 0. It was a great day regardless.

SLC Marathon



Last weekend I traveled home to Utah to run the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon with my little sister Amy. It was her idea to run the race together which was very surprising since she has never ran before. After months of training the day finally arrived and at 7am off we went. I promised to keep pace with her for encouragement and entertainment. Harnessing my natural instinct to race at a a lung exploding pace we crossed the finish line together in 2:17. Not bad for her first half marathon. The best part was the last quarter mile when we sprinted together and passed several hundred people to the cheers of thousands of spectators!

Boston pillow fight!


I know, I know. I have developed bad blog habits. Lets try and get back on track! I attended my second city wide pillow fight last weekend! Nothing better than bashing perfect strangers to resolve buried aggression. April 4th is international pillow fighting day, who knew. Lots of cities all over the world organize pillow fights. enough said. We lost a lot of good pillows out there..

IN YOUR FACE!!! book

At least once a week I have a variation of this conversation-“WHY AREN”T YOU ON FACEBOOK?”
I am a fierce anti-face booker. I have many reasons for this. The main reason is I prefer personal, private interactions. Also I don’t like the self idolizing or competitive nature of “collecting” friends that face book breeds in some. There are some people I don’t feel the need to keep up with, and moving away from people is very difficult with face book. These three reasons are the debatable points for my lack of participation. It is much simpler than this still. This blog is perhaps the most savvy thing I do with the interwebs. As a reader you will agree it’s not very savvy at all. Besides checking my e-mail, shopping on Amazon, and infrequently ranting here, my Mac book is basically a $2400 ipod. Don’t get me wrong, I am not condemning others for face booking. By all means tag, nudge, post to your electrical hearts desire. There may also be something meaningful in knowing when ones mild acquaintance from elementary school goes to the store, or returns overdue library books. Thanks to NPR’s Talk of the Nation I have discovered there are others unromanced by this idea of social networking. In an effort to create solidarity among us I am proposing a forum to chat and connect. This will be a place for likeminded, or interested people to find each other and support each other. You will be able to post pictures, tell personal stories and share all aspects of life. Just a way for the rest of us to keep in touch by the week, day or minute. I am calling it IN YOUR FACE! Book. For the sole purpose of accessibility and speed, I will publish it on the internet somewhere. I will keep you posted.
