I had a plan. Really, I had a plan for this week, next week, and the week after. My schedule changed, so here we are. First, this week will be a warm-up for The Run to Breakfast. If you’re running 20+ miles next week, most people would be looking for 9-12 this week. That makes ...

Worst. Weekend. Evar. Just when we are starting to get some real daytime, an antiquated, unscientific ritual that causes insane distress comes and snatches it away.   You know what I'm talking about. The dreaded Spring Forward. Here are some Pros and Cons so you can decide for yourself, but we all know  it's a tool ...

In Like a Lion… I can’t believe it’s already March. Wind, snow, warm days, cold snaps. Even though the days are growing longer, remember that in short order, we’re going to lose an hour of glorious morning light. The roads are getting even more clear, as the snow and ice slowly subside. Good times.   ...

This is always a hard time for the club. Mid-sized snowstorms are generally not cleared aggressively, making the roads narrow. Drivers, many ...

I love the snow, but… The roads are getting dangerous. In typical North Andover fashion, the roads are getting skinny, being crowded with under-plowed snow. Now, you know I love the snow. Huge storms dumping tons of white joy make me smile all day long. Sometimes, it gets cold enough that the joy seems to ...

Look! A Challenge! So I guess tomorrow is the anniversary of the first attempted train robbery by the notorious Dalton Gang. I’m not a fan of criminals. The Rule of Law is important to a Constitutional Republic. When that fails, the Republic is soon to fall as well. Thus, we should do our part to ...
