The trip report proper is over, but we’re not done yet – I’ve still got lots of thoughts, including food reviews and photos! You can see all the posts in this report here. Onward! My final restaurant review for this trip report was probably my favorite of the trip, edging out even our meal of California Grill for sheer enjoyment. We...

I noticed something very interesting last time Pat and I went to Assateague Island: there is a running path. And so when Pat suggested another pilgrimage last weekend, I was bound and determined to go for a run on it. In case you’d like to take a crack at this somewhat unique experience yourself, here are some notes: ABOUT...

Sunday | ran 9.2 miles outside in 1:40 Monday | walked 2.1 miles outside in 35 minutes; 50 minute Horton jazz dance class Made me sore again. Good stuff. Tuesday | ran 7.44 miles...

And now for another story about how booking a WDW resort room can be unnecessarily confusing. But we persevere. A WDW RESORT DISCOUNT CODE (BUT NOT FOR ME) A couple weeks ago I scored the big one: an email from Disney containing a unique offer code that would net me a discount on Walt Disney World resort rooms. Sweet!...

There are a million new things coming to Disney parks – resorts, rides, full lands, new forms of transport, the works. This is not a post about anything new. It is about something old. Something very, very old. Who mourns the Universe of Energy? The UoE is...

Hellllo again! I am back from the beach. I ran. I read. I didn’t get bitten by bedbugs, although Pat thinks maybe he was? We’re still parsing that out. It was a good time, anyway. Hang on for a two-week workout recap! Sunday, July 2 | ran 7.29 miles outside in 1:20 Monday, July 3 | walked 2.13 miles...

Hey! Wanna hear something neat? As of Saturday, this blog is four years old! Dang. Wanna hear something else neat? I’m at the beach this week! So rather than a full blog post, I invite you to sit in silence for a minute or two and ponder what Fairest Run of All means to you, on this, its birthday....

This meme addresses a trivial issue that actually really bothers me for some reason. If you’re going to match me with a princess, do it by personality, not by weird and highly unlikely coincidence! But then maybe I’m just upset that I’ve never saved China. It’s so hard to really know yourself, you guys. Don’t forget, you can follow FRoA...
