Double-wide workout log since I skipped last week. Let’s leap right in! Sunday, December 17 | ran 11.08 miles outside in 1:50 I know I’ve said exactly this before, but: either I’m getting faster or my GPS watch is broken. The fact that it’s freezing outside probably helps… Monday, December 18 | walked 2.46 miles outside in 40 minutes;...

Annnd we’re back. It’s a new year, and so of course my thoughts immediately turn to the WDW Marathon, the sole remaining thing I look forward to in life. Because once Christmas is over WINTER IS TRASH. Oh, shoot; my first post of the year and I’m already off topic. What I meant to talk about is: Christmas presents!...

And now – The Nightmare Before Christmas in Walt Disney World! What’s this? What’s this? There’s color everywhere What’s this? There’s white things in the air What’s this? I can’t believe my eyes, I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn’t fair What’s this? What’s this? What’s this? There’s something very wrong What’s this? There’re people singing songs What’s...

Becky from Disney In Your Day challenged me to figure out which five characters I would invite to a Disney Christmas dinner party, so I’m going to start with that because it’s more interesting and festive than anything else I have to say at this time, trust me. This is an unexpectedly difficult question and I had to do some pondering...

Pat is not a runner. Case in point, consider the following exchange: ME: The Star Wars – Dark Side 5K is still open. Would you like to – PAT: No. ME: I would run it with you – PAT: No. So there’s that. I mean, he’ll run a mile or two for conditioning purposes, but it’s not his thing...

“Alan Tudyk is a national treasure,” my friend Bob posted to social media the other day. “You really must see Moana,” I replied. And then Bob sent me this. JUST LIKE I SAID. This is my Christmas present to you all. Watch it when your mother is driving you nuts. Watch it instead of punching your brother in the...

I know – everyone’s doing it. But how can you not? Last November, I did not set foot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Not once. Why bother? Rock ‘n Roller Coaster was done, I had no companion goading me into Tower of Terror, and the Great Movie Ride and Star Tours, while fun, are hardly enough to lure me alone....

I always like doing the December Happy Friday post (which is a monthly post of something to make you happy and that’s all!); there are invariably a ton of choices. This year I pondered the possibilities: another wonky Mickey’s Twelve Days of Christmas video? Park background music? Maybe go straight off the rails and share Eddie Izzard’s bit about the...

It’s CHRISTMASTIME! I firmly believe the Christmas season begins on November 1, but as this statement often draws jeers from the crowd I wait for Black Friday like all the boring people to begin celebrating. Well, we have arrived – and we have a Christmas tree! I may or may not have jumped up and down a bit while...
