Photo by Jan Huber on Unsplash I forgot to eat last Tuesday. The whole day. I don’t usually do things like that. Left to my own devices, I usually pass on breakfast and maybe lunch, but I snack and eat a lot for dinner. The problem on Tuesday was that by the time dinner rolled…

I have been looking forward to this long weekend for a while now. Three whole days off and football on each one of them! It looks like we might actually get some rain here in Dallas, which we sorely need. I don’t have any big Labor Day plans except to do a lake loop in…

Ole Miss wide receivers from OleMissSports.com It wasn’t all that long ago that Ole Miss was a football team wandering the desert. We had lived through the embarrassment of Hugh Freeze’s behavior and stabilized under Matt Luke, who was tasked with doing the most with the least. His inconspicuous reign ended most conspicuously—with a player…

I’m done with landscapes. Who needs ‘em? All that natural beauty and soul-rending scenery is for chumps. I wanna take pictures of nondescript buildings in the dog days of summer. So I did. Being a runner and a photographer is a real struggle in time management. The times of day with the most alluring light…

All of these people ran for years before moving up to the marathon distance and some of them ran at the Olympics! Atlanta, 2020. I woke up at 5 AM on Saturday morning to go get my long run done with my running club. The men’s Olympic marathon had finished a mere two hours before…

I hope you all have enjoyed the Athletics component of the Olympics as much as I have this week. Gymnastics was really fun, but Athletics is always my favorite. A lot of events have gone chalk this week, but there have been some real upsets, many of which were to the benefit of Team USA.…

(Michael Steele/Getty Images) I’m sure you’re overjoyed to see another Substack writer talking about the Olympics. Stick with me! I promise this isn’t like all the other posts! I’m not going to preview events for you, I’m not going to tell you neat things about the gift bags that the athletes get or interview their…

On Tuesday, I was saying it felt like it should be Friday already. Now that it’s Friday1, I wonder where the week has gone. I was talking to my neighbors about that this evening and we agreed that the inability to keep steady time is probably a symptom of getting older. Every measure of time…
