North Dakota doing something…

Did ANYONE see the story that was up briefly on Fox News about the North Dakota House giving fertilized eggs human status? I did, but it was up only very briefly and then disappeared. You can search for it and find it now, but it’s definitely not on the frontpage anymore. In fact, I can…

Running

So, I ran a 5k this past weekend. It was miserable… windy and hilly all at the beginning, but I finished in 29 minutes 33.81 seconds. I figure that’s a 9.5 minute mile. Pretty okay for a beginner. Right? Sure. Next up: Shamrock Shuffle 3k followed by the KY Derby Festival miniMarathon!

Post-Inauguration Talk

So I did get to watch the inauguration yesterday. The office ordered in subs and we worked and watched (sat around and watched, really). I hope the guy does great things. I’m not in line with a lot of his positions, but I would be hard pressed to find a politician with whom I was….

Finally!

Fringe

I don’t know how many of you are into fringe science, but this article is pretty interesting. Finding time to post is somewhat difficult lately, so I’ll have to leave the comments and thoughts until later, but go ahead and have a read. Here’s an excerpt: “And spontaneous combustion. That’s true, too, apparently, albeit in…

Rollin’ With Some Good Company

Yep. We finally replaced the Saturn Vue. If you weren’t aware, I totaled it and we finally got the check from insurance yesterday. Yesterday was also technically the last day we got the loaner, although I finagled a couple more days out of the other person’s insurance. Won’t need it, though, as we bought one…
