My great nephew joined the Marines, and my dad was a Marine in Korea. On this day, my great-nephew would call him and spoke Marine to Marine not as a great-grandfather to great-grandson.

Really war? nice hit, but don't you remember the FOG's handing you your ass years ago. Silly Bomb Brothers.

I posted this earlier but it got better. At the Istanbul Marathon on Sunday, I set a new personal record time. It was 5:46 based on the gun time, but on the mat time, which adjusts for the time it takes from the starting gun until you reach the starting line, I did it in 5:39. This is about 13...

Happy Birthday

There were no miles on my birthday, but today, a day later, I ran the Istanbul Marathon. I got my best marathon time at 5:46. I smoked two cigars to celebrate, a Padron 45 and a Power Ranger. Editted to add: Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

A WOAM Temple of Poseidon in the background.

Just got back from vacation in Athens. The Acropolis is awesome. Smoked an Undercrown Flying Pig on our apartment's balcony and a few days a later, a WOAM outside the Temple of Poseidon. Greece is great. People were super friendly and prices were super cheap (compared to Switzerland, one of the...

My son and I made a chocolate milk stout and have a hazy IPA in the secondary to bottle this weekend. Next up is an oatmeal stout of sorts.

I had a conference in St. Louis one year and as I tend to do, reached out to CP members in the area. Larry picked me up at my hotel and took me to lunch with his local cigar smoking friends. I had a great time with them.

Happy Birthday to her. I ran the Vienna Half Marathon yesterday - good thing. I was supposed to be running the full marathon, but switch during the race - bad thing. Having enough sense to not hurt myself and still get a "Did Not Finish" result - good thing. Now to get into a different training...

Congrats. I will get your winnings out next week.

Let me know next time you are that close. It is about a 4 hour drive from Zurich.

We talked to a home inspector in Florida who found a massive shed python skin in the crawlspace. That was the end of looking in the crawlspace.

First I drank a Septima Malbec 2019, now working on Finca De La Vega Rioja 2015.

My dad was a roughneck, then a pipefitter. We would drive by plants on the Texas Gulf Coast with him saying, "I built part of that."

In his defense, I was so limpy from half-foot blisters on each foot and sore legs there would have been no way to know which was causing pain. I only checked it out because it didn't go away after a week of rest.

I fell during my race in Mississippi and thought I was just a bit banged up. The swelling didn't significantly go down after a week so I went the Dr. to get checked out. Luckily nothing is broken, but the muscles are hammered and I can't do any sport until it is healed. This forced me to back...
