This might be just what I need to get me to lace up my shoes again. Thank you for the rec!
sunnynsassy:

If you are a runner, you need to read this book. If you are friends with a runner, buy them the book. If you just appreciate a really kick ass athletic endeavor, you too should be reading this book. Seriously. Someone recommended this to me a few months ago and I smiled, thanked them for the reco and put it on my “to read” list, but wasn’t in a hurry. I’ve read Running with the Buffaloes at least 50 times, and someday hope to execute the amazing quarters workout of Once a Runner. Surely nothing else was going to make the ranks of running books I cannot put down, right? This book though… So good. It won’t just inspire you, it may change the way you run. :)

oooh, sounds like good holiday reading…… Santa? Are you listening?

First place: “One night after a long day of campaigning, when the haters had made my spirits reach a nadir, I looked into Todd’s eyes, which were as blue as the stripes on Old Glory, and too representing truth and loyalty, and he looked back at me with a twinkle of determination which I hadn’t seen since I told him my goal of having another baby in my fifties and naming it Tron, then did I know for sure that I could carry on, like he, and we, have done together all of these years on this long, Iron Dog race of a marriage that is at once grueling and celestial, onerous and majestic.”

—Ann Sensenbrenner

It is somewhat embarrassing, but I’m gonna be honest. Yes, we watched this movie tonight, on TV… with all the adds….. yes Whit and Kev are truly terrible actors…… but YES we sang our hearts out….. what a flashback to 1992.

Home-made pizza, glasses of cab sav….. quality night in for the husb and wife team.

zachklein:

The Dutch Christmas mythology is so completely bonkers! Instead of reindeer, Sinterklaas (Santa Claus) has a companion named Zwarte Piet (Black Pete).

Children are told that if they have been good, Zwarte Piet will bring them gifts and sweets, but if they have been bad, Piet will scoop them up, stuff them in his huge dufflebag and spirit them away to Spain as punishment!

(via Zwarte Piet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Ah those crazy Dutchies!

michaelgreen:

Well worth a read.

“…fossil fuel industries have employed “experts” to lie, cheat and manipulate on their behalf. The revelations in their book are 100 times graver than anything contained in these emails.”

…but these emails need to be addressed.
