I am trying really hard to get back into running. I love to run! Instead of being tempted by a Forerunner 305 or 405, I am using my Nokia N95 8GB in association with its GPS and Sports Tracker — and I love it!

If you want to see my mad attempt at a daily run/walk, please feel free to stalk me and my online workout. Weather for Arlington, VA, 22203: 35°F, Rain (Via Jockular). Continued reading >

Driving home from Pennsylvania
I don’t know why I am smiling in the photo. Maybe because I just looked too sad. Anyway, I am back in the DC area after spending a few days in central Pennsylvania with my business partner, CEO, and — above all — best friend, Mark, as he mourns the untimely and unexpected — startling — loss of his father, Rany Harrison. Egad. This photo was taken driving home to VA from Selinsgrove, PA.
