This is the first post for my brand new blog. I didn't really want to have a blog but I thought I had to create one in order to see somebody else's. I guess I could have figured that out first. I selected the name The Wicked Messenger after an obscure Dylan song. It's available here . Maybe I'll never post again. I like the freedom to say that.

Running - First part of 2013

I've been running for a few years now, maybe 5 or 6 years. I can't remember for sure. Maybe closer to 7 years.

Anyway, we had us a great time and they stayed overnight in our basement. We went out for dinner to a BBQ joint called Urban BBQ which is pretty good. I've made better ribs though, true fact. As it happened we ended up eating quite late into the evening. Later on I gave my nephew Nick a Seiko I've been wanting to get rid of but not doing because it's only going to raise ~$80 or so and the hassle is too great. Here's a photo of that: Yeah, that is one orange mother but it's also got the oem bracelet to swap on which tones it down and I think Nick was pretty jazzed, specially when he saw the display back and stuff. So in the end ...
