My foot hurts. A lot. It's been sore now for 2 weeks. The ball of my foot. At first I thought it was just a bruise. Now I doubt that. It's a foot though, and those get beat up generally, so maybe it just hasn't had a chance to really heal? (Heel? Eh? Eh?). Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 2 July 2013, Diet Only

WGOM Fitness: 24 June 2013, Bad Weekend For Fitness
Sounds from the comments on the most recent fitness post (a week ago... ugh.) that a few people (NBB, Corny) had good weekends for fitness. I decidedly did not. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 24 June 2013, Bad Weekend For Fitness
Father Knows Best: Father’s Day
It turns out I have the good fortune to write our Father Knows Best post the week after Father's Day. I wish I could say this was well-planned on my part, but, like most of my parenting, I just sort of stumbled into it. I wasn't entirely sure what to write about, but then my "kids" (Philosofette) wrote a whole bunch of post-it notes about the things I do for them and posted them all around our apartment. It made me feel pretty awesome. I'm going to use a couple of those notes to hit on some of the high points of my parenting. Since, you know... they're few and far between.

WGOM Fitness: 18 June 2013, Tennis
Last night I played tennis with a 15-year-old girl (my wife's cousin), and was beaten pretty soundly. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 18 June 2013, Tennis

WGOM Fitness: 4 June 2013, Color Run
I've fallen off the wagon a little bit. My weight has slowly crept back up over the past month. I'm still lower, but... it's not good. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 4 June 2013, Color Run
Vampire Weekend – Diane Young
And we'll end the week looking forward, with the song that I think will be one of the anthems of the summer.

I've liked Vampire Weekend just fine before, but wasn't all that impressed. They may have turned a corner here.
George Gershwin – Rhapsody In Blue
Remember back on Monday when I said my family originally bought 2 CD's? I lied. There were 3. The third was a collection of George Gershwin's music. So I guess we're moving back in time here. But my assessment today is the same as it's been from the start: I think this might be the perfect song.

The Specials – “Enjoy Yourself”
I was going to put up something about how the next phase of my life was law school, and that was basically the pain of being away from my loved ones (especially Philosofette, before we were married (third year of law school was much better!)), and maybe go with "Leaving On A Jet Plane." But I couldn't find a version of it I liked.
Instead I'm jumping ahead to my "discovering older music I never knew about" phase, which is really where I still am today. This also seems a fitting song for my birthday.
