Melissa Auf der Maur’s “Taste You” has got to be the best song about a man losing an erection I’ve ever heard. I mean, who would have ever guessed you could make a good song out of that?
I wore my suit to Rich’s bachelor partay tonight. One thing I’m learning is that right after losing 50 pounds is probably a bad time to have one’s suit altered. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but then after I put 30 of it back on I’m left with a suit that doesn’t fit. Ooops. So I sucked it in and walked around looking skinnier than I deserve to.
But I gotta say, the light-colored shirt unbuttoned … Read the rest
I didn’t mean to, but I picked up a new trick in my run today. I started out thinking I’d run maybe a nice easy three miles. After all, I had not made it out on the road since Bay To Breakers last weekend. I ran the first mile in just over nine minutes. That’s pretty fast for me, so I decided to ease back but go a fourth mile. The second mile was 9:55 but I felt … Read the rest
Today I missed the streetcar and went down to the underground trains to try to catch up. The underground trains don’t go near my office, but they do go up Market and are faster than the “Historic F‑Line” streetcars, so I hoped I’d get up to Embarcadero before the streetcar I’d just missed.

My boss:Â the html and images are quite a drag
«Splicer» says:  LOL
«Splicer» says: Yes, if we didn’t have a website, it would load reaaaally fast
My boss: yep my thoughts exactly
«Splicer» says:  Of course, then the customers would have to guess what they were buying. We’d have to pioneer the use of TTTP

Sooooo, my new goal for next year is to make it not to the top 500, but rather into the top 10,000. This is do-able. A little bit disappointing, but I thought it was a little … Read the rest
My official time at Bay To Breakers was 1:58:40. I was the 1577th person across the finish line. This means I’ll be listed in the “Special Edition” of the Chronicle, and that I didn’t need to worry about it. I could have gone a lot slower and still been in the top 10,000.
Goal for next year: top 1,000?
I see #1014 in at 1:36… Read the rest
I think the official time will be just under two hours. I started my stopwatch when I crossed the starting line. The officials started their watches when I was about four blocks away from the starting line. hammerhead and I ran the whole way together, so his time is the same. It’s nice running with someone; I usually run by myself. The 7.5 miles went by really quickly. It was a ton of fun and checking out all … Read the rest

I’ve never actually run uphill before. Wish me luck!… Read the rest
Please tell me about how Richard Clarke is delusional or lying.
I’m serious. Because he’s made some pretty disturbing allegations, and I have no reason not to believe him. His book is pretty good, actually. I mean it’s a real page-turner. Blix’s book was kind of boring.
Here’s the thing. I don’t want to be a “Bush-hater” as nnnuts says. Really. I know just by reading the book I’ve painted myself as a Bush-hater, but I really and honestly want to … Read the rest
