My Mom the [once a year] Runner

We’ve had an annual tradition (as in it’s happened more than once in a row) until this year. I go up to Medford, Oregon and run once a year with my mom in the Pear Blossom Run. Since we’ve been doing it (aka. since 2005) I’ve been running at least semi-regularly. My mom never runs, [...]

I’m an Alan Rickman Fanboy

I’m watching Galaxy Quest (on VHS, borrowed from the library, totally old school) for the third or fourth time with Janna, adding to the list of all of the movies I’ve ever watched (I’m up to 408 right now… wow, do I ever have too much free time) and am dubbing myself an Alan Rickman [...]

(In case you [...]

My favorite two paragraphs are on the bottom page 275:
Sure, ask any manager if they would prefer [...]

Pop-up Kiss

Just added a feature to my blog using the Lightbox image tool (by Lokesh Dhakar), integrated into Wordpress by m3nt0r. To try it out, click the image below, or (almost) any other image you see on my site.

My Girlfriend Loves Me

Conversation that takes place after I finish a 20 mile run.
Call Janna on her cell phone.
Jeremy: “Hi honey, I’m back at the park and done with my run.”
Janna: “Oh, I’m not there yet.”
Jeremy: “That’s okay, I need to get out of the sun so I’ll meet you at home. By the way, what did you [...]
