It’s GO time!
So, as I mentioned back last post, I have been practicing for an upcoming triathlon. As the date got closer and closer, I got a bit nervous about the event. I did my practice triathlon on Tuesday, and completing that did give me a fair bit of confidence that I could do it, but still,…

Practice triathlon
With the date of my triathlon coming up (this Saturday!) I have been wanting to run a practice one for quite some time. Various circumstances have conspired against me, but last night I was finally able to get it done. Since it was kind of late, I opted for the fully indoor practice version. I…

For your convenience
I have a post started with some trip details, but in the meantime, here’s a little rant for you: I am getting a little sick of people (mostly businesses) asking me to do things “for [my] convenience” when they really mean for their own convenience. This morning as I checked out of the hotel, the…

Meijer trip
So Meijer has a deal going on this week where if you buy $15 of participating General Mills products, you get a coupon for $10 off your next shopping order. The $15 is before coupons, so it’s really not that difficult to get your bill under $10, qualifying it as a moneymaker. So I’m there…

Dan’s first law of the Internet
Dan’s first law of the Internet says: “No matter how much you like something, there’s someone out there that likes it more, and already has a website about it” This is a law that I have had for quite some time, but I was reminded of it by this comic by the good folks at…

Stop the madness!
So this week is March Madness. And I really don’t care!! Yesterday was Selection Sunday, the day that they announce who is going to play where and when and all that. In past years, I have sat down in front of the TV watching this eagerly, usually with pen and paper in hand. So this…
