So New: In Which I Make Adjustments + Ask for Help

Brad — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:44:05 +0000

The best laid plans of mice. I knew when I started out on my 90-in-90 Something New challenge that it wouldn’t be easy. For lots of reasons. The most obvious: I don’t live in Indianapolis so I can’t just walk out the door and do things. That means planning. I’ve spent the last few nights [...]

So New: In Which I Workout at 5:30 am (2 of 90)

Brad — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:37:18 +0000

I love athletics. And I love working out. I’ve never been one of those people who dreaded the gym or physical activity. Which isn’t to say I’ve always been diligent about it. But I am now. What I’ve never been good at has been working out in the morning. I could always find some reason [...]

So New: A Dinner in the City (1 of 90)

Brad — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:22:36 +0000

Every journey starts with a first step. Tonight that meant heading to the city for dinner. While I’ve been in Muncie for a year, I haven’t actually done anything in Indianapolis. Sure I’ve visited a bit here and there, but when I started to think about what I’ve done…I came up empty. So I had [...]

The Chronicles, Vol. 1: Something New, or a New 90-in-90

Brad — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 04:52:04 +0000

This little 90-in-90 meme has spread to places I never quite expected. Hardy a week goes by without someone emailing me, Tweeting me, stopping me in real life (e gads) or talking with me about some 90-in-90 challenge they’ve undertaken. I love hearing about what people are doing. (Aside: if you’re working on a challenge, [...]

The Chronicles, Vol. 1: Where I’ll Live Next

Brad — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:41:08 +0000

I’m early in this process, but I’ve been scouting around the Greater Indianapolis area to find the place that I’m going to live next. I love Muncie, but it’s simply not a place that I’ll find much of a social life. And the plan is to develop one of those. As part of my plan, [...]

Run Fatboy Run, a Tale of Addictions

Brad — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:32:13 +0000

My routine has been upended. This is neither a tale of woe nor sorrow although in the beginning it certainly sounds that way. Like everyone else on the planet, I’m prone to fits and bouts of depressive-ness. This is not one of those times. I started running at the end of April, 564.8 miles ago. [...]

The Chronicles, Vol. 1: Clearing Decks

Brad — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:58:43 +0000

The Invictus Writers will meet for the first time this Saturday, which means it’s time to clean my house after months of travel. Normally cleaning isn’t an issue. I like an orderly house. (Thanks mom.) But somehow this time it feels different. It feels like the beginning of the last cleaning. Not that I won’t [...]

In Which I Speak at TedxCincy, or the Brad@40 Plan, Part 1

Brad — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 03:43:22 +0000

The TED conference, for those involved in technology, is one of those signature events. Say what you will about it (and the criticisms are many, including those I have made myself), but the event routinely draws some of the most accomplished people in the world. I know because I use the videos from the main [...]

Dating Chronicles, Vol 1: “All things end badly. Otherwise they wouldn’t end.”

Brad — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:56:27 +0000

Anything else is always something better. It’s been one of those “life in order” weekends. Back from two months on the road. Dealing with nearly an entire wardrobe that no longer fits me thanks to The Year of Health. Which led to a complete re-organization of my house. That instigated a top-to-bottom cleaning (which in [...]

In Which I Re-Start, a Dating Tale

Brad — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 16:31:42 +0000

I know it’s only August, but it’s already been a long, interesting year. I’m amazed when people say that Time Flies. I don’t find that to be true (although I also say things like that from time to time so you can imagine the intense self loathing that happens here). At least I don’t find [...]
