Today my little bro turns 30. I think that’s got to be the sure sign that I’m no spring chicken myself. I still remember the day Pete was born. And the world hasn’t been safe since… from his kindness, his wit, his humor, and his charm.
This entry won’t be as in-depth as last year’s brother [...]

One thing’s for certain: There’s nothing like five months of a dreary and cold Northeast winter to make one really appreciate the sun (even if we didn’t get much snow this year). So when the temperature climbed to the low 60s yesterday, all I wanted to do was be outside.
Yesterday also happened to be my [...]

The best weekends are those when you’ve had everything to do, and you’ve done it all. Those are also the weekends that seem to last longer than two-and-a-half days.
This past weekend was one of those. Though we didn’t go out Friday night after work, Jen and I did stay in for our own fun little [...]

A big happy 29th birthday to my little bro, a gifted and hilarious writer, a wonderful friend, and an awesome brother to have!

The past year in brotherdom brought highlihgts such as the second annual Anderson Brothers Mustache Growing Contest, our first marathon together (we’re both training for our second together later this month), and a [...]

OK, so here we are the week before Memorial Day — the unofficial start to summer, albeit a week early this year — and it’s a chilly 38 freakin’ degrees. WTF? It’s 52 in my house this morning, which is colder than we set our heater at night in the winter (55). At least it’s [...]

From my Facebook status update that I posted a little while ago:
when did I reach a point in my life when running 16 miles could be preceded by the word(s) “only” or “cutting it short?” And that concludes a 58-mile week. Time for Star Trek IMAX tonight
It was a beautiful morning and parts of my [...]

Today has been the longest, most action-packed day I can remember in a long time, so I feel the need to blog about it.
Here’s a quick recap of everything I’ve done so far today:

Woke up at 5am
Ran 14 miles (in about 2 hours @ ~8:30/mile training pace)
Discovered a great new country road on second half [...]
