As y’all know, sometimes I write about CrossFit, and I try to make it a story, not just a recap of my workout, but for people who don’t do CrossFit—I don’t know—it could be boring. At the same time, folks who are interested in reading about CrossFit
Athletic Yet Kinda Smushy in Most Places
Here’s the thing: I’ve seen a few guys on Match that I thought were… I don’t know, interesting? reasonably attractive? legit prospects? And then I scroll down to their preferences: And I’m not slender. I’m not about average. One could argue that I’m athletic, but fuck if
Retrobruxist Friday 5/17/13, or Him’s a Her
Three years ago, I divulged that I’m a major weenie when it comes to medical procedures. My public inner monologue about sperm donation started two years ago. If you attended the Monti GrandSLAM last month, you got an update. Stay tuned for more on that topic. A year ago,
Dinner with Dad
Dad gets antsy in the evening. “I suppose we ought to go for a drive,” he says. He has traipsed around Durham earlier in the day, so we head to Chapel Hill. Neither of us is hungry yet. We park and stroll down Franklin. Watch people. Look
Retrobruxist Friday 5/10/13: Veins, Mowers, & Feelings
I’m genetically a whole lot like my mama. Growing up, everyone always said, “You look just like her!” (which was nice because she’s a good-lookin’ lady). I’d pick up the phone, and they’d start asking about Lamaze classes or some Boone UU function, assuming they had my
I Don’t Want to Say It’s Not Going Well, But It’s Not Going Well
An update on ALDCGIDSLCAMF: Mostly it’s just boring prospects like goodchilde [all handles have been changed by the Avid Bruxist, as per uzh], whose last read was Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins. (He gave it 5 stars.) Or mlc1973 who enjoys “simple things like meals out, day
This Post Is Not Really About Teaching; It’s About My Usual Shit
In my professional life, I’m graded on a rubric. Did you know that? There are six standards upon which teachers are evaluated, and for each we are deemed Developing, Proficient, Accomplished, or Distinguished. A couple weeks ago, I was out with some friends, one of whom is
Retrovloggy Friday 5/3/13
Three years ago, my students did a good job of summing up what would happen if you did/did not show your friends you care. Listen, I want you guys to be filled with hope, backed up in fights, and invited to birthday parties four months in advance,
It Happened
And I felt all right, you know. They’re Calvin Klein (thus reasonable quality, I guess? I don’t know these things) and made of stretchy fabric, so they’re comfortable. And the way they felt, the way they fit, I kind of found myself strutting around like Sandy at
Axilla the Hun
A couple years ago, I shared with you my secret magic antiperspirant, which I admitted was probably giving me Alzheimer’s. Well, I re-upped a few months ago, and it smelled stronger. I wondered if they changed the formula. I think so. There seems to be another side effect now.
