I can’t seem to get used to the dark in Seattle. I was fine before I left, but after a month of 11 hour days in Hawaii I’m having a rough time getting my sleep back on schedule. I would have thought the extra dark hours would have me sleeping a ton, but instead I’m […]

I’m on a plane home right now. Uncle Bob asked a good question on the way to the airport this afternoon: "Why do you need to go home?" The obvious answers seemed to disappear under the weight of implications. School started Monday. I will be arriving home Tuesday night, and begging for forgiveness from my […]

Friday was a rush. After a long breakfast and some electronic geeking out at Bob’s place I went to the dentist, followed by a 2k open water swim, followed by a pit stop in Waikiki, straight to a track workout at U of Hawaii, another pit stop at Momentum Multisport, back to Bob’s for an […]

This morning started way too early for me.  2007 seemed to have more to offer than time to give it, and while many people are starting off the new year with hangovers and blurry memory, I’m lucky enough to be merely low on sleep from days of saying, "why not" to every opportunity that comes […]

Wednesday morning I slept in until 10, which is unheard of for me. It felt great until I finally got up and realized the mosquitos I was too tired to deal with the night before had left welts on both my cheeks.  I opted not to shave over the welts, and instead went for my […]

Sunday I Coach Mike left for Switzerland to visit his ex-wife and three kids. He was running around frantically trying to find Pegasus Barbie. With Mike gone, I’m now staying with the Havrilak’s.  Adam is a friend of mine that I got to know toward the end of my time in Honolulu and who I […]

I’m no longer sick. My infection is gone. My ankle is back to normal.  Everything is looking up.  Saturday I went with Coach Mike and Marion Summerer to take more photos for a coaching ad Mike is going to do.  The first round turned out nothing worth seeing.  The pictures I saw made Mike look […]

I Spent the last couple days hanging out with my friends Matt and Trish, who I share my bad sense of humor, fashion sense (lack of), and heightened involvement with our inner child (immaturity). It has been great fun. We went to the North Shore yesterday.  After a 40 minute run, and a two hour […]
