I had a 90-min layover in Phoenix today. While walking around the airport killing time, I tried a new game – “see if you can pass the people who are on the moving sidewalk.” I didn’t do bad! As soon as everyone […]

I had planned to get back on the treadmill sometime yesterday. I really want to try mastering that thing. It was grey and chilly most of the day, and I didn’t have the right workout clothes for chilly weather, so it made […]
