Once again, it’s all behind me. I can’t believe I have to wait another year to run the Walt Disney World Marathon. A year! A WHOLE YEAR!

Hello. I am cold. It’s been a rainy, blustery, disgusting November, and I just want everyone who claims to love fall that you are WRONG. WRONG!!!

Hi. I just got back from Walt Disney World. I am not happy. Not that I’m being melodramatic about it or anything. But I am happy about my newest WDW memories, which are by and large magnificent and include some truly marvelous miles. Trip report forthcoming, of course! And at least I can comfort myself with the knowledge that in a...
