    Identity Crisis

    I’ve been having an identity crisis of late.  Maybe it’s a midlife crisis or an existential crisis.  Maybe it’s not a crisis at all.  Maybe I’m just trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life and why.  My last post I wrote about running 16+ miles on the trails at the site of the…

    Training Day

    I have been training – or at least acting like I’m training – to run the North Fork 50 mile trail race on June 4. Part of that training was running the Desert Rats Trail Running Festival – you can read about that on my previous post. I made arrangements to participate in a training run…

    Clark Kent

    It is busy season in my world – aka tax season.  In my Clark Kent life, I am a tax accountant and tis the season for busy days and working weekends.  Endless chatter of itemized deductions,  the Affordable Care Act, tangible property regulations, capital gains and estimated tax payments can make even the most seasoned partner…

    Ultra Ordinary

    As the mother of 4 children I have often had discussions given lectures about being safe and smart while surfing the world wide web.  I’m not dumb enough to think that my kids haven’t looked up all kinds of shit they shouldn’t be looking at  – or things that I would prefer that they weren’t looking at.…
