Day 5 of NBM: Cinco de Biko
Yeah, yeah, I know it’s Cinco de Mayo today, and not Day of the Dead. But Day of the Dead iconography is much more interesting, and also November 1 is so far away. More importantly, Day 5 marks the first day of National Bike Month I haven’t been able to ride my bike. I was […]
10.5: 5 Bodyweight Exercises
Do you wish you could get some strength-building advice from a guy with a Biblical-era facial hair style and eyes that seem to see deep, deep into your soul, or possibly just to the back of your skull, which is equally creepy? Then check out this video, because it is all that and more. Note: […]
Day 5: Whole30 (“GOD BLESS”)
As I mentioned yesterday, research indicates that the average craving will pass within 3 to 5 minutes, but research doesn’t give any stats for when your daughter is sitting next to you eating a bowl of cake balls she made last night. I do feel somewhat shielded from temptation by the 5 days of sugar […]
Dave Brubeck Took 5, Helped End Cold War
A year ago today Dave Brubeck died. In reading about his life—his disabilities, setbacks, missteps—it became clear that all the events in his life led him to the creation of the jazz masterpieces, which flowed from his collaboration with like-minded musicians, and potentially changed the course of human history.

Most of the Billfold articles are brief and easily digested; this posts in this series look more like legal documents, but take a […]
5.5: Rookie Tri Race Report
The 10th annual Rookie Triathlon (a nice, short season opener) was this morning and it was full of challenges, rewards, and lessons. I’ll enumerate some of the lessons learned here. First of all, I was so glad that I’d done a dry run of the bike course last week, because I took a different route to […]
5 Things
Here’s something fun I want to explore: Five Things. On a Wednesday every other month, we go to Cheer Up Charlie’s on East 6th St. in Austin, Texas to hear five writers take five minutes each to read an original work based on a central theme. And then maybe a sandwich after. Admission is free […]
3.5.13: Eek, 2 Months
I’ve just realized that my first triathlon of the season, the Rookie, is 2 months from today. And I haven’t been in the water since July. Haven’t been biking much either (except for riding my zippy road bike to work) since I began training with Rogue Running in January—I can’t remember the last time I […]
