Without wanting to resort to too much hyperbole, Couch-to-5K is the single greatest thing in fitness that I’ve ever come across.  By keeping the week-to-week increases slow and manageable, the program is able to make it easy to get your running past [...]

Ooh! Something shiny!

One of the benefits of low readership is that I don’t feel a responsibility to write if I don’t feel like it or, as the case may be, if I get distracted by things that are more fun. Over the past couple months things have been a bit hectic and now that they’re beginning to [...]

Something of a milestone passed

The Beatles Remastered

by Lawrence 02.06.2010

Back in college I was a huge fan of The Beatles. In retrospect, I guess it kind of goes along with the territory along with weed and part-time jobs. After I graduated I pretty much stopped listening to them and only with the issue of the Remasters have I started listening to them again.

Hello There!

by Lawrence 02.05.2010

Thanks for reading the inaugural post at Signs of Sanity! This blog is sort of the bastard son of my previous blogging effort, which I accidentally blew up in a murderous WordPress experiment gone awry.  Some of the content I’ll publish here originally came from it, but there wasn’t much of a backlog saved so the [...]
