Earl Grey’s new trick
| December 7, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Earl Grey learned a new trick. I am not amused. My husband is not amused. If Farley cared one itty bitty iota about my sanity, she would be un-amused. (I can’t imagine ML being un-amused about anything so she doesn’t get to join this party). Apparently, not content with making me […] more
The third bad thing
| October 19, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I was promised bad things happen in threes. I was sorta hoping that my sister dying 4 months ago counted towards (1) MerryLegs internal pigeon fever fiasco, (2) Matt getting in an accident and wrecking one of the trucks….but NO. Apparently getting married breaks the cycle of bad things and the count starts over. Thus leaving me one tragic event […] more
CTR Mt. Diablo marathon 2014

Isn’t life a lot more fun when nothing goes to plan? As I’m driving down 680 (a bay area major high way or interstate or something) I had a blow out. Now, I often wonder as I plan my routes to various running events, “what if I get a flat tire?”. The obvious answer is […] more
Confessions of an enduranceamanic
| August 30, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Confession 1 I totally made up “enduranceamanic”. I know, you couldn’t tell because it was so elegant. But seriously, after looking at the long list of vocabulary for different passions/obsessions and finding the perfect word if the subject matter was weird/extravagant marriage proposals, cats (ailuromania), my own extreme intelligence (sophomania), words (verbomania), or wine (oenomania), […] more
Maybe it really is cursed

This morning I almost blew up my car. I don’t have a very good track record when it comes to mid 1990’s Corolla’s and major running events. For example, there was my very *first* marathon. And an unfortunate incident the day before, involving the sky blue corolla. Now, 10 years later, somehow not learning my […] more
Earl Gray’s story continues
| April 19, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
So. Update on Earl Gray. I drove to the Les Schwab to get my tire fixed yesterday afternoon, going 50-55 mph in traffic going 55mph in the slow lane of I-80 with my emergency blinkers on. A truck 3 lanes over was suprised by the slowness of the traffic (it was rush hour….) and procedured […] more
CC – Earl (Grey)
| April 18, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Earl Grey is a 1997 model with a rather “roan” metallic coat color. On a “ride” yesterday afternoon the owner noticed a distinct “Off-ness” in the right hind. She pulled onto the side of the road….errrr….trail……and evaluated. Poor Earl wasn’t going ANYWHERE. 3 legged lame. Diagnosis? (sorry – you don’t get to guess – check […] more
