I traded my trusty rusty 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 for a 2004 Lexus RX330 when we had the boy. (I got a really, really good deal on the Lexus at Jim Falk Lexus of Beverly Hills.) A few weeks ago we topped 90,000 miles on it and I knew it was time for a new… Read more »

Long Hard Times to Come
I just finished a 7.01 mi run with a pace of 9’38″/mi with Nike+ Running. go.nike.com/07v99rq #nikeplus — David Vincent Gagne (@davidgagne) October 18, 2012 That was my longest run in quite some time. I was wrecked by the time I finished; I was really pushing myself the whole time. Just for the heck of… Read more »
Somewhere Across Forever
I managed to hit my new goal of 3500 Nike Fuel points on Sunday, so I feel pretty good about that. (I did the P90X Shoulders & Arms workout in the middle of the afternoon.) After an early dinner at Lakeside Golf Club, my wife and I watched this week’s Saturday Night Live, part three… Read more »
Counting Down the Hours
I just finished a 6.08 mi run with a pace of 10’00″/mi with Nike+ Running. go.nike.com/1jdudh4 #nikeplus — David Vincent Gagne (@davidgagne) October 11, 2012 Clearly I need to write more here to avoid this turning into simply a log of my running. It was chilly and misty at six o’clock this morning when I… Read more »
Never Going Back to New Jersey
I just finished a 5.85 mi run with a pace of 9’43″/mi with Nike+ Running. go.nike.com/067cauf2 #nikeplus — David Vincent Gagne (@davidgagne) October 9, 2012 I had a good run this morning. I added a few detours to stretch it a bit. I think on my next trip I’ll add another loop so I hit… Read more »
Death and All of His Friends
I just finished a 5.47 mi run with a pace of 10’00″/mi with Nike+ Running. go.nike.com/08ao1745 #nikeplus — David Vincent Gagne (@davidgagne) October 5, 2012 About a tenth of a mile after the five mile mark, I tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and went flying. I was able to break my fall with… Read more »
Hate
I have a friend who always snaps at anyone who dramatically uses the word “hate”. If someone says, “I hate the layout of this website,” or, “I hate getting stuck at this traffic light,” he will respond, “No. You don’t.” “You don’t hate this layout. You hate cancer. You hate communism.” He’s right, of course…. Read more »
My Contacts
For over a year now I’ve had a problem with my contacts on my iPhone. It’s a very strange bug. I get a phone call and if I save the contact to my address book, it appears in my phone correctly under the “recent calls” list, but not in the Contacts app. And it never… Read more »
Death and All of His Friends
I went on a five mile run this morning. It was awful. I just finished a 5.35 mi run with a pace of 9’58″/mi with Nike+ Running. go.nike.com/0v9ag35 #nikeplus — David Vincent Gagne (@davidgagne) August 17, 2012 I just can’t believe that my mom is dead. It’s the worst feeling ever, really. Here are the… Read more »
Dealing
My tolerance for stupidity, ignorance, and imbeciles is jaw-droppingly lower before about ten o’clock in the morning, which means dealing with my mother’s health care on the East coast from the West coast has been just awful. By about noon every day for the last six months or so I’ve been feeling really, really stabby…. Read more »
