Zombies! Run!
Yeah, so, I hate running. I loathe it. It’s not just that I suck at it and don’t have the patience or willpower to get better. It’s the crushing boredom, the annoying brain loops I get stuck on (counting things, obsessing over cracks in the pavement, breathing beats, etc), everything dull and crushingly awful about it.
I might have found a solution: an iOS app called Zombies! Run! that turns your run into a retrieval sort of RPG game wherein you inevitably get chased by zombies. I haven’t tried it yet, and I may still hate running, but provided it doesn’t rain tomorrow, I may give it a shot.

Appreciating Brussles Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts have slowly become a favorite — if not the favorite — vegetable in our house. It was Luke’s amazing cooking that started the obsession. He even got Kev the Manc to admit he liked ‘em. Now they’re a weekly addition to the grocery list. And more and more, it seems restaurants and home cooks alike are jumping on board the Brussels Sprout Bandwagon.
