I’m now a YouTube director
I just uploaded “In the Moment – Short Version” to YouTube for the teeming masses to enjoy. You can enjoy it, too, right here.

my shoes
These are the best athletic shoes I’ve ever bought: the New Balance M1222SG. I got them at the local New Balance store in Broomfield, where the salesperson took the time to get me just the right pair of shoes. They feel so good, and I’ve been able to run without knee pain for the first… Continue reading my shoes
