I sort of look at this Memorial Day as the one year anniversary of TBAP (though the actual date is a little sooner in May). It’s been an off and on relationship [and I'm not willing to muse long on it now] but I think it has been a blessing, and I haven’t even begun [...]

If you are a runner, you are prone to get bad knees.
If you walk, you’re much more liable to get hit by a car than if you’re at home flipping channels.
