Portland

Posted on August 27, 2013 by If It Was Today

Serendipity

Posted on August 26, 2013 by If It Was Today

Day three began with a morning run going nowhere in particular, but taking us past a school play structure that looked like something out of a fairy tale. Log forts, turrets, spiral slides, and all manner of things that would … Continue reading →

Trial By GPS

Posted on August 25, 2013 by If It Was Today

Is This A Joke?

Posted on July 12, 2013 by If It Was Today

Imagine the scene. A teddy bear was sitting at the bar minding his business, when a pirate burst through the door. Two pirates actually, but who’s counting? He played it cool, nursing his drink and acting like everything was normal. … Continue reading →

A Slight Exaggeration

Posted on July 9, 2013 by If It Was Today
