Looking back at this week last year is a bit late this weekend, due completely to the fact that I have a really bad infection in my right index finger and up until today it was too painful to bother typing anything. I’ve managed to drain a lot of the crud out, though, so I…
Since my right index finger is about 3 times larger than my left one right now and it hurts to type, y’all are out of luck for a good sized running or weight lifting article today. Instead, I will mention that I have been playing around with the comment settings recently, so if you notice…
