A writer, a master griller, a silence filler
My primary personal blog - andthefamilybuick.com - occupied my attention for nearly 5 years.  I wrote extensively about politics, pop culture and my travels.  I won some awards, met some people, and walked away in the fall of 2010.  But my archives are still up.  Please check them out.
In 2010, I trained for and ran the Twin Cities Marathon.  My running blog is still up - youshouldrun.com.  If you run, ran or might choose to do so, I recommend it.  I'm currently training for the same marathon, different year.  No blog this time.  But many of the same observations still apply.
