Coudal Partners’ Layer Tennis | Week 6, Volley 3 could be called “Before you were born.” It’s phenomenal that it was put together in 15 minutes — be sure to check out the rest of that layer tennis match, it’s the best week thus far. You can also visit Marian Bantjes’s Website for more.
I’ve been reading up on running into the winter — that is, I’m curious how to keep my body the right temperature out on the trails when the temperature itself is all over the place. A certain Dr. Pribut has written up some good information about running in the cold:
Polypropylene and goretex clothes are also an aid to keeping your body warm and dry. The wicking action of polypropylene is excellent. Combined with a light weight goretex suit - you can run comfortably without the necessity of old fashioned thick layering. When it is not too cold, one layer of a polypropylene shirt below a sweat shirt should be enough for your upper body and polypropylene or lycra tights should suffice for your legs. When it becomes very cold, goretex or nylon will help lessen the effect of windchill.
His writing style is a bit… truncated and fragmented, but it’s packed with good information and a helpful windchill chart. It looks like the next things I need are a good pair of winter running socks and a wicking upper layer (Gore-tex, ho!).
‘Course, that stuff is rather frighteningly expensive.
Incredibly incredible origami. In which entire figures are produced from “ONE UNCUT SQUARE of paper”. My jaw, it drops.

Well, I’ll do my part to help Patrick Moberg find the girl of his dreams — his website is basically a missed connection writ large and writ well.
I was a buccaneer-type pirate for Halloween. Pictures are (believe it or not) forthcoming. What did you dress up as?
