PreBlast. Vincent at the “O” Temple of Gloom. 3/22/18

I woke up this morning at 4:50 and looked out the window at a blanket of heavy, wet snow covering the landscape.  Perfect morning to fartsack it.  However, I had a few reasons to pull up my boot straps and venture out into the gloom.  Reason # 1, very simple – I want to getContinueContinue reading “PreBlast.

11/02/17: Pre-Blast #TheO #TempleofGloom – Get Better!

I don’t have anything all that creative to add for the pre-blast tomorrow.  Frankly, I’m tired from Halloween with the kids and I ate a Mr. Goodbar at breakfast and now my sugar’s all out of whack.  I feel like I’m taking crazy pills or something.  I digress… Suffice it to say, though, we willContinueContinue reading “11/02/17: Pre-Blast #TheO #TempleofGloom – Get Better!”
