So today marks a new day - where I stop feeling sorry for my achilles tendon and start kicking a**. SMR and I got up early this morning and ran a 5k. Definitely NOT a big deal distance wise - but it was tons of fun and very rewarding. I wasn't feeling well yesterday so we called it a night early and then woke up this morning. The 5k definitely wasn't as easy as I had hoped, but I'm going to attribute it to not being 100% and not eating in the morning. It was my first run with my newly purchased ankle brace, and it definitely helped. Now I'm sitting on the couch icing my ankle and watching Meet the Parents with SMR...We're trying to decide what to eat and enjoying our good feeling after our shower - the problem is that the clock says 10:26am, but our stomachs say 12:00 pm!
Anyway, this is my re-entry into blog land. Traveling for work has picked up once again - and my computer is newly pumped up, so armed with a newly updated computer, motivation, and some free time, here goes nothing...

About Me
- Mr. Trig
- This blog follows my diaries from 1990-1992, kept at the direction of my mother. If any of you kept a diary as a child, I highly recommend digging it up. In 1989, my family and I moved from Churchville, PA to Rydal, PA, a suburb about 10-15 minutes outside of Philadelphia, PA. I was new to the school with a long Armenian name that I was sure would immediately make me an outcast. I was anxious about making friends. The kids welcomed me with open arms (I still count them as my closest friends to THIS DAY) - and so did the teachers. Sadly some of the people are no longer with us - but the memories are as fresh in my mind now as they were then. I remember my first slow dance, my first "girlfriend", our breakup, the day my pet guinea pig Curly died (your jaw will drop when that is posted), and my recollection of the current events of the time.... Maybe the stories will make you laugh - or maybe if you have kids they'll remind you that kids see and hear everything! Whatever your point of view, join me in reliving my rollercoaster ride through adolescence during the early 1990's!!!!
