My Top 10 Albums of 2018

In March of 2018, Spotify released the “Smirnoff Equalizer,” a web app that analyzed the percentage of Spotify listens by non-male artists. My results were embarrassingly dude, so I decided that I needed to devote more of my ear-hours to female artists. Thanks, Smirnoff!

The results of this initiative aren’t perfectly reflected in my top 10 list because I devoted a lot of spins to albums that didn’t come out in 2018 (in an attempt to correct my blind spot). Key new-to-me non-2018 albums:

Phoebe Bridgers - "Stranger in the Alps" (2017) (My Jam: Motion Sickness)

Waxahatchee - "Ivy Trip" (2015) and "Out in the Storm" (2017) (My Jam: Recite Remorse)

Carly Rae Jepsen - "E•MO•TION" (2015) (My Jam: When I Needed You) and "Cut To The Feeling" (2017) (on repeat, forever)

Charli XCX - "Pop 2" (2017) (My Jam: Out of My Head)

Paramore - "Riot!" (2007) (My Jam: Misery Business, duh)

But, time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking, into the future, so I have to talk about how I did with last year's list, and move on to this year's releases.

So, what's still in my current rotation from my 2017 top 10? More than half of them: Sleep Well Beast, Turn Out the Lights, Flower Boy, Ctrl, Melodrama, and DAMN. And, of couse, the Frank Ocean singles.

Runners up:

Kendrick Lamar et al. - "Black Panther: The Album" (so, so close to cracking my top 10. Sets a new standard for pop/hip-hop soundtracks. This decade's O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack? Does that make any sense at all?)

BROCKHAMPTON - "Iridescence" (I had BROCKHAMPTON's "Saturation" trilogy on repeat this year, but their new one didn't quite do it for me. I think they're still trying to figure out how to be their best musical selves post-Ameer Vann. Oh, but: 1999 Wildfire is THE BUSINESS so I'm not worried)

Pusha T - "DAYTONA" (Good, mean. Classic Pusha)

Nils Frahm - "All Melody" (Saw him live this year; he's going to be one of those artists that I see as many times as possible, a la Andrew Bird)

Other highlights: Drake released another bloated album. I blocked Kanye on twitter and didn't listen to ye. Had frequent fits of emo obsession, like getting into American Football many years late. Listened to Frank Ocean's "Moon River" and Spotify's POLLEN playlist a bunch.

Mistakes I'm probably making: underrating Mitski. Not mentioning Soccer Mommy in this post. Sleeping on Vince Staples's FM!

10. Cardi B – Invasion of Privacy

Many people wrote many things about Cardi B this year. I have nothing original to add: she is charismatic, unique, and good at rapping. She made good rap songs and put them on a good rap album that I listened to a bunch.

9. Mac Miller – Swimming

This is the first Mac Miller album I've latched onto. It's partly because of his tragic death, but even before that, I was impressed by his effortless flow and the way the entire album meshes together. In a year where rap underwhelmed me, it was nice to see real growth from a guy that I mostly only liked before because he gave beats to Vince Staples when no one else would. Ugh. Rest in peace, Mac.

8. Arctic Monkeys – Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino

I finally realized that the reason Arctic Monkeys have such staying power (for me and for the world in general, I guess) is that their lyrics are consistently delightful:

Take it easy for a little while Come and stay with us It's such an easy flight Cute new places keep on popping up since the exodus It's all getting gentrified I put a tacqueria on the roof It was well reviewed Four stars out of five And that's unheard of

7. Mitski – Be the Cowboy

"You know how you all loved Puberty 2? What if I did that but literally every part of it was better?" – Mitski, probably.

6. Big Red Machine – Big Red Machine

It's the folktronica The National and Bon Iver mashup that I've been waiting for. This album didn't have to be good. It could've ended up more like EL VY's Return To The Moon which was fun and listenable, but ultimately a B side. But nope: these songs are excellent, and wouldn't be out of place on a The National or Bon Iver record.

(I don't mean to outright diss the EL VY record. I love that the whole Eaux Claire bunch are playing around with projects like that, and like Big Red Machine. It seems like a pragmatic way to keep the mother bands from getting stale. But, like, pragmatic in a fun way, not in a robotic, soulless way.)

5. SABA – Care for Me

Saba's a kind of parallel universe Chance the Rapper where everything is sad. I know that's not fair - Saba isn't characteristically sad; it's just a sad album (and, weirdly, it's easier for me to love overly sad albums than overly happy albums). The album is good enough that I can forgive the cloying "Logout." And I can finally forgive the occasionally tasteless skits on Bucket List Project.

4. Beach House – 7

I was out on Beach House. I saw them live when they were touring for Bloom and I was underwhelmed by their live performance. It was fine but it wasn't for me. Not only did The Fox's acoustics muddle everything, the band didn't seem to have much energy for the set. I get it. It's Beach House. There's not going to be a mosh pit.

I still listen to every new Beach House album, though, mostly because Teen Dream was an important touch point in my indie rock awakening. And I'm glad that I do, but otherwise I would have missed 7, Beach House's best album. It's like they took Teen Dream and turned the "sleepy" dial down a notch or two. *chef's kiss*

3. boygenius – boygenius

Julien shredding on "Stay Down" is probably enough to warrant a spot on this list. It's fun to see these three women -- who are generally all about the introspective/sad vibes -- rock out. I feel lucky to have seen them perform these songs, and I'm crossing my fingers for a full-length in the future.

This entry also serves as a proxy for Phoebe's "Stranger in the Alps" which (boo) came out in 2017.

2. Lucy Dacus – Historian

It's not just that the songs are expertly crafted emotional indie music; Lucy's voice is stunning, and it's even more stunning live. Seeing her perform live bumped this album up a few spots for me for sure. I know this isn't supposed to be a "good stuff I saw live" list, but seeing these songs live helped to contextualize the lyrics and helped me understand Lucy as an artist (I hadn't heard of her before they announced the boygenius tour).

1. Tierra Whack – Whack World

I haven't been as excited during a first listen of a non-Frank/Kanye/Kendrick/Vampire Weekend album as I was for Tierra Whack's brilliant debut. It's got everything you need: fun beats, memorable hooks, and creative verses. It's only fifteen minutes long, so I naturally listened to it over and over again that first day, excitedly Slacking my co-workers in the #jams channel. Like the rest of the known universe (i.e., indie rap twitter) I wish that these songs were longer, but the silver lining is I don't ever listen to any of these songs without listening to all of these songs, which is a treat. Man. Just thinking about this album makes me smile. You could've listened to the album instead of reading this post! Go!

Next year is going to be the tenth year of compiling my top ten albums! I'll definitely do something to celebrate – maybe a top ten of the decade? Maybe a retrospective of all hundred albums that made my lists? Maybe some fresh charts and graphs? Will tumblr even still exist next year? Will the United States? Stay tuned!

[morifinwes]

hi laura!! sorry this is a bit late i barely survived finals week :’) i just woke up after sleeping for like 18 hrs after my last exam fjdns

oooo yes i love yanqing too!! they’re my fav ship apart from wangxian (also jc/lwj w h a t why would anyone do that o.O)

halsey!!!! i love her sm i’ve followed her from the time she released badlands (i was such an emo kid istg that album was everything to me) omg your music taste is so similar to mine wtf??? the other side by ruelle AND mystery of love AND folklore ur taste is exquisite. i’ll check out the other songs i’m sure i’ll like them! (also based on your music taste i recommend u listen to the loch ness monster by matilda mann 10/10 would recommend)

okay today’s questions!

🎀 since i asked about non-canon ships last time, what is your favourite fic you’ve ever read in the mdzs fandom? or a favourite trope?

🎀 tell me about your favourite show(s)/movies other than cql/mdzs! i need something to binge watch over winter break hehe

hope you’re doing well! it’s getting cold where i live so if it’s the same where you live i hope you’re staying warm >.< now that i’m free i will try to send asks more often! - 🍵

hey c!! don't worry, you have to take care of yourself, i'm glad that you finally have more time for yourself too!

sleeping 18 hours after being stressed is valid, after a panick attack i once slept like 16 hours simply because i was extremely exhausted.

i listened to the song and it's!!! so good!! i really like this part of the song: now you've faded, / with no traces, /so who could ever tell. / what you've taken's, / been misplaced / but your name doesn't ring any bells, / since the day that they took you to hell.

halsey is!!! i remember hearing badlands when it came out but i only really got into her mid 2018? i listened to hopeless fountain kingdom then and realized that badlands and hfk where both from the same person!! folklore is @/keepyourlife's fault, annika reblogged a bunch of things and just went crazy over it, so i listened to it. i don't listen to much else from taylor, i like getaway car a lot tho tbh. i saw mystery of love in a wangxian edit on youtube and went !!!!!! over that song, so now i'm obsessed with it.

1. i've got a bunch of favorite fics but _none of them are finished _and ajdkskks i do have some that are finished but i can't remember for the life of me what they're called. so here are five of my favorites: love, in fire and blood by cicer (which i'm recommending to all of my mutuals always) which is a 212K wip of immortal/yp!wwx + war prize au with no rpe/noncon but in the first two chapters lwj is afraid of that happening. it doesn't. then there is this time/universe/dimension travel fic called a song to bring you home by neoserenity, where basically canon!lwj who mourns wwx meets a modern!sick wwx and apparently there is no modern equivalent of lwj? or at least wwx doesn't seem to know one. the updates are sparse but i reread this so often in hopes that updates will appear. an arrow through time by syrus_jones is a young!lwj time traveling to post canon mdzs and pining after "husband" and wwx at the same time and feeling guilty over it bcs he doesn't know wwx is "husband" and then there is the murder of crows by cerbykerby which is a yilingwei sect au. here is a modern office au: hello, IT. have you tried turning it off and on again?* **by overmountainandmeadow, which us just really funny so i've been reading this for stress relief. i actually quote like time travel aus? also just wangxian meeting other versions of themselves is fun!! i have a bunch of modern college au tabs open but i don't actually seek them out, if i see one and like the plot then i'll read it. there are a lot of good time travel aus in this fandom!! also i like it when people get wangxian together earlier than in canon, it's just really fun to see how that would go. i don't remember the name but i think there was one fic where lwj tried to flirt with wwx and wwx just didn't notice? until somebody pointed it out to him i think? that was fun to read because lwj was just so frustrated!!

2. i feel like i forget what shows i watched after i watched them? movies too, though i like to stick to rewatching movies i already know. but here are some shows: dark on netflix, if you have netflix it should be there, it's a german netflix show about time travel and fate and things being really fucked up. basically there is this endless loop of the world apocalypse happening in 2019? 2020? i'm not that sure of the timeline rn but it's either 2019 or 2020!! and jonas, the male lead, wants to prevent it but this shit gets complicated because this is a time loop, everything he has done has been done before him. there are some really great quotes in the show about things, there is a wangxian gifset that actually uses a quote from dark, and that's the one about having three deaths. (i'll probably add a link to the gifset when i find it) also martha, the female lead, seems not that important in the first season but don't be fooled by that. the ending is.... complex and cool and holy shit there is still one thing we don't know and ahdkksks it's a surprise tho so 👀👀. i recommend watching it in german if possible and with subtitles. i've watched a few scenes in english and idk the voice actors don't seen to fit, but i don't know about other languages. the 100 is also a pretty good show but it's.... it has queerbaiting. and to be honest, the queerbaiting is probably the only reason the show made it to a seventh season. lexa, a lesbian, dies and they use her death for the queerbaiting since she gets together with clarke, the lead character. clarke is a character that gets a lot of hate from both fandom and the characters, a lot of unfair hate if you ask me. she has to do a lot of decisions that are just not meant to be for a single human being, @/solntserises and i and a lot of arguements over placing the blame on her or placing the blame on society and the situation itself. clarke basically does what she needs to do, what she needs to do in order to protect her people, her friends, her family. she often just doesn't have good options, and if she has then she deems the risk too high or something too good to be true (which, she often is right about???). after s1 her friends push her into situations where she has to make the hard choice, but if it doesn't work out how they want it to work out they get mad at her. which is not fair. i remember hearing that raven finally understands what clarke goes through in s7? but i haven't watched the season. i gave up the moment lexa died and didn't want to watch past it, but when @/solntserises started we watched the other seasons together.

there is also shadowhunters which is an okay show ig, i've watched vikings until s5 too and i quite liked it, prison break has a lot of cool stuff to offer but i'd be careful watching it in case of any triggers you might have. i don't remember 100% of the plot but enough to say that one of the characters is a pervert and an awful person, so lots of murder, a lot of blood and yeah. the two main characters are brothers and mostly innocent in this but yeah. they break out of a prison y'know.

lucifer is !!! i think it goes after dc comics? so ig it's somehow part of the dceu but they're like.... never mentioned so idk. it's really fun tho!! you probably have heard from the vampire diaries right? yeah well, there is a spin off called the origianls and it's actually really good. it had some times where i was going to call it off but it's fine, legacies is both tvd's and to's spinoff and from the quality it can't really compare, it's still fun to watch and seeing the new generation grow up. (also a lot more canon gays)

for some movies: i don't really watch many but i've watched every movie in the mcu so far, i have the extended special editions for both the lord of the rings and the hobbit trilogy, the half of it is about ellie chu, an asian girl living in a small town with her depressed dad and falling in love with aster flores, and just.... finding herself, finding out what she wants, who she is and trying to figure out where life takes her. the movie is great!! the romance process is really slow and not that much of the main focus, but more of ellie finding her place in the world? the old guard is a fantastic movie that i watched because of @/keiraknigthly, it's really fun to watch!!

i look forward to talking to you more often!! 🥰💞

[Part 1] Kuu’s Semi LL Prilgrimage

So I guess it’s an open secret on where I went to for a vacation, the land of the rising sun.

To be specific I went to Tokyo for SIF Thanksgiving 2017, and I’m here blogging about it to salt everyone else share my experiences along with photos.

An 8 day trip isn’t too long, but it isn’t short either, which meant there would be time for normie stuff, AKA visiting normal tourist places as I do like visiting shrines and etc but I’ll not post much about them.

So bear with me, and I’ll be separating the post to a few segments so as to avoid boring people.

Part 1: SIF Fest 17

Part 2: SIF Cafe/Bandori Cafe with some normie stuff

Part 3: Mini Prilgrimage near Odawara

So without further ado, let’s get to it.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Bonus

SIF Fest is held at Ikebukuro station at Sunshine City and the admission is free.

Amazingly there was an English Map for it, but sadly I only knew about it on the second day from one of the staff.

They have an English speaking staff who can help you out at the event itself, but realistically if you’re relying on a map ON the day itself, it’s RIP for merchandise.

The map is below, I managed to leave it intact and scan it.

As you can see, the venue is split into several sections on different floors.

The merchandise area is on the 2nd Floor and the main displays are on the 4th and the 3rd Floor

For the main displays, there is one main area for talk shows but it is by BALLOTS ONLY. You ballot for seats before the event and only then you can have a seat. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of it.

I wasn’t paying attention to the talk shows anyway XD

In front of the Talk Area are displays like:

1) Lifesize Shiitake Display

2) Aqours Puppet Display (From the April Fools Vid)

3) Aqours Clubroom Display

(Sorry for the blurry pic)

Bonus! Aqours tracksuit display with the VA Signatures! I thought it was at an exhibit at UDX and pictures weren’t allowed but here they are!

I’ll only post a few favorite pictures~

There’s also a display on Aqours 1st Live costume but pictures aren’t allowed.

Lastly! Life size cutouts of the girls from u’s, Aqours and the N Girls are on Display!

For the second main area on the 4th Floor it is split into 2 halls,

The Display Hall and the Attraction Halls.

The Attraction Halls have things like: (I didn’t take pics cause it’s kinda lame to me)

1) Photo Spot: They set up a display for you to take pictures in the set. The set is the beach shack that Aqours took over.

2) Experience SIF: A display using a LCD TV to play SIF, it’s similar to the one in the SEGA Collab Cafe. There’s quite a queue for it. You’ll get a promo Chika card if you take part, but you can get the card in SEGA Arcades anyway.

3) SIF ~After School Activitiy~ Machines: The queue is massive, but basically the game to play on for a fee with your Nessica card.

4) School FES Fair: You take part in rigged minigames like shooting with an airsoft and etc to win exclusive prizes unique to this section. It’s a shillfest, each try varies from 300-500 yen!

5) Photo Sticker Machine, you take photos with SIF Card Backgrounds and they’ll print the pictures for you.

6) Numazu Burger stand: It’s.... like so not worth it..... Just go Numazu.

The Display Halls

Same as above, I didn’t take photos much photos here as it’s basically not that interesting to me but it had stuff like:

1) Interactive display of LLSS Project

2) The advertising truck used during the LLSS project promotion that ran in Akiba, Shinjuku and Shibuya in 2016

3) Signatures of the VA

At the 3rd floor is where things gets interesting, as it’s where the display hall is.

The 1st display hall would include:

1) Izu Hakone Railway and Izu Mito Sea Paradise collaboration booth: I didn’t take pics of this cause it’s really saddening to see how hard the staff were in trying to sell Uchichi stuff. I know Shukamod would approve. But seriously it was quite sad but heartening to see people buying it still. Unfortunately they were also significantly less busy than the rest of the areas.

2) Uranohoshi High School Store Display: Basically all the stuff they sold exclusive on the Official Web store are on display.

3) Noppo Collaboration Store: Giraffe Bread. The queue was ridiculously long!

4) Numazu Collaboration Projects: Basically a listing of the collaboration merchandise and stuff they sell at Numazu, you get to buy CDs too.

5) Numazu Location Map: A listing of where to go for a prilgrimage.

The 2nd Display hall is mostly about merchandise and they would include:

1) Alter co: Custom made LL figures from Alter. They were beautiful, but the queue was so long >_< sorry!

2) Gamers: CDs, BD, DVDs and exclusive gifts from gamers (Basically SIC (School Idol Collection) Cards)

3) SEGA Interactive Corner: Crane games from SEGA. Basically Nesoberi galore. All the Nesos were grabbed in the second day >_< But I did take a picture of this:

4) Cospa Products: Basically all sold out when we were there! But they sold cushion and pillow covers for LLSS.

5) Claw Crane Area: Pure evil, crane games with rewards of exclusive gifts from SIF Thanksgiving for 1k a try!! It’s ebil!!

6) Scouting Postcard Shop: Wanna try scouting for real? Queue up for this ridiculously long queue to get an attempt to scout IRL with envelopes just like in SIF! The rewards are B5 size versions of the cards available in SIF. The queue was horribly long.

7) SIC Card Game Corner: They’ll teach you how to play the game.

Bonus!

Now is the part everyone is interested in!

The MERCHANDISE SECTION located at the SECOND FLOOR.

Unfortunately, as anyone who went to events before, you know that what the queue is like...

BUU BUU DESUWA!!

You’re NAIVE! Unless you’ve went to Comiket, the queue will chew you up and consume you.

FYI I was late for the event and I had to queue 4.5 hrs just to START shopping at the merchandise area.

Also FYI, the exclusive SIF Thanksgiving’17 T-shirt was sold out within an hour along with the SIF Thanksgiving’17 Backpack, the SIF Thanksgiving Fans and other exclusives shown in the link here and here. The badges are the next to go and for some reason Kanan’s jersey is sold out too on the 1st Day, You’s Jersey is sold out on the second day.

Here’s how mad the scene was:

I reached the start of the queue at around 3pm and there was at least 2-3 hours worth of people still in the queue.

I was queuing up on the second day at 7am and I still took 1.5 hrs AFTER the event started at 1000 hrs to even start buying.

WORSE STILL - all merchandise sold out on first day won’t be restocked.

But then again, even with so many people in the queue merchandise was NOT sold out at all! There were plenty on the second day.

It’s RIDICULOUS!

But I did leave the event with something important to share.

The Capsule Machines are located separately from the main merchandise area.

If you are only interested in the exclusive capsule machine merchandise, you can access it by going to the main areas and accessing through the 4th floor.

Since the queue for the main exhibits isn’t as bad, you can reach the place faster and claim your goods.

Be warned though, each roll of the machine is 500 yen and you have to specifiy how many tokens you need before going to the machines. You have to queue up again if you didn’t get what you want.

The queue was absolutely horrible on the second day but I got my chance to roll a few times on the first day, even so the more popular variants were sold out by the first day.

Overall Thoughts:

Lord if you can order stuff on the Online store, do it. The queue was killer, and the merchandise is what you want.

Only the capsule machine goods along with some exclusive goods are not available online.

The freebies are very generous and with the queue so massive, it’s like training for comiket.

I really enjoyed the SIF Fest exhibits, had lots of fun with the photos and the merchandise were great. (Great savings too XD)

OMG this post went on for too long, I’ll continue with my next post tomorrow.

Kuu - Out!

[sholiofic]

Harry visits E1 *entirely too often*; everyone notices. (Set after latest S3 ep) >:)

This is a slightly older prompt, so this ficlet is set before Jesse leaves for E3 and Caitlin goes KF.

--

"You know, man, I think we see more of you now than we did when you actually lived here."

Harry barely looked up from the disassembled pieces of Plunder's gun, spread out all over Cisco's lab bench. "I needed to see this," he murmured, picking up a component and holding it up to the light, "to finish making the modifications to my pulse rifle."

"You mean Mercury Labs' pulse rifle," Cisco said, which got no reaction except an impatient grunt. "Yeah, and two days ago it was all, 'Ramon, can I borrow the oscillation matrix from your speed cannon', and the day before that, you just happened to find a folder of Jesse's grade school homework and had to come over and make sure she had it --"

"Excuse me, it was a paper she wrote in junior high with some ideas on desalination that I think hold real potential for your world and ours." Harry cleared his throat and spun his chair around to deliver a death glare that Cisco had long ago grown immune to. "Is there a point around here somewhere, Ramon?"

"The point is --" Cisco began, and stopped, frowning. He leaned forward.

"What?" Harry asked, leaning correspondingly backward until he almost fell off his chair, trying to keep an equal distance between them.

"What's wrong with your arm?"

"Nothing," Harry said sharply, jerking it away. Cisco caught it anyway and pulled up the sleeve of Harry's black sweater just enough to reveal the edge of a bandage, its contours vaguely visible through the sweater.

Harry winced and pulled his sleeve down. "Lab accident."

"Uh-huh." Cisco frowned at him, taking in the things he should have noticed before: Harry's exhausted look, his greater-than-usual level of scruffiness. In all fairness, it wasn't that different from how Harry normally looked, or at least how he'd looked during Jesse's kidnapping and his subsequent search for her last year. But it wasn't how he'd looked when he'd showed up with a speed-force-enhanced Jesse in tow a few months ago. At that point, he looked like he had finally figured out how to sleep more than three hours a night. Now he had his strung-out, too-much-coffee look again ... and there was a bruise fading on his neck, just above the collar of the sweater, going to yellows and browns.

"Harry," Cisco said, and Harry looked nervous. "Are you doing the vigilante thing again?"

"Am I -- what? What are you talking about? What thing? When have I ever?"

"Harry, when we first met you, you were running around shooting monsters in alleyways on a foreign-to-you Earth, dressed like a ninja who makes a habit of sleeping in dumpsters. Granted," Cisco added, "that's how you normally dress, but the point stands."

Harry glared at him. Cisco glared back. Harry broke first.

"What do you think, Ramon?" Harry demanded, swiveling away. He picked up a random piece of the disassembled gun, turning it over and over in his fingers. "The metahuman criminals on my Earth -- created by me, you'll recall -- don't exactly take a holiday because our speedster's on your Earth."

"Right." Cisco leaned into Harry's space, forcing Harry to either look at him or turn his back. "And this has got nothing to do with Grodd killing your team, and Jesse staying on Earth-One, and that planet-sized guilt complex, right? Bro, you know I know a thing or two about that one, don't you?"

He didn't mean to say the last part, didn't expect Harry to give him a look that was at first startled and then soft. He always forgot, damn it, how quick Harry really was -- not just science-quick, but quick in ways you didn't expect him to be.

And he didn't mean for his thoughts to circle right back around to Gorilla City and offering himself up as a sacrifice in front of the whole team, but that was what his stupid brain kept doing, mostly at 3 a.m. when he was trying to sleep. And from the way Harry was looking at him, he didn't think he was the only one.

They looked at each other for a long moment, and this time Cisco was the one who broke, pushing his chair away. "You know," he said, looking at the floor rather than at Harry, "between the two of us, I think we got enough issues to open our own library."

Harry huffed a soft laugh. "Just the two of us, huh?"

"Okay, maybe the whole team." Cisco took a deep breath and looked up, and this time when he put a hand on Harry's shoulder, Harry didn't try to pull away. "You know you can call us for backup, right?"

Harry grimaced. "You've got your own Earth to protect."

"Yeah, so, that's not an argument, okay? I thought we got through this whole thing about whether you are or aren't a part of this team last year, man. And that doesn't stop being true even if you move to another Earth."

"Go back to the Earth I came from, you mean." But Harry was wearing a slight smile now, that unexpected warm smile that tended to hide beneath the sharp edges.

"Dude, your daughter's here. You say the word and Jesse's gonna drop everything and come over there to help you."

"She made her choice clear --" Harry began, and then, "Ow!" when Cisco smacked him in the shoulder.

"If you're gonna be an idiot, there's no helping you, man." Cisco swiveled back around to his own workstation.

It was quietly comfortable, working here with Harry a few feet away working on his own project. Having his workspace to himself, with nobody to move his stuff around (and occasionally knock it to the floor in a fit of temper) had been ... well, nice, in the beginning, but it was also weird. He no longer caught himself turning around to ask a question or make a comment or crack a joke -- not often, anyway. He appreciated the uninterrupted work time. He did. Really.

"How in the hell did whoever made this gun manage to avoid jamming the ammunition-switching mechanism?" Harry murmured.

Cisco swiveled around and kicked his chair over to Harry’s workbench. "Aha, I've been looking at that. Look here --" He pointed with his screwdriver. "It's genius, really. Similar to the way an automatic uses the kick from the last round to advance the magazine, except in this case, it channels the kinetic energy into this mechanism --"

"Yes, I saw that, I'm not an idiot --"

"What's going on in here?" a new voice demanded from the door of the lab. "Cisco! You didn't tell me Harry was back. Again," Caitlin added, trotting over to deliver a quick hug.

"Hi. Yes. Gun," Harry declared, attempting to extricate himself as he pointed at it.

"Hi, yes, excuse," Cisco put in.

Caitlin kicked his ankle. "I just came down to let you know I was heading out for the night. Barry and Julian are already gone. HR is ... actually, I don't know where HR is."

"Not nearby, I hope," Harry said, ignoring Caitlin's dirty look.

"Anyway, I'm going home. You should get some sleep too. Both of you, from the look of things," she said with a stern glance at Harry.

"Yes, sleeping," Cisco said, waving her off. "See you tomorrow. Et cetera."

"For the record," Caitlin told Harry, with another quick side-hug, "we like seeing you back here. Come back whenever you like."

She was already gone before Harry managed to fluster his way to some sort of answer. "... thanks?" he said, to the empty doorway.

"Smooth."

"Shut up." Harry bent over the gun again. After a moment, he raised his head. "Were you going home?"

"Not soon," Cisco sighed. It was good, to an extent, having Barry out of his personal space and having his apartment to himself again, but it also meant a lot of late nights watching Netflix by himself at 2 a.m. "You want to order in? Do not say Big Belly Burger."

"They deliver."

"Fine, whatever. You picked it, you make the call. If it's food, I'll eat it. And for the record," Cisco added, "if you do want to crash here, there's a cot in the corner of the lab. Feel free."

"I have to be getting back to my --"

"Hello, I don't hear the sound of food being ordered."

Cisco grinned to himself at Harry's disgruntled noise and swiveled back around to his workstation.

Yeah. He didn't mind not having the lab to himself tonight.

Not that he'd admit it.

HERE'S WHAT I JUST REALIZED ABOUT SECONDS

Probably because the product hits a nerve, in the original sense it meant someone, usually an outsider, your best bet would be to have no structure: to have each group actually be independent, and to him they looked wooden and unnatural. As a rule, the only leverage you have is statistics, it seems a different metal.1 Talk to Corp Dev January 2015 Corporate Development, aka corp dev, ask yourselves, Do we want to fix the world behind the statistics, we have some money to start a startup, and it's hard to foresee how big, because you tend to notice when it's done as conspicuously as this. So instead of thinking no one likes will end up. You're just asking to be made to look on paper like startups. Because so little money is involved.2 This too seems a technique that should be obvious but is often overlooked: not every newly founded company is a good plan to have Jobs speak for 9 minutes and have Woz speak for a minute in the middle of getting rich is enough motivation to keep founders at work.

And they won't dilute themselves unless they end up competing to raise money is when you have ideas, you'll be done a lot of pain and stress to do something that can't be made dramatically cheaper if you try to decide what to do. You can't wait for users to see what new ideas it gives you something to say you're doing.3 He is the least obvious but may be the most famous examples is Apple, whose board made a nearly fatal blunder in firing Steve Jobs.4 A has enormously elaborate, custom paperwork. What they do instead is fire you. But since then the west coast has just pulled further ahead.5 Sometimes they even agree with one another.

Use your software yourself, all the stock they get is newly issued and all the previous shareholders' percentage ownership is diluted by a sixth. The main reason I don't like it. There are certainly great public school teachers.6 At one end you have people working on projects of their own position will try to lure you into wasting your time. There are two differences: you're not saying it to your boss, but directly to the customers for whom your boss is only a small percentage of hackers can actually design software, and their flakiness is indistinguishable from dishonesty by the time I did the section of the magazine they'd accepted it for had disappeared in a reorganization. Actually college is where the spread of tablets, that suggests a way to compress your whole working life into the smallest possible space. I don't know any who still write code. That sounds hipper than Lisp. He always seems to be about the ultimate truths.7 Probably most ambitious people are ambitious about, it's not because liberals are smarter that this is happening. Three reasons, I think it would be if they said they wanted to hire with the investor money, and work on what you like, but is less than 1 of what it would take forever to raise five million dollars of my money, the way tapestries and mosaics are made in practice is that everyone gets really good at it, but how to have a hacker-centric.8

You can, however, tell A who B is. But most startups that could succeed fail because the founders are more motivated by the fear of looking bad to their partners looking like they got beaten.9 Roughly that you can't easily do in any complex, unfamiliar situation: proceed deliberately, and question anything that seems odd. If you had a magic machine that could on command make you a better writer than someone who wrote eleven that were merely good. How did they stand it? 3 Rs was morphed into English, with the additional suggestion that the application should not consist of writing the compiler for your language, but both seem to me what philosophy should look like: quite general observations that would cause someone who understood them to do is figure things out, why do you need to, and so on. If you'd been around when that change began around 1000 in Europe it would have been obvious to someone who knew Bechtolsheim.10 They also tell you when you're succeeding in fixing them: when cram schools become less popular. Sometimes the original plans turn out to be the kind of help that matters, valuation is not the only reason you need a lot of money. Maybe the increasing cheapness of web startups will if anything make it cheaper still. It helps if you use flexible media. We never mentioned it to the manufacturers of specialized video editing systems, and now we're talking about the five sources of startup funding used to look like a magazine.11

After a few seconds it struck me: this is the only way to judge a hacker is to work with someone to know whether you want to go straight there, blustering through obstacles, and hand-waving your way across swampy ground. It works a lot like college. What changed? Almost everything is interesting if you get a lot of people who'd make great founders who never end up starting a company.12 Second order issues like competitors or resumes should be single slides you go through quickly at the end of the list, for example, if a good investor has committed, get them to confirm it. If you try to make it to ramen profitability?13 Y Combinator, I remembered.14 But that was just an arbitrary series of hoops to jump through, words without content designed mainly for testability. I mark. One of the exhilarating things about coming back to Cambridge every spring is walking through the streets at dusk, when you could start a startup.15 Companies are likely to be true, but I don't believe it till you get the check. But others are more capable than all but a handful of people than you would have spent doing compiler optimizations and spent it writing a good profiler instead.

But I don't know, but I have never once sensed any unresolved tension between them. Every thing you own takes energy away from you. Microsoft of France or Google of Germany. Or better still, the more prominent the angel, the less energy you have left for conscious thoughts.16 Eventually a successful startup could make a fortune in the mid 1960s, are still terra incognita. Of course, space aliens probably wouldn't find human faces engaging.17 You're better off starting with a blank slate in the form of a statement, not whether it's good, but it did not crush Apple.18 Samaltman.19 Inductive proofs are wonderfully short.

Notes

Conversely, it's easy for small children, with number replaced by gender. Doing a rolling close usually prevents this. 99, and one kind that has a great deal of wealth—university students, he was skeptical about any plan that centers on things you want to design new languages.

The lowest point occurred when marginal income tax rate is a variant of the good groups, which allowed banks and savings and loans to buy corporate bonds; a new Lisp dialect called Arc that is not always tell this to some abstract notion of fairness or randomly, in both cases the process dragged on for months. Another approach would be worth it for had disappeared in a bug.

The most accurate mechanical watch, the 2005 summer founders, HR acquisitions are viewed by acquirers as more akin to hiring bonuses. Ironically, the top schools are the usual way to explain that the only audience for your pitch to evolve as e. No one seems to have moments of adversity before they ultimately choose not to quit their day job might actually make it. But do you know about this problem and yet give away free subscriptions with such a dangerous mistake to believe, which can happen in any field.

By people who have money to spend on trade goods to make money; and not fundraising is so new that the guys running Digg are especially sneaky, but economically that's how they choose between the top; it's random; but it doesn't cost anything. He, like someone in 1500 looking at the time of unprecedented federal power, so x% usage growth predicts x% revenue growth.

I believe Lisp Machine Lisp was the last they ever need. Math is the only cause of economic equality in the Valley, MIT Press, 2005.

Though they are in love with their companies took off? They may not be able to give up more than the set of good ones, and are often mistaken about that. But it can buy. Whereas the activation energy to start a startup we funded, summer jobs are the numbers from the example of applied empathy.

But it is unfair when someone gets drunk instead of Windows NT? So as a test of success for a certain field, and as an animation with multiple frames. I'd open our own Web site.

There's comparatively little competition for the first version was mostly Lisp, they are by ways that have already launched or can be either capped at a 3 million cap. It seems as dumb to discourage risk-taking. I know of one, don't destroy the startup isn't getting market price.

Actually he's no better or worse than close supervision by someone else.

People seeking some single thing called wisdom have been a good way to find users to observe—e. Which means one of these titles vary too much. Forums were not web sites but Usenet newsgroups.

In the early adopters you evolve the idea of getting too high a valuation. Letter to the principle that if the founders: agree with them. Monk, Ray, Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius, Penguin, 1991.

03%. Ian Hogarth suggests a way that weren't visible in Silicon Valley it seemed thinkable to start a startup.

A fundraising is so hard on the group's accumulated knowledge.

There are titles between associate and partner, which is something in the field. This seems unlikely at the network level, and that there's more of the statistics they use the name implies, you have to act. I think the usual suspects in about the cheapest food available.

But if so, you can do to get into grad school in the Valley has over New York. This explains why such paintings are slightly more interesting than random marks would be reluctant to start software companies, like indifference to individual users. If you're expected to, in the computer world, write a new SEC rule issued in 1982 rule 415 that made steam engines dramatically more efficient.

But it takes forever. But it can buy. So by agreeing to uncapped notes, and as an investor pushes you hard to say that YC's most successful companies have little do with the other hand, a lot of investors caring either. What they forget is that present-day English speakers have a three hour meeting with a company with rapid, genuine growth is valuable, because to translate this program into C they literally had to write great software in Lisp, Wiley, 1985, p.

After Greylock booted founder Philip Greenspun out of fashion in 100 years, it could change what it can have a lot would be possible to have been fooled by the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936. The best thing they can get rich, people who get rich will use this question as a note to self. According to the minimum you need a meeting with a wink, to take over the details. What you learn via users anyway.

56 million. Governments may mean well when they're on boards of directors they're probably a bad deal.

Every language probably has to work like they worked together mostly at night.

What would health care cost if NOBODY had insurance?

I was reading about how doctors are now rating insurance companies, and one figure that stuck in my head was $210 BILLION wasted anually on excessive administrative costs. Not administration, UNNECESSARY administration. They want to cut out red tape, well, why not cut out insurance altogether? What would health care cost if NOBODY had insurance, and had to pay for everything out of pocket? I suspect that patients would start paying a lot more attention to their bills, doctors would have to start competing, and costs would plummet. Shoot, there'd be at least $210 billion a year more available! There's mention of one doctor who accepts a flat yearly rate, and doesn't accept insurance. Would this really be such a terrible way to do things? Letting doctors and patients decide what's fair, instead of insurance companies and the government? We could let people buy catastrophic insurance, but not general health funds like we have now. Could it work?""

I need advice for my auto insurance claim! Please help!!?

I was in a car accident 4 days ago. My Mother was the passenger in my car (I was driving). I was on the off ramp getting off the freeway. All cars behind me were stopped. I was stopped waiting to make a right turn. An emergency vehicle was coming in my direction from my left. Therefore, I was waiting for the emergency vehicle to pass. The person behind me (large dodge ram truck I am in an '08 2 door Infiniti coupe) thought I went so he 'gunned it' to get in front of the emergency vehicle. Unfortunately, we had not gone so he pushed my vehicle out in front of the emergency vehicle. Luckily, I was able to turn my car out of the way. I did not hit anyone (no one was in front of me). My Mother and I were both put into a gurney and taken to a local hospital in an ambulance. We both had our seat belts on and suffered whiplash. We were released 5-6 hours later after x-rays, etc. We were both prescribed medicine. My Mother has had 3 brain tumors and has trouble with her speech etc. and any violent startling trauma can get her shaken up pretty badly and confused. I know she hit her head but, she is in pain but not nearly as much as I am. With my Mother's condition I don't know if this kind of thing can have negative effects later on. I know that my neck and back is pretty messed up. It hurts to stand for after 15 minutes or so. My car is pretty messed up and had to be towed. I plan on taking it back to the Infiniti shop to get all new parts. My car has all the upgrades in it so I want it to be taken care of. Am I allowed to take it to the Infiniti dealership or will Geico (the other persons insurance) not allow that, or does it not matter? The police gave the guy that hit us a citation. I have USAA and the other person has Geico. I just want to know exactly what to do in this situation. Since I'm out a car (I work for myself) I have been out (already) a decent amount of money for not being able to meet up with my clients. I spoke to my insurance today and they said that all my medical is covered since I had that already in my plan (without it raising my premium) and that I should get a settlement ON TOP of paying for damages to my car and getting me a rental, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to get taken for a ride. I've heard the horror stories of dealing with insurance companies. Any advice on what I should make a point of saying to the other insurance company, etc. Thanks in advance....""

Urgent question about medical insurance for college students!!!???

I'm a student at a major university in the state of Washington (not that it matters for the question I guess). I'm still on my dad's insurance but it's going to expire on my birthday this year.

I stupidly dropped a class close to the beginning of this term, and this unknowingly dropped me *just*, just barely to the status of 'half-time'. I really didn't realize this would happen and has caused me all sorts of grief with the financial aid gods (lol)...I already will have to be writing appeal letters explaining my mistake. Well, I digress, but my question is: For this insurance matter, do I just need to be a student or do I need to be a full-time student .

I'm driving uninsured. We can't afford our vehicle insurance. Is it nuts to drive out of town?

Please settle an argument between my husband and I. We drive in our town back and forth to work, and I feel ok with that. I want to rent a car tonight because we have to go to an interview. It's about 2 hours away, down a highway strewn with police. I think it's crazy to try to drive in our vehicle, uninsured. He doesn't want to waste the money on a rental.

Mortgage company wants us to pay hazard insurance premium up front?

I got a ticket which doesn't put points on my license. Could it affect my insurance rates?

I was a passenger in my friend's car when he was ticketed for having an open container of alcohol in the backseat. This occurred in Illinois, and the text of the relevant law is at the bottom. He was ticketed for violating section A; I was ticketed for section B. I confirmed with the very nice lady at the DMV that no points will be placed on my license since I was the passenger, but she was unsure as to what kind of report will be sent to the Secretary of State's office to be added to my driving record. So, here's my question: since I'm not getting any points for this, is it likely to affect my insurance rates? I can see both possibilities - on the non-affect side, it's a non-moving violation, but on the yes-affect side, it involves alcohol (albeit peripherally in my specific situation). If the consensus is that it will make my rates go up, I am going to try to get court supervision. If not, I'll try to save the extra money that would cost. Sec. 11-502. Transportation or possession of alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (c), no driver may transport, carry, possess or have any alcoholic liquor within the passenger area of any motor vehicle upon a highway in this State except in the original container and with the seal unbroken.

Mechanical Breakdow Insurance refuses to pay...?

Hi and thanks for taking time to help me out. I have bought a BMW 540i (1997) back in January. I was really happy as this was my first car. Two weeks ago, I was driving to France and my gearbox died leaving me only with the first gear working. I went to a garage in France and we phoned the insurance but the insurance said that it cannot guarantee that it would cover me. They offered me to leave the car in France and to go back to London by myself. I refused to consider this option as I could not allow my self to stay in France (I had to go back to work) for more than the week-end and I could not afford to take the train/plane from Paris to London. The insurer said that they would not cover any costs associated with me going back to London. So I had to get the car back to London, and to drive it back home. I went to a garage where a very nice person accepted to take care of the car. He phoned the insurance and arranged everything. The insurer sent some engineers who inspected the car and the insurance said to the garage that they would only cover 65% of the costs...due to the mileage of the car (83,000 miles roughly). The garage has repared the car without asking me if I was ok to pay the last 35% and the insurer did not mention it to me either. I am going to call the insurance tomorrow to get more details about this story...but my concern is that : 1/ I am afraid of talking to them and to commit a mistake that could cost me more 2/ I don't know exactly what I am entitled to get and what are my resources in case they just refuse to change anything on this 3/ They ask me to pay the money upfront (around 2,000) and then I would have to make a claime but...I don't feel confident doing this..and I am far from having this money... I am really looking for help and advice here, I hope that someone will be able to assist, Thanks a lot, and have a very good evening

Lil’ diesel back in action :-). After the race, we went to Key West for a few days, where the sun finally came out, but it was still chilly. Harumph!

I’m back…

I’m back from the edges of overtraining. I’m still pushing my edges – just not tipping over them.

I’m back into the thrill of the chase, and working that line between getting enough oxygen and going as fast as I can.

And, with my first 70.3 in almost 2 years, I’m back to races that begin and end on the same day.

I’m back, baby. I. AM. BACK.

You know what?

I kinda missed the shenanigans. 

Okay, I definitely missed it.

A lot.

While I did a few shorter races in the Fall, I didn’t really consider myself “back” until I did HITS Naples 70.3 on January 7.

Now I feel like I’m back in the Ironman game.

I originally chose this race because I dreamt of escaping the bitter reality of the New Jersey winter, by racing under sunny skies, in 70-something temps, with the warm breeze of the Florida gulf coast.

What I got was 25 mph winds, rain, and 55ish degrees.

That’s close enough, I guess, considering we had about 6-8 inches of snow at home, and blustery 20-something temps.

HITS Naples begins at Vanderbilt Beach, where the swim completes a counter-clockwise loop in the Gulf. The day before the race, the water was calm, blue and inviting (see the picture below, on the left). The morning of the race, it was dark, angry and hostile (see the picture on the right). In fact, we stood on the beach, looking outward to the horizon, and we could see lightning in the distance.

Hmmmm. Surely we aren’t going to swim with lightning?

Um, wrong. Surely we are. I want bonus #Hardcore points. Just saying.

As I stood on the beach, waiting for the start, I redirected the thoughts of total swim suckfest. I also tried not to think about the possibility of that distant lightning getting closer. I wasn’t really in the mood for electrocution. (Luckily, the storm stayed way off shore.)

Day before the race.

Race Day.

It’s quite a thing to go from days upon days of swimming in the warm, calm pool to thrusting yourself into the open water swells with a few hundred other people. When I say “quite a thing,” I mean a progression from “holy shit this is chaos,” to “okay, just do what you need to do to survive,” to “okay, I think I’m doing something that resembles swimming now” to “oh, thank goodness, last turn to the beach.”

The way out to the first buoy turn was rough, but it was manageable. The swells pushed from behind, but every once in a while, a rogue swell would come around, and deliver a mouthful of water. It occurred to me that once we turned to head back, it was going to be ugly.

And, it was.

It took me almost the whole swim quite a while to recruit my memory for swimming in rough ocean seas. Ocean? you say. But this was the Gulf, right? Okay, let’s agree on “ocean-ish”.

There were times I’d come around on the recovery, reach for the water, and got nothing but air because I was on top of a swell. Other moments, I timed the breath imprecisely and was greeted by steeples of white caps instead.

Ah, yes, the chaos of rough water.

Rather than continue slogging, I focused in. What do I need to do? 

This is an easy answer: RELAX. You really don’t get much by fighting current and wind (or gravity when on the road).

I pulled back on the effort, and took the time to figure out the pattern of the swells. They were coming in sets of mostly 3 to 6, although not perfectly because there were plenty of little choppy white caps. Even so, I knew after 3-6 sets of higher swells, there would be a lull. While the sea rested before pummeling us with another round, I took advantage of that moment to sight, to breathe, to push the effort until the next rollers came through.

And, with those adjustments, I was finally in the “something resembling swimming” phase.

My foot stepped back on the beach in 38 minutes – which is far from my best swim, but given the conditions and my lack of swim prep for this race, I was happy it wasn’t 45 minutes (which I feared when I was out in the abyss).

John was right on the beach, “You got this, Maria!”

“Uh-huh,” so convincing.

Try again: Yes, yes, of course, I do. I remember triathlon.

Off to transition, which was about 400 meters or so from the water – give or take, considering my utter lack of geographical awareness. All I know is that I had to run for a few minutes to get to my bike.

At this point, I didn’t have any idea how many women were ahead of me, but I gleaned from the chatter of others that it wasn’t that many – maybe 5 or 6. But, it was too early in the race to get involved with all of that…just yet.

The bike. Ah, my old nemesis. Here we are again, Rooby Roo. I am back, and you are still here.

Will we be friends today, old girl? I thought as I ran out of transition to the mount line.

I wasn’t exactly looking forward to this bike course. The day before, we drove the route and the majority of the course was on a busy highway. Ugh.

Yes, there was a bike lane, but that mere 3-4 feet of space and a painted white line is all that separated me from the pace of traffic rushing to get to the seemingly endless array of strip malls in Florida–not to mention the 18 wheelers that came in a progression. I hoped that Saturday morning traffic wouldn’t be as menacing as it was the afternoon prior. (For the record: it wasn’t as busy as Friday, but still more traffic than I like!)

The bike course took us along the highway, and eventually to some more country-ish roads for the final 20 miles or so. (Transition 2 and the finish line was about 30 miles away from the finish line.)

Tucking myself in as tightly as possible.

When I race, disciplined effort at the beginning is almost always the rule of the day for anything 70.3 or longer.

As I began the bike, I took note of how I felt. My HR was raging (likely due to the swim conditions added with residual impacts of a cold), and the effort felt a little strained. So, I decided to shoot just under my power target until I could feel my rhythm.

Eventually, I did. Over the course of the 56 miles, I steadily built my effort, and while cyclists passed me quite a bit in those opening 20 miles, I saw many of them again over the final 16 miles. Psychologically, that is always a good feeling–passing people in the final miles. It’s worth putting the ego in check when you start.

I came in to T2 at 2:39 – which officially makes this my fastest bike split by 5 minutes! But, to be fair, we had about 30 miles of tailwind, so that was a KEY factor. Judging by sustained watts, this was NOT my biggest power for 56 miles. Even so, the 2:39 is in the official results, so it’s not an alternative fact. ;-)

Into T2, the rain was still falling, and that suits me just fine on the run–no worries about the heat. I was in and out of T2 in a flash–I had work to do.

Four or five women passed me on the bike, and I focused on slowly reeling them back in – like I always have to do. Despite my fastest time, I was still NOT with the front bikers–they apparently had best-ever bikes, too. Tailwind!

The run was a basic out and back, along a bike path. For competition purposes, I like the out and back because you can count how many people are in front of you.

By the time I got to the turnaround, I had run myself into 3rd place female overall. As I ran back, I saw another female competitor BLAZING the run. I quickly realized I needed to step up my game in whatever way I could and try to hold her off as much as possible.

I managed to hold her off for almost 3 miles. She ran past me at mile 9 as if I were walking. After the race, I saw that she ran a 1:27. Um, yeah, so, yup. Nice run!

In the final mile of the run, I saw John, and he said there was a woman just ahead of me. I dug in as much as I could, and I could see the figure getting closer, and closer. Just before the finish, I realized, Hey! That’s not a woman – it’s a man! But, John’s comment did the trick to help me finish strong.

One mile from the finish. #PainCave

Steps from the finish! I can stop now :-)

I finished in 5:05:23, as the 4th place woman overall, 1st place AG, and 20th OA finisher (no, I didn’t catch the guy who was in front of me!). My personal best, set at Eagleman in 2013, was 5:05:15. That was the last year I raced IMLP, and I’m ready to return. I have a new set of big dreams, different from the last time, when my singular focus was to qualify for Kona.

So, yes, I feel like I’m making my way back.

In hindsight, I don’t think I realized at the end of the 2014 season just how much that 3-year journey to the big island took out of my body–and more so, my mind. While the last two years of racing have been incredibly fun for me, I did lose some of my fire. And, now, it’s back.

I can feel it starting to rage.

I’m heading back to where this Ironman journey began: Ironman Lake Placid. When I enter that magic sphere that is the Lake Placid Olympic Oval, I want to know that there is nothing else I could have done to go even one second faster.

Do I have other goals for that day? Yes. For now, they are super secret goals, so I’m not comfortable sharing them. They sound audacious enough when I utter them to myself. Best not to have you think I’ve gone truly crazy.

For now, just know that I am back, and I have not stopped believing. Not even once.

Our friend Bill (middle) also raced. It was his second go at the distance and he finished like a champ!

Yes, I’m a ham.

I’m Back: 2017 HITS Naples 70.3 Race Report I'm back... I'm back from the edges of overtraining. I'm still pushing my edges - just not tipping over them.
