• the view from my run

    the view from my run, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I decided to go trail running on Friday. Lester gave me the news about the school shooting and it just felt like someone kicked me in the stomach. Facebook was filled with shock, sadness and promises of prayers and outpouring of support. I turned…

    DSC_8753, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Got an email from a reader asking if I really blocked someone for putting an Gnome on my facebook wall. He had blocked someone for putting a picture of the “hey Vern’ guy and after some thought decided it was a bit harsh and unblocked him. He suggested…

  • The ongoing debate!

          Well, it’s not an ongoing debate with me, because I have known all along that those damn things were face eating creatures. They are like something out of a Dr. Who episode when those cubes tried to take over the world. People had them in their houses and low and behold they…

  • WHO KNEW!?

    BAM! like that!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Went out running with Birdie and Victoria through Rocklin’s street of holiday lights and the first mile or so was my normal speed…then I decided to pick it up a notch to run at Birdie’s pace and holy shit balls! I didn’t know I could run…

    Reindeer Run 2012, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. This Team run was started as Victoria’s graduation run because it was near her home. It quickly turned into a team run where we had fun dressing up and being goofy…thanks to Birdie. She can turn any run into a fun run. Lester, Birdie and Bonnie…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
