    and you’ll get back to the car…, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I have never been more grateful than the moment when I asked him, “okay…where next?” and he said, “back to the truck.” My goal is to be able to be out for hours doing this…just not so many hills so soon.

  • because we can…

    because we can…, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Well, let’s add one more thing to things I have never done before. Mountain Biking. Unless of course you consider BMX racing in the mountains (not the same to me)…a million years ago. I uploaded the Olmstead to my Garmin for this weekends ride. (because this…

  • stupid smiling all day…

    I can’t remember a better Valentine’s day than last nights. Last year he made it clear what he thought of Valentine’s day and I made it clear that I heard him and understand and believe just like he does, but I needed it to be acknowledged. Last night made up for all the shitty Valentine’s…

  • Shit Trail Runners say…

    Well…this trail runner at least. Here are some of the things heard while trail running in 2011 and 2012. 1. LIFE FLIGHT! 2.  I’m making wrong choices. 3. Keep up, Catch up or Shut up. 4. I’m not good at crossing over streams on rocks, I just run through it. 5. Holy shit, that horse…

  • …much too young.

    For all of you that has read Random and Odd and held my hand while I battled through my Anxiety disorder, you’ll understand this.  Those of you that just got on the Random and Odd train, you’ll have to just play along. The first thing I hear on the news is Whitney Houston had xanax…

    take my hand., originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Today I am heading out to run with the ex’s. This is the first hike since Tabitha blew out her calf. We will be taking it slow as we have the Little Man with us and we know he can do up to 5 miles, but…

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.
