13.1. Halfway there. | Verisimilitude
https://sedders.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/13-1-halfway-there
Veering around the believable. Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:31 pm in Uncategorized. I ran 13.1 miles on Tuesday. After a ten mile run in my minimalist Merrill Barefoot. Shoes, I wasn’t sure my calves could handle a long run (I was in my old, now-very-clunky-feeling sneakers) so I set out with an indeterminate goal, but a hope for the 13.1. My calves and hip hurt (more on the hip later), so I was almost a full minute mile slower than usual, but I did it. But are you ready to do that twice? Tri for a Cure. You are c...

Tooth Fairy | Verisimilitude
https://sedders.wordpress.com/2009/01/24/tooth-fairy
Veering around the believable. Sat Jan 24, 2009 5:53 pm in dentist. 8220;But I’m a teacher,” I cried. I can’t talk properly without a front tooth. My dentist held firm. If the tooth came out, I would be spending my days with a gaping whole in the front of my smile. My bad luck didn’t end there. It was the end of the year, and the oral surgeon was jammed with people trying to get in before their deductibles renewed in January. The nearest appointment was six weeks away. Yawn* Stretch*.Well, Hello There.

Veering around the believable. Tri for a Cure. Wed Feb 10, 2010 8:12 pm in Uncategorized. I have never done anything like this, so please excuse me if I ramble and bumble along as I try. I have always felt very lucky to never have had cancer affect my life. I saw ads, heard heartbreaking stories, but of all the affliction life brings us, cancer never seemed to be one of them. I was wrong. Thank you for your time. Yawn* Stretch*.Well, Hello There. Tri for a Cure. Air France Flight 447. More Hip Than Hippie.

So whatchya been up to? | Verisimilitude

Veering around the believable. So whatchya been up to? Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:15 am in Buddhism. Recently, when meeting up with friends I haven’t seen in awhile, I’m asked this question. It’s never been a hard question for me, I’ve always been moving somewhere, getting a job, going on a trip, starting something new. Sometimes I feel like I should be doing more. Have I become complacent? Dare I say…. I recently finished reading Light Comes Through. These days I’ve been focusing on just enjoying what is...

https://sedders.wordpress.com/2009/04/04/meme-from-the-great-beyond
Veering around the believable. Meme from the great beyond. Sat Apr 04, 2009 7:49 pm in blogging. A big thank you to Potential and Expectations. For helping to rouse me from an unplanned hiatus. March is the hardest month of the school year and I haven’t been on the internets much lately; even my facebook and twitter updates are suffering. What are your middle names? Mine is Hart – it’s my mother’s maiden name. Shall I post my social security number whilst I’m at it? How long have you been together? Well,...

Air France Flight 447 | Verisimilitude
https://sedders.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/air-france-flight-447
Veering around the believable. Air France Flight 447. Fri Jun 05, 2009 8:31 am in life. Two days ago I woke up to the news that Air France flight 447 had gone missing over the Atlantic. Like most, my reaction was immediate, visceral. How tragic, how scary, how nightmarish for all involved. I feel terrible sadness for the victims and families, but — to be blunt–why is this such news? Nearly 150,000 people in this world die each day, why must we such attention and grief be given to these select few? What i...

Veering around the believable. Yawn*….*Stretch*….Well, Hello There…. Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:45 pm in me. It’s been a long time. I’ve wanted to return, I’ve wished I’d returned many times, but inertia has always won. But when I told my students “I write” I realized that unless you count short emails and facebook updates, I certainly don’t write. I need to write more, so I’m back. In the time I’ve been away, I’ve lost another tooth. Had knee surgery. Given up gluten. Gone on a juice fast. Tri for a Cure. You a...

cult of mediocrity | Verisimilitude
https://sedders.wordpress.com/cult-of-mediocrity
Veering around the believable. As a middle school soccer coach, I strive to make winning not the focus — instead it’s all about making the players feel valued and preaching that it’s how you play the game that’s most important. What is so wrong with being the smartest, most intelligent candidate? Why do candidates now have to. Their intellectual power, take off the tie and pretend to be not-smart and not-successful? When did this become a qualification to be president? Instead of celebrating natural tale...

Veering around the believable. Sun Mar 08, 2009 5:31 pm in twitter and facebook. Tags: twitter and facebook. Two months ago…. Veri-husband: I’ve just joined twitter. Me: We’re all going to be glued to giant screens soon. One month ago…. Reading his twitter updates. Stephen Frye has touched down in California. Me: Who cares what mundane things people do all day? Veri-husband: It’s amazing, Frye had only 600 followers when I joined, but now it’s in the thousands. You mean. (. Tri for a Cure. Yeah, facebook...
