From the Mind of Murph: March 2015
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2015. For the last few years I have been ashamed to be called an American, but I have never been more ashamed as I am right now. On Monday, 47 GOP senators signed a letter to the leaders of Iran, informing them that all of the negotiations that have been going on between them and the Obama White House may be for naught, because the GOP may shut down any agreement. So my question is, when the Hell did the GOP side of the Senate become the head of State? I am only one voice, and a voice ...

From the Mind of Murph: Going to get Political for a Second
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2014/10/going-to-get-political-for-second.html
Thursday, October 16, 2014. Going to get Political for a Second. Our country is broken. Members of congress couldn’t agree on the color of the sky if the lives of each and every American depended on it, the President couldn’t make a clear decision on the flavor of his morning yogurt if the polls were leaning away from dairy, and the votes of the people don’t count if they don’t agree with the opinions of some judge with an agenda. I don’t know any other way to say it. Give the members of congress one sho...

From the Mind of Murph: Foul Weather Running
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2014/11/foul-weather-running.html
Tuesday, November 04, 2014. In 2013, I was training for the Ogden Marathon. Since it occurs early in the spring, I was obligated to train all winter long. I remember my first training run for that race. It was only 3 miles, but it occurred in a driving snow storm, my shoes crunching in the fresh powdery snow. I remember looking at my teammates, and thinking, “We’re a bunch of lunatics.”. The training that season kind of proved that, indeed, we were lunatics. So I know running in foul weather. Just beyond...

From the Mind of Murph: To Go, or Not to Go... that... is a good question.
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2014/08/to-go-or-not-to-go-that-is-good-question.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. To Go, or Not to Go. that. is a good question. I’ve been contemplating going back to school. Years ago, twelve, to be exact, I graduated from University with a BA in English. I’m happy that from time to time I get to use it at work, to proof read response letters, write copy for our company website, or to answer the odd grammar question. Is it, your an idiot, or you’re an idiot? 8221; I decided that it was time that I used my degree for something other than wall décor. Century, ...

From the Mind of Murph: Where to go now that Team in Training is gone.
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2014/07/where-to-go-now-that-team-in-training.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Where to go now that Team in Training is gone. I have so many things going on in my head right now, so forgive me if I get to rambling with no coherent thoughts. I’m involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, primarily through Team in Training. It’s a long story as to why, but I love the program, I love the people, I love meeting on Saturday Mornings to push and pull each other along on a grueling “long run” as part of marathon or half-marathon training. I even love the hand...

From the Mind of Murph: Long Overdue Update
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2014/07/long-overdue-update.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2014. I knew that it had been a while since I posted to my blog, but February! I do have a great excuse though… want to hear it? Too bad… I’m going to tell you anyway. I’ve been writing a research paper on the literary origins of the Holy Grail. This is what English Majors do for fun when not in school.). Actually we’re really not sure how old some of the Mabinogian texts really are. So… forgive me if my blogging has suffered. My daughter B is doing well on her mission. Ragnar) and it...

From the Mind of Murph: July 2015
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. I Can't Say the Pledge of Allegiance. The 4th of July is a week passed, and I'm pretty sure that most of the country is still sobering up, so, I thought that it was time for me to admit a truth about myself. I don't salute the flag, I will not recite the pledge of allegiance, and while I will stand for the singing of the national anthem, I stand with my hands behind my back. Does this make me un-American? My reasons are varied and complicated, but in essence, they are as follows:.

From the Mind of Murph: December 2014
http://mindofmurph.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 05, 2014. Review of the Zombies Run! I’ve always had a very active imagination; little movie scripts going off in my head while I’m doing, seemingly, mundane things. Like. well. let’s just say that the world inside my head is a whole lot more interesting than the actual world. So, I started running, and have kept it up in various degrees for the last 6 years. It was accompanied by this YouTube video. After watching their film… I had to have this app! They had to have it for Android right?
