Muddy Buddy

Matt and I raced the Muddy Buddy in Dallas last weekend. The partner race concept was cool: we shared one mountain bike between the two of us. Matt started the race riding it, and I started out running. About 1.5 miles into the 6-7 mile race, Matt reached an obstacle: a big inflatable. He climbed the cargo net to the top and slid down the slide on the other side. Then he started running, leaving the bike behind. Once I came and completed the obstacle, I jumped on the bike and rode. I passed him just before he reached the next obstacle, where we swapped out again.

So we leapfrogged through the entire race until we arrived at the final obstacle, which had to be completed as a team: the namesake obstruction, a 30-yard mud pit through which we had to crawl.

I had a blast, and we placed really well, too. Check out the photos, especially the aftermath of the mud pit. Look for the mud showing in our teeth when we smile. So fun!

Mr. Big Stuff

Filmed back in September, this video was directed by the up-and-coming Fletcher "F-bomb" Ash. Experience the joy of an interview gone well, set to the tune "Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight. Indulge me in some serious narcissim.

In addition to my cheeseball moves, this video highlights some of the Magic City's suburbs: Homewood and the Villages (English, Crestline, and Mountain Brook).

Chez moi

As promised, pictures of my abode. As I've been saying, it's the nicest place I've lived since Mom and Dad's house: Nicer than Broun Hall, nicer than FarmHouse, and nicer than beloved albeit dilapidated residence as an upperclassman. So I guess I haven't told you very much about the quality of house I live in. Check it out.
My little office space. What do you think of it?















Living room.
























Kitchen. Granite!



















Tiny bathroom! It's like a portal to England.
