Me, give up on a prescriptive rule of grammar? Say it ain’t so.
Just read this today (via Flipboard on my brand-spankin' new iPad… thanks SendGrid!): "Logical punctuation: Should we start placing commas outside quotation marks?" http://www.slate.com/id/2293056/pagenum/all Which I initially opened in distaste, because this is one of my favorite niggling grammar rules[1], but by the end, I'd been convinced. While I still…
Ironman Coeur d’Alene: 6 weeks from yesterday.
Tuesday Swim: BAM workout. Remembered why I've been avoiding endurance athletes all summer. Annoying woman in my lane was short on etiquette and long on "questioning the coach's workout." Got worked on by Jess. Totally wiped out later, passed out and missed both the scheduled bikeride AND Games Night. Wednesday…

woot.woodardj Day 15: Wall-mounted Wine Rack
Here’s today’s giveaway! It’s a four-bottle wine rack (I think it’s from IKEA… which I’m pretty sure makes it at least twice as valuable here in Colorado) that mounts to a wall. Includes the hardware! Who doesn’t need more wine in their life?
woot.woodardj Day 14: Sushi Geta
I completely dropped the ball this weekend! To make up for it, everything this week is going to have to be more interesting. Possibly followed by another wootoff! Today’s giveaway is a pair of Sushi Geta. They were given to me by a friend and sensei as a housewarming gift,…
