Lou on blip.fm. Lou Pickney's Online Commentary. April 9, 2015. In roughly a month and a half, I'll be saying goodbye to Columbus and returning to Nashville, quite possibly once and for all.

Speaking of Columbus, I've got roughly two months to go on my apartment lease. It's been such a strange dynamic for me here. I love the city, great people and plenty of fun things to do. But I don't have many running buddies. I've got some friends from Fight Club. Better times are ahead. Hopefully. I hit the grocery store a...

Lou on blip.fm. Lou Pickney's Online Commentary. May 24, 2015. The last several days have been a whirlwind for me, a crazy schedule of packing and moving and driving and even running. But, after considerable effort, I'm now moved into my new home in the suburbs of Nashville. We managed to load up the truck quicker than I had anticipated. I really. My friend Jen, who I worked with in Columbus and who now works as a reporter for a TV station here in Nashville, talked me into taking part. Her running bu...

Class of 1995 had its 20-year reunion at the Pour House, a restaurant/bar in the Gulch area of downtown Nashville. It was great seeing old friends, some who I literally hadn't seen since graduation.

As I type this, temperatures are in the single digits here in the greater Columbus, Ohio area. To say that I miss the mid-70 temps that I enjoyed during my trip to Miami Beach would be a major understatement.

Unlucky Hardway
http://www.loupickney.com/comm/2015/6-2-2015.shtml
Lou on blip.fm. Lou Pickney's Online Commentary. June 2, 2015. There is a term in the pro wrestling business called a lucky hardway. A phrase for when a wrestler accidentally gets busted open during a match.
