“Can I go to X?” is the question 2 Feet 2 Bucks has answered with “Yes” dozens of times, where X = place worth going out of your way to, to take a walk, short or very long. But “Can I go home after?” is, in a make-or-break sense, a more important question. I field-tested […]
At the time of this writing, it is 60 degrees and cloudy with the promise of summer’s arrival in the next few days. Like many of us, I am very much looking forward to warmer days to get out and do things, one of which is the annual Concert in the Park series coordinated by […]
Do you have runner dreams, but yearn for routine and/or social accountability? Are you “hardcore” or more of a walk-jogger who is just happy to be outside?

I’ve never known much about growing flowers. The few gardens I’ve started in my life ended all too unceremoniously, in death. And I’ve never known much about 3-D printing, either.
