• Compare, contrast, converge • [1½ MIN READ] On a recent European trip that it was my good fortune to experience, one of two runs I was able to execute took place in Köln (Cologne), Germany. Köln runs alongside of the Rhine River and so did I. The Promenade went out of town and, naturally, … More Running in Köln, Germany (#351: 2026’04’29’W)
• It’s a biblical reference. Nothing that weird, here. • [2 MIN READ] Executive Summary: This piece is an invitation for you to join my wife in her campus ministry work with me in mine. I parted ways with my job as an academic librarian in 2022 after 17 years. Maybe it was time, professionally. … More My Wife Is Joanna, Wife of Chuza
• Past and present • One of my reasons for writing on the open web is to make the writing about what I’m doing findable. There’s risk, of course. If an investigative sort wants to find anything defamatory, they’ll twist and contort anything they find to undermine my future political and prominent social aspirations. I … More Newest Content 2026
• Increasing overlap • [1½ MIN READ] The run 2 weeks ago (2026’03’25’W) brought together 2 Jenkintown School District alumni who’ve been with the Growlers Group Run variously, but never together (iCandybyWangC.com and elsewhere unless otherwise stated). It’s not like it was the first time they’d ever met — Jenkintown is a compact borough and … More Personal History (#349: 2026’04’08’W)
• What’s the debate? • [2½ MIN READ] One of our ACF guys has a twin sister. This means sis Jada and bro James are fraternal twins, dizygotic, i.e., ones that develop from 2 different eggs. Identical twins develop when a fertilized egg divides into 2, the halves containing the same genetic material. “Monozygotic” twins … More Identical Twins Are Always the Same Gender
• Works for me • [<2 MIN READ] I came across him doing online marathon-training research: Jeff Galloway. He died 25 February 2026 (at the age of 80), so I’m a little late to the keyboard, but he himself made a big deal out of slower (ostensibly) being plenty fast enough. I’m talking primarily about … More Jeff Galloway’s Run/Walk Technique (#217: ZY Weekly Newsletter 3/28/26)
• Connecting with SRC II • (ShawmontRunningClub.com, above [1½ MIN READ]) The best way to get to know Shawmont Running Club is by running with its members from the Zen Yanni Memorial Bench at the top of Forbidden Drive (ShawmontRunningClub.com, Google Maps). Another way is to browse the pages of the club website. This here … More One Illustrious Publication (#216: ZY Weekly Newsletter 3/21/26)
• What, exactly, does that mean? • [2½ MIN READ] I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of my declaration to people that I sprained the middle toe of my right toe — without moving (iCandybyWangC.com and elsewhere in this post unless otherwise indicated). Since so many people know that I’m a long-distance runner, they … More Be Careful (#214: ZY Weekly Newsletter 3/7/26)
• Isn’t every pose one or another? • [1½ MIN READ] Last week’s photo was a repeat from previous months and years, and, personally, I don’t love it; but someone suggested it and people liked the idea, so I got overruled. Democracy in action. The problem with it is that it washes some people’s faces … More Photographic Trope (#344: 2026’03’04’W)
• My non-traditional inaugural ministry letter • It’s traditional to send a donor recruitment letter at the start of new ministry work like mine with the Coalition for Christian Outreach @ Arcadia University (CCOJubilee.org, Arcadia.edu).
