Relating to what can be seen, such as in photographs
• 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
• Literally • [1 MIN READ] Last week, the theme for the picture was the store’s seating. The lot of us guys (only) plunked ourselves down, took the Attendance Photo, and put our Jenkintown-5K-route theme into action: forward (iCandybyWangC.com and elsewhere unless otherwise stated). Someone’s never much felt the need to be pictured.(Cw from left: … More Benched (#345: 2026’03’11’W)
• 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)
• It’s time for someone(s) to clean up their act • [1 MIN READ] It’s difficult to know who to blame for last week’s Attendance Picture, me, Keith, or everyone else (iCandybyWangC.com and elsewhere). For the second time in 3 weeks, it took a turn for the worse. For my part, I suggested the crouching … More Photo Dump (#343: 2026’02’25’W)
• Talking about death and near death as we were • [1½ MIN READ] We arrived at the store for the 2nd week to find Sammer behind the cash register. (All links are to this iCandybyWangC.com website unless otherwise stated.) He loved the Growlers so much that he wanted to be on the serving side … More We Were All Sober (#340: 2026’02’04’W)
• But I made it too easy • [1 MIN READ] “Hey, Calvin, check out these leopard-skin tights! You could wear them.” “You’re right! They’re awesome! Who couldn’t use a pair of leopard-skin running tights?” And so the conversation went. Or some variation of it. They were on the discount rack at the running store … More She Did Me Wrong, Stacey Did (#319: 2025’08’27’W)
• To arms • [3 MIN READ] Last week we had to say goodbye to a Growler who made a big impression on the club in a little period of time. Jackie was a club newbie a mere 14 months ago and she got us right away. Not only did she arrive with comfortable running … More Farewell and Hello (#311: 2025’06’04’W)
• And the conundrum • [1½ MIN READ] After last week’s Cerebrun, the question to Stacey was, “Did you read it?” Given that it was about her in name and subject matter suggests that the answer had to be a yes. The prompt was that Stacey admitted never clicking on the “Read more” link to … More The Stacey Resolution (#309: 2025’05’21’W)
• And the solution • [2 MIN READ] Stacey is at the heart of a conundrum. After a particular absence by me from one week’s run—during which she took the requisite attendance photo—I learned that she doesn’t like them anyway. To accommodate her dislike, I suggested upon my return that she take the photo, that … More The Stacey Conundrum (#308: 2025’05’14’W)
• A polarizing foray into a non-political matter • [1½ MIN READ] As a former academic librarian, I can do information pretty well. This Cerebrun is a case in point. Retroactive to publishing the 04’09’W Cerebrun, I created a GIF of me finishing the featured DE Marathon and posted it after the fact. I couldn’t … More A Pronounced Occurrence (#305: 2025’04’23’W)
