Relating to what can be seen, such as in photographs
• A better manager than photographer • [1 MIN READ] I swear that JRC Keith just wants to jerk my chain with his attendance photography. Sure, I can take the picture, but it’s more work for me to add myself to it when I’m the photographer. I want it to be an accurate representation of … More Keith, etc. (#370: 2026’10’21’W)
• Whether they’re worthy of it or not • [1 MIN READ] It’s nice not only when people pay attention to personality and preferences, but also when they choose to honor them. While I don’t expect much recognition from the other runners in the group, it’s nice when I get it. I do call myself … More Appreciating Some Expectations of the Attendance Picture (#369: 2026’10’14’W)
• For us at least • [½ MIN READ] CtCloser was itching to shake up the overrun menu. Pizza was to be the … balm of preference, but Pizza Wheel ceased operations. What about J-Town Market and Eatery? You’d think it would be the perfect place for someone named J’Adam, but he has parental responsibilities and … More A New Overrun Location (#365: 2026’09’16’W)
• Not everyone can do it • [1 MIN READ] Nico can be forgiven for doing doggy things. He breaks stride just long enough to urinate. Publicly. He weaves across the running path like a drunk. He growls at strangers. And the stick fetish. When he actually looks at the camera for the group photos? Cool. … More Meet Expectations (#360: 2026’08’12’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
• 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)
