The 1st Post

Inspired by the blog of a running buddy, I have decided to create my own. I am not exactly sure why, but hey, it can't hurt. Please feel free to visit the source of my inspiration here.

While Yvonne's blog is focused almost entirely on running (and now pregnancy), I doubt I will have ability to keep my rants, ruminations, ponderings, musings, insights (or lack there of) so narrowly directed. Kudos to Yvonne.

I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Josh Morphew. I am (currently) 28 years old. I live in Astoria, NY with my beautiful and loving wife Salena and our adorable, if sometimes misbehaved, Yorkshire Terrier named Harry.

I work in Midtown Manhattan for a web-based travel services publisher. I am an online direct response marketer and if you spend any time at all surfing the web you’ve more than likely seen my work. I am essentially a button pusher. A modern day e-factory worker. I like my job and more often than not, I like the people I work with.

In my personal time I enjoy running (I've completed three marathons), theater & the arts (when I'm feeling flush with cash and can afford the tickets), good wine (red, white or bubbly depending on my mood and/or the season more so than my entrée), good beer (Amber, IPA, Stout or Lager it doesn't much matter so long as quality is a key part of the brewing process) and spending time with family and friends (ideally in conjunction with one or more of the aforementioned).

For the moment, that’s about all I’ve to say. It’s time for some of that wine!
