Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego, California
The 10th Annual Rock n’ Roll Marathon will take place this Sunday in San Diego, California. Now, I won’t be running 26 miles at any time unless someone is chasing me. But if you’re going to run a marathon, this is a cool one. Besides the regular marathon fans (whoever they may be) the streets of San Diego will be lined with more than 40 live musical acts for the runners enjoyment. I bet at least one band will come up with some alternative version of Eye of …

The next time you’re looking to land that next big account, entertain clients, or customize a retreat for …

Illoiha Climbing Wall
The Illoiha Climbing Wall is an interesting take on an indoor climbing wall, which I recommended in the past as a good way to get a little exercise on the road.
What is it? Well, the Illoiha Gym-Spa in the Omotesando district of Tokyo has a climbing wall with things like picture frames, bird cages and [fake, I hope] animal heads rather than the standard multi-color nubby hand holds.
You know what I think? I think this could be your Christmas photo next year. Just …
