Final Post (January 22, 2015)

Well, I’ve decided to finally pull the ol’ plug on WordPress.  I really, really am not a fan of the restrictions that they place on free accounts.  More than that, and after reading Harold’s thoughts about his moving back to Blogger/Blogspot (same thing), it made me realize that I definitely missed the Google blogging model.…

The Best is Yet to Come (12-28-15)

Hello everyone!  I hope all of you had a great holiday season; I know that I did! We went to my parent’s house for a week, which is always a great time.  Jodi LOVES being around her grandparents and great-grandparents, and my dad has taken a particular liking to Chloe (our dog), so the girls…

A case of the “mehs” (12-18-2015)

I haven’t really felt the urge to blog over the past week or so.  It’s not that anything negative has happened; it’s just been pretty uneventful.  It’s a case of the “mehs” hitting me hard.  I think I’m getting a bit burnt out on social media and always being connected, and I think that the…

Looking Forward (12/14/15)

The past few weeks have been…interesting, to say the least.  I’ve gained weight back, which is obviously never a fun feeling.  I’ve also felt a bit run down.  I haven’t felt sick, but I’ve just felt very “blah”.  I haven’t had much motivation to get up and workout out. I would normally attribute this to…

The Return of Music (12-10-15)

I’m going to keep things short and sweet with this post. I’m going to introduce music back into the blog. There are things that I want to talk about on here, and things that I think some of you would be interested in.  I hope you guys and gals can dig both sets of posts.…

A New Design (12-8-15)

I have been catching up on Harold’s blog, and it inspired me to look at my blog.  (By the way – go follow him at One Foot in Reality.)  I haven’t been overly enthusiastic about how my blog has looked, but I haven’t exactly known what to do with it. Well, after a few weeks of…

The Late 5K (12-7-15)

I ran a 5K last night. Not something I thought I’d be writing after how terrible my running has been since Thanksgiving…but I ran a 5K last night, and it was EXACTLY what I needed to get my ass back into gear. It’s been a tough month.  I’ve had a few gigs get cancelled last…

Taking the Plunge (12-3-15)

Today has been the first actual rest day that I have taken in over 3 weeks.  In fact, didn’t even put on athletic gear today; I just relaxed, played with my daughter, practiced a bit and watched Elf.  It was really quite nice.  I don’t normally do very well on rest days, but my body…

Over Analyzation (12-2-15)

This is the second post I’m uploading today…although it’s probably not going to be made live until early on the 3rd.  It’s not a super long post, but it’s one that I feel compelled to write about. We live in an era that is 100% reliant on our various forms of technology.  Most of us…

Damp Downtown Run (12-2-15)

Here’s the 1st of two posts for today. Tonight’s run was an interesting one, to say the least. With the news of two mass shootings, I didn’t want to be around people, or televisions with news stations that just show people screaming nonsense at each other for ratings sake, so I skipped the gym today…
