It can be tough getting time alone with the one you love. Especially when that one you love has three children (they are great kids, by the way). So, when we had time without kids, you better believe we were going to make the most of it. And we...
With running, there is always fear of injury. We will spend hundreds of dollars on shoes. We will change our gait to minimize pain. We will even get a coach to teach us how to run and train to avoid injury. But one thing we always take for granted...
As you may have known from my previous posts, I was fat. I mean going-to-die-of-a-heart-attack fat. So I went on a program. I weight lifted and went on a high-protein diet. It worked like a dream. I lost weight, became stronger, was able to run and finished my first...
Time for Josie and I to go on another hike. I have worn my new boots at work so they were pretty much broken in. Josie had not worn hers since our last hike so I thought it was going to be Blister City for her. But blisters and...

I read an article today. It discussed the Pillars of Society and how they are being controlled by a certain political group of people (conservative or liberal in ideology. I will not say which). He believed that if these pillars were controlled by that group of people, it could...
When the movie “Don’t Breathe” came out, I have to be honest with you, I did not want to see it. There was just something about it that said, “Same old thing”. Yeah, yeah, yeah…victim becomes the predator. Whatever. I also thought it would require a little too much...
