Well, it’s been a few months since I finished my bike tour. I’ve done a little bit of running, a little bit of cycling, lots of drumming and piano and the smallest amount of weight lifting (think: strength training due to osteoporosis, not "Glen wants to be a body builder").

What is it with my knees? I hopped up on the treadmill today and ran/walked just over 6 miles. I wanted to go quite a bit further but at one point I started to pick up my knees higher. The moment I did that BAM! My right knee immediately started to hurt. I transitioned over [...]

I like to think of myself as one that follows the "green" philosophies. I drive a jeep (can’t afford an electric car), commute 35 miles one way and have a big house. These make my footprint on the planet bigger than I want it to be. But I watch for opportunities with solar and local [...]
