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 [...]

Before going on you need to understand that every single day of my bike tour was fantastic, every single one. But today was just one step above the rest. It was long and hard and absolutely fantastic! For a good part of yesterday, being a rest day, I spent it looking at maps, calculating miles, [...]

Tonight I was asking Alex if he liked breakfast this morning. With the divorce and two residences it’s been tough on him so we’ve been tracking stress levels together and making adjustments. So I asked him if he liked the pancakes and what the stress level was for breakfast. He said the stress level was [...]

A week (or more) ago I had written up another entry about my bike tour, and it was one of the longer entries. Then I hit the submit button and it was eaten on transit, never to be seen again. I do not do well when a “brain dump” of information is lost; it is [...]

This evening I watched a show about water shortage, and not just what “might happen” but what’s already happening. I highly recommend it. It makes me wonder if my [...]

Sometimes we humans (particularly the males, I think) need to blow off some steam and play “warrior”. We picked up a Nerf dart weapon set and went at it for about an hour (possibly more) yesterday night. The entire house became a battle zone and I found that sometimes I’m just a little bit afraid [...]

A couple of boxes, three rolls of black duct tape, a cardboard tube and a bit of time while Alex and friend shot up the house with his latest Nerf weapons and I’m ready for the company contest tomorrow. If all goes well the rest of the guys I work with will also be "box" [...]

I’ve been hopping up on the treadmill a little bit lately and after following the guidelines in Evolution Running (borrowed from a friend) and with the Born To Run audiobook still running through my mind, I’m finding that I’m enjoying running again. The other night I ran at 6 mph (level grade) for just under [...]

Last night Alex read more than 63 pages in one sitting of one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. And that’s after we had spent about 45 minutes reading together. He’s a reading machine, something I couldn’t be happier about.
