We have been making a concerted effort to become healthier in both food and lifestyle and yesterday I realized why more people don’t do it. Because it’s hard. Not only that people and organizations do not think about the bigger picture. Here are two examples of why it is hard: Miss Nella has a keen [...]

Quest For Fitness, Part 439
Every few months I say, “I wanna get fit” and then I come up with a great plan. Last time I bought time at the gym and prepaid for a bunch of classes (bootcamp, etc). I even went for a while to the gym once or twice a week and then a class once or [...]
100 Things Blog Go-Round

Started your own blog Slept under the stars Played in a band Visited Hawaii Watched a meteor shower Given more than you can afford to charity Been to Disneyland Held a praying mantis Climbed a mountain Sang a solo Bungee jumpe Visited Paris Watched a lightning storm at sea [...]
Big Changes Are Coming
I’m fat. Not fat, fat, but significantly pudgier than I want to be. I knew I was getting quite out of shape, but it didn’t really hit home until I weighed myself at the gym (you know, the one I was going to go to twice a week) and saw 186 lbs on the display! [...]
Working from home…in a new home?
The two most interesting things that are going on right revolve around our house and my career. Our house is still for sale and our purchase agreement on the other house will end tomorrow night at midnight. Our plan is to let the agreement lapse, lower the price of our house and keep it on [...]

Most of the interior issues are resolved with only either really minor things (light fixtures, etc) or some major ones that need some fiscal planning (W/D, new flooring, etc). And we recently made [...]
Still…
No meaningful (ha, as if they were ever meaningful!) updates in a long time. I suck. Saying I have no time is a lousy excuse…there’s always time for something you want to do. More likely is that my life has nothing exciting going on right now…still unemployed..still have two wonderful children and one wonderful wife…still [...]
The Third Thing?
You know how they say bad things come in threes? First I got laid off last week. Then our car started to sound funny when accelerating and we may have coolant leak into the engine. And tonight I think the 3rd thing happened…our kitchen freezer seemed to stop working. I hope that there was just [...]
Where does the time go?
I just took a look back and discovered that my last real post was the beginning of February? What the heck? It turns out that at a “real” job, one must actually work all day! No longer can I work on my website or play Facebook Scrabble all day. Now I have to call people [...]
