Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
(Sifting through an old blog that I no longer maintain and found some older posts I still rather like. I'll share them periodically in the months to come.) Originally posted October 30, 2003 (Over a decade later, Mike's words continue to inspire and challenge me) Just heard the news that Mike Yaconnelli died yesterday in... Continue Reading →
October 26, 2010 The day I had my stroke. A subarachnoid hemorrhage, to be precise. I've linked to everything I've written on the subject below. In the future I will probably just link to this post, again and again. Why linger on this, when I have recovered fully? Because this is the end of... Continue Reading →
Nothing like a good number to start you off for the day. Deuces are wild! The exercise regime is improving too. Still not getting out as often as I want (three times this week) but just being consistent is a HUGE improvement. A week ago I did the full distance I'm training for... Continue Reading →
Yeah, sudden gaps inevitably mean that things aren't going well. The number down at the bottom isn't good at all. I'm really struggling with my eating at the moment. But I've decided to focus on those things that are working well. My training for the 5k continues. Just the fact that it's still going... Continue Reading →
Running a little late but I didn't want to get into the habit again of missing a post. Another mixed signals week. But I think I'm OK with that this time. The number down at the bottom there isn't headed in the right direction. It is only a minor fluctuation so I'm not going to get... Continue Reading →
I posted last week about hanging out and watching the World Championship bicycle races here Richmond. Then late last week I saw another portion of the race on TV. Suddenly there was this great desire to get back on my bike. I have only ridden once in the year plus that we've lived here. I... Continue Reading →
OK, so this has been a couple of weeks coming. Walked straight into a major stress event at work. Stress is not my friend. In general or in terms of trying to fix the issue at hand. I was hanging on by the tips of my fingers (at least that's how it felt) and didn't... Continue Reading →
I have been a cyclist (on and off) since college back in the '70s. I enjoy the exercise (one of the few times I can say that) and it's a great way to explore a larger area than I can easily walk. So it was kind of exciting to hear that the World Cycling Championships... Continue Reading →
This post originally appeared on a blog I no longer maintain. It's been sitting in my files. Today is a day to remember. (I posted this originally in 2007. In the intervening years we've lost Lee as well. So this year it becomes a tribute to the 9/11 victims and my friend) I saw that... Continue Reading →
You may have noticed I was missing last week. The plan was that the post would be a little late, but then real life intervened. It was interesting. Last weekend involved a trip for me that chewed up all of Saturday and about half of Sunday. At least that was the plan. The... Continue Reading →
