Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. I suddenly realized that we had done a whole bunch of exploring and I was falling behind. Part of the challenge in living in the Richmond area is trying to choose among all the various...

Well, it had to happen eventually. Amidst all the fun and games something bad had to happen. It was inevitable. The weather continues to be beautiful so I decided to get out and explore on Wednesday. I haven't had the bicycle up and running all year for one reason or another. So I inflated the... Continue Reading →
OK, back on track. Two things. I weighed myself on Friday just to check on the effect our weekends have on my overall weight. The difference was four tenths of a pound. Now to be fair this was one of our quietest, stay-at-home weekends. We did go exploring and did eat out so it's still... Continue Reading →
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. We haven't really had a good exploring adventure for a while. There's this whole "real life" thing that insists on getting in the way. The recent weeks posts about beer got me thinking about a... Continue Reading →
A lot of things are different between living in WNY and RVA. Some are just a little different, some are majorly different. The biggest change is simply a matter of scale. Certainly, that was something that we "expected". Moving away from a very small city in a largely rural county to to the 43rd largest... Continue Reading →
Sigh. I could kid myself this week. This could be another "Hey, a hold is a good week!" kind of weeks. The ones when I tell myself that not gaining any weight is an acceptable outcome. The problem is that this is supposed to be about weight LOSS. Reality says that I am 20-25 pounds... Continue Reading →
I went back and looked at the first two posts in this series and realized I had done a really crappy job in reviewing the beers. I've done more in depth stuff with wine and certainly more with my book and movie reviews (did you know I also have a media commentary blog? The View... Continue Reading →
What a week this has been! First and foremost, we are now a fully employed, Virginia family! Both the Kid and my Lady Wife now have jobs, both full time and with benefits. I can certainly attest that there was much rejoicing. I am slightly less sanguine about her Ladyship noting that now, for the first time... Continue Reading →
Well, it could have been worse. I knew last week was a potential problem. Add a full day conference, which are just diet landmines generally, plus we spent the weekend having fun and it could have been truly ugly. Instead it was a hold, no significant change. That's not awful. The real test is this... Continue Reading →
One of the new terms I need to learn is the IBU number for beer. That stands for International Bittering Units. It's a scale to determine just that, the bitterness of the flavor of the beer. Bitterness is an integral part of the flavor of beer. It's also one of the first things that puts... Continue Reading →
