Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
I've been thinking about moving the various items about places we visit and eat to their own posts. Since I am away this week at the Episcopal Youth Event, I thought I could insert the first one here. We have been exploring for a while. So I have a certain backlog of stories to share...

After a good week we have a week of challenge. I will be at the Episcopal Youth Event all this week, so no weigh in. The good news is that I'll be working and should get plenty of walking in. The bad news is that I'll surrounded by food intended to appeal to teenagers. But... Continue Reading →
A tiny bout of homesickness this week for the lady of the house and me. It's the week of Independence Day and we won't be in Mayville. In the last 25+ years I've missed the parade, well, never. I've been late a couple times when I had to leave Senior High Conference. But the parade... Continue Reading →
Yeah, baby! The knee has been better (not right yet, but better) and the eating has been with some discipline. And The Other Guy took a beating this week. I mean, TOOK A BEATING! Great way to head into the new month. My resolution remains : I want to am going to be The Guy... Continue Reading →
It's starting to feel like "home" in our new apartment. Pictures going up on the walls, almost all the boxes unpacked (last several are all my stuff and I have no idea where it's going to go.

This is so frustrating. Let me tell you about "The Other Guy". The Other Guy is my name for me when I was over 200 pounds. I was unhappy and out of shape. Clothes felt uncomfortable so I just wore them as baggy as possible. My body hurt and it was hurting. The blood tests got worse and worse... Continue Reading →
There are almost no unpacked boxes left in the living areas! Major achievement! We've even started hanging some art on the walls. It is beginning to feel like "our place". I think that unsettled feeling has begun to nag at both of us. Some upheaval at work. After some serious introspection one of our clergy... Continue Reading →
Yeah, well.... I've got nothing but excuses this week. Bad eating (is someone forcing you to eat this food? No. At the beginning of the day I think "Salad for lunch. No matter what". And then I eat something else. Excuse). I still haven't settled into a regular routine (Are you not eating on a... Continue Reading →
This second week seems to have flown by. The house is starting to come together, enough that we're thinking about having some people over. My office is coming together as well. Lots of things going on there as we all try and figure out just what this new job is going to be about. Had... Continue Reading →
I'm certain I should be doing better than this. At the same time, reality intrudes. The first week at a new job and in a new home are simply a challenge. There's no routine yet. There are unusual demands on my time. It's hard to get into a groove, to find that rhythm of life,... Continue Reading →
