Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
I mentioned before that I am not an athlete. Yet the second half (so far) of my adult life has been filled with sports. I played indoor soccer for a decade. Volleyball filled several years prior to my stroke in 2010. At the time of the stroke, I was training to run a 5K. And... Continue Reading →
So, what’s the goal here? I believe that a lot of folks struggle with the whole diet/weight loss/exercise journey because we’re told to aim at the wrong goal. So, let me offer up my thoughts on where we should all be aiming. Right away, some folks will have an objection. We’re all in different places,... Continue Reading →
I am not now, nor have I ever been an athlete. Both my brothers can make the claim, but I’ve never been more than a weekend warrior/sports dilettante.

Still catching up on the year that was. While I continue to plan the year to come. My goal for this year on the bicycle was 1,000 miles. It was a bet with a friend and an ambitious one. I don't think I've put half that many miles on the bike in a given year. ... Continue Reading →
I am making some changes. Again. At the end of last year, things did not go the way I had hoped or planned. Having been working on my health and diet for several years, that didn't really surprise me. There are just more balls in the air at the moment. For the folks who have... Continue Reading →
This past year did not proceed as I anticipated. Or hoped. Or wanted. It did its own thing. As with any year, I had little choice but to go with what's given me. Last year at this time I set out my objectives for the New Year: No resolutions this year, just simple definable goals.... Continue Reading →
Been gone for awhile. Nothing bad has happened but a lot has happened. It just seemed like a good time to sit back and think about what's going on and where this blog fits. So here's where I found myself when all was said and done. I still have hopes for this blog that I... Continue Reading →
