Twitter is Great

I talk about how much I love Twitter so much you’d think I own stock. I’ve convinced at least a half dozen people over the years to try it and they’ve almost all fallen in love with it. Not because they like Tweeting, but… Continue Reading “Twitter is Great”

Where is the Starting Line?

I’m big on New Year’s Resolutions. In fact, I like resolutions so much, I invented mid-year resolutions that happen on July 1st. And last year, I even executed my first Fall Resolution which included my finding a new job and focus.  But why stop… Continue Reading “Where is the Starting Line?”

Mindfully Approaching Lent

  I’m not sure who invented Lent, but I’ve come to think of it as the first 40-day Fit Plan, or the original “boot camp.” Seems like the bookstores (or Amazon self-help) has a new book or craze and they always are written around… Continue Reading “Mindfully Approaching Lent”

Yoga

Had an odd weekend recently. I turned down a night out drinking and grilling with some old buddies and, instead, went to a hot yoga class on Sunday morning with some lady friends. Makes sense I’d blog about this, right? Granted, it wasn’t a… Continue Reading “Yoga”

Shelf Elf in the House

It’s official. We have a Shelf Elf. Not sure why I have resisted this year after year, but I’m sure I had my irrational reasons. And I’m sure they were great irrational reasons. The biggest thing was, well, probably laziness. Every night? I gotta… Continue Reading “Shelf Elf in the House”

Puppy Approval

For probably the last 5 years I’ve been known as “the meanest Dad, ever,” because I wouldn’t authorize the addition of a dog to our family. But it was with good reason. From about 2000-2006, we had a dog.  While I owned that dog… Continue Reading “Puppy Approval”
