A couple of weeks before Christmas I set a two week goal for myself. I didn’t post it until about one week before Christmas, but I had started out with the goals around mid-December. They included working out somewhat specifically during that time period, logging...

I’m Part Of The Problem. So Are You.
We’ve been angry at one another for a long time. It’s been building since at least the 2000 election and became intense during the Obama administration. We have divided ourselves into factions. No one really asked us to, at least initially, we did that all...

We love second chances. We cheer for the underdogs in just about any situation. As a general rule, most of us want to put our pasts in the past and become someone better. Somehow, the beginning of the calendar year is when we decide to...

I’ve been extremely busy lately and haven’t taken time to write down any of the multiple thoughts I’ve had for posts in any way. I’m doubtful that I’ll have an opportunity to do so again between now and November 3rd and wanted to just jot...
