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...

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...
