I think I am tagging my swimming the same way each time. This time it told me I only swam 950 yards -- must have … Continue reading Fitness Update: On track by hitting the street

Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

A simple ride … becomes a tour of the city

So today, after work, I'm looking for something to post. And I thought, Why not appropriate/promote something related to Lent? So here it is, the promotion of our church's … Continue reading Lent

Fi tness Update: Tech vs. Flesh

I'm not sure exactly what settings caused this. But I also learned that the Speedo Fit app that I could … Continue reading Fi tness Update: Tech vs. Flesh
