Spent the evening after work swimming at Oceans of Fun. The wave-pool there has a 10-minute song cycle while the waves are running. Why am I mentioning that with a title "That Darn Cat!"? Because after the park closed, we came home and started watching the classic Disney movie -- which has a whole surfing … Continue reading That Darn Cat!
Author: Sir Rhodri
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.
Fitness Update: Track Meet
Today's update on fitness is about the KCCC track meet. That's most of what I did last week fitness-wise. I was scheduled for one night, the mile run on Tuesday. By the time the event attrition got done, I had run the 400 on Monday and the 100 on Wednesday as well. The track meet … Continue reading Fitness Update: Track Meet

A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
Today's post is a milestone of pictures. Been reflecting back through pictures for quite awhile to get to 100. So it seems appropriate that this milestone should feature something as important as a meeting of two Lightfoot branches. In the summer of 2008 the New York and Missouri branches met in Ohio. We stayed in … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion

Bike ride across America
Today's post is a short one, about a story I saw on the Houghton College Facebook feed, about four students, recent graduates, who are biking across America. This blog follows their journey, which started in mid-May. I haven't had a chance to barely read any of it, since I came across it over the weekend, … Continue reading Bike ride across America
Fitness Update: or lack thereof
Today's post is late because I've been feeling both off and lazy from the fitness perspective. Muscles fatigued with no exertion to explain. Sinus switch from weather switch. So I didn't do much fitness workouts last week. The weekend was getting as much rest as possible. Which seemed to do some good, though not complete … Continue reading Fitness Update: or lack thereof
#198: There Is Power in the Blood
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Would you be free from the burden of sin? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Would you o'er evil a victory win? There's wonderful pow'r in the blood; CHORUS There is pow'r (there is … Continue reading #198: There Is Power in the Blood
