This past week was good on running, 2 5K distances outside and a quantity of cycling miles. I managed to not get up early to go swimming any day yet -- my sleep is still short -- but I need to rectify the swimming gap sometime soon. But what I do want to talk about … Continue reading Fitness Update: calorie counting
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.
#163: Open My Eyes, That I May See
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Open my eyes, that I may see Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me; Place in my hands the wonderful key That shall unclasp and set me free.

The Smartcast Tablet
I mentioned in my post about buy our new television that we couldn't use the smart TV functions because our tablets didn't have the right version of android. But since we didn't really need those functions, we decided to go ahead and shop for new tablets that did have the right version, but to wait until … Continue reading The Smartcast Tablet
A Blast of the Past #82: Easter Fun 2007
Or so I presume. Looking at these there must have been some Easter Egg hunt with bouncy house around that we went to, and face painting.
Groundhog Day
We always observed Groundhog Day growing up. It was my paternal grandmother's birthday. I was thinking of my grandmother today. Between the holiday, and a recent spate of Amazon TV -- Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman -- she came to mind again. Dr. Quinn is a fun show with message fiction about a female doctor making … Continue reading Groundhog Day

Don’t dig out your drive twice
Today is a short video post (hopefully it comes through for everyone) showing a moment of creativity. We rarely get snow where I live now, and even rarer is seeing a plow on our street. But when the plow does come through, it invariably blocks our driveway with snow that we have to shovel again. … Continue reading Don’t dig out your drive twice
Fitness Update: Running
Well last week I did one thing: I ran three days a distance of 5K. One was outside in the cold. I took that relaxed. The other two were in the wellness center on a treadmill. Both of the latter I took at 24:30 and 24 minutes respectively. So in good conditions I can do … Continue reading Fitness Update: Running

Organization: The Kitchen, Part 2
About 13 months ago I put up a post about reorganizing the kitchen. We've been in the house 13 years, and the kitchen had never been reorganized, though our lifestyles had changed. Today I made the first significant change to the kitchen since that day 13 months ago. The kitchen has been more serviceable, but … Continue reading Organization: The Kitchen, Part 2
