This week I want to address the question of overdoing it? How does one know if one is overdoing it? And what does it mean to overdo it? This week I swam 2000 yards, ran 17 miles and biked 120 miles, so it isn't the total amounts of things I am talking about, but specific … Continue reading Fitness Update: Overdoing It

A Blast of the Past #92: India, Part 3
My stay in India in 2007 included the holiday of Diwali. As Wikipedia describes it: One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, it spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. Its celebration includes millions of lights shining on housetops, outside doors and windows, … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #92: India, Part 3

Today's post is coming late for a couple of reasons. Primarily because I was busy and didn't get to write one earlier, but also because I decided to do it on something that happened this evening.

One such observance, a part of lent in many traditions, is not saying/singing … Continue reading The disappearance of ‘alleluia’
Fitness Update: 1st place (of a kind …)
This week was the build-up to the Sham Rock and Run on Sunday. I started with 5K run on Monday along the streets around my house.

The Non-Post
And on the Fifth Day he rested.... Ever wonder why the week is 7 days long instead of 5? Yesterday I noticed that somehow in my advance scheduling, I had put three posts up on the same day. Not sure how I did that, but it didn't change anything I scheduled beyond that, so … Continue reading The Non-Post
