Fitness Update

This past week was a rest week. I did the requisite biking for commuting, but other than that, I pretty much slept until time to get up for work, and went to bed early. My sleep numbers looked good. I did finally feel rested about Saturday, when the work week was done -- go figure. … Continue reading Fitness Update →

Technology Day

Today has been a technology day. At this point it has ended on a positive note, though it didn't begin there. I woke up, took the dog for a walk with the bicycle, and then came back to check my e-mail. I needed to print a document so I could sign, scan and return it. … Continue reading Technology Day →

A Blast of the Past #121: Hannibal

Here are the pictures from our 2009 stop … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #121: Hannibal →

Halloween or Winterfest?

With today being Halloween, I thought I would post some photos of the final day of the Haunt season at Worlds of Fun. I will start with a video of one a great new live show they had in the International Plaza: The Skeleton Crew. But the rest of the pictures are a lot more … Continue reading Halloween or Winterfest? →

Fitness Update: dangers of fitness

Another 70 miles this past week finished the October cycling mileage quota. One run: a 5-mile back and forth on the Cliff Byway during a cool early morning. One run-in with the side-view mirror of a delivery van. Wednesday I turned the corner on a yellow light, he went through the light when his light … Continue reading Fitness Update: dangers of fitness →
