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
Should we use food grains to create gasoline?
As someone who grew up in the farming community (dairyman's son), I have a passing acquaintance with some of the agricultural issues of the day. Thus I have heard the talk, back and forth, about the pros and cons of using ethanol from grain as an energy source. Which is why I found this video … Continue reading Should we use food grains to create gasoline?
A Blast of the Past #99: Geauga Lake
One of our favorite finds was Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom Park. Apparently Six Flags once owned an amusement park and water park at Geauga Lake, but ended up selling it to Cedar Fair, which kept the water park open but closed the amusement park, my assumption being that it was too close to Cedar Point … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #99: Geauga Lake

Blog milestones: are they significant
Today's post is a short one about the blog itself. In the past two weeks I hit two milestones, according to the notifications that WordPress gave me. According to WordPress, I received my 150th follower last week. My posts also received the 1,000th like that readers gave them. Now, those are not large numbers, but … Continue reading Blog milestones: are they significant
Fitness Update: Midway Point
What do I mean by midway point? I mean I have gotten through the first couple of races in the Kansas City Corporate Challenge -- the 5K and the (modified) half marathon -- and have one event at the track meet (don't know which one yet), the triathlon and swim meet yet. Before the Corporate … Continue reading Fitness Update: Midway Point

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Blessed be the Fountain of blood, To a wold of sinners revealed, Blessed be the dear Son of God -- Only by His stripes we are healed. Tho I've wandered far from His fold, Bringing to my … Continue reading #196: Blessed Be the Fountain
“The World Series is baseball…”
That is what started a very interesting lunch conversation I had today at Worlds of Fun. Unbenownst to me, the initial speaker had seen a poster behind me about "The World Series of Barbecue", and had used that to spark his initial statement. This led to a conversation about baseball, and how the World Series … Continue reading “The World Series is baseball…”
