What a great day it has been for me. It began at 4:30 this morning!  I set off on a 5 K run. All was going quite well. At the half-way point I decided to continue a bit more and make it a full 4 mile run--after all it would only be another .8 mile.  As I approached the two mile point,... read more »

What a beauty!! Growing up, I had always thought of motorcycles as "donorcycles". As the gas prices went up a short while back, I was concerned about my Jeep Wrangler's 11 mpg drinking problem and started to consider a motor cycle as a cost effective alternative. I found and bought a Honda Shadow Spirit (750cc) and fell in love with riding... read more »

Here's to wishing you a very Merry Christmas!! (If you choose to celebrate.) Otherwise happy holidays to you... read more »

Here we are, mid December already.  Where has the time gone?  It seems like we just had Christmas.  Didn't we?  At any rate, I have been going through the motions this year.  Attempting to act excited (or even interested, for that matter.) So far it has produced minimal results.  Not sure what it is that is keeping me from truly enjoying... read more »

Any of you with children of your own, know the drill.  You work hard to teach the young ones to make good choices and prepare them to make the tough ones.  When they are young you play a VERY active role in that process.  As they mature you (some times reluctantly) have to step back and let them flap their... read more »

(My Alma Mater.)  We had a great time talking during the 10 hour drive up and back, and during the hotel stay.  Discussing hope and dreams!!  Talks like that really give me hope for our future.  Another son, Jordan, is turning... read more »
