Where your intrepid, irregularly posting blogger writes of his ouchie

Last month, I had a vasectomy – and while I read TONS of “what to expect” posts online, they were all written by urologists. It’s all great to get a doctor’s explanation of “what to expect”, but I found very few “this is what it was like” from a “normal guy1” postings. Birth control is… Continue reading Where your intrepid, irregularly posting blogger writes of his ouchie

Where I start a new workout plan

Hey everyone – it’s me! You know, that goofy guy who pretends to write every now & then! Well, I’m still around. Obviously, I’m not writing as much as I once did. Simply, other things have taken precedence in the hierarchy of priorities in my life. These days, if it’s not actively ensuring the welfare… Continue reading Where I start a new workout plan

Where I Present the Continuing Adventures of the Bad Dog

I’m still working my way through Pretty Girls, so there won’t be a Friday Reads post — the book has me hooked . . . the story seems to be getting away with itself, with each plot twist being a bit more unbelievable than the last, but I’m loving the ride on which the story… Continue reading Where I Present the Continuing Adventures of the Bad Dog

Where I wonder where the time goes as I break out of a rut

The plan was straight-forward: I’d ensure that I have enough time, on the weekday mornings mornings, to do all of the things I need to do1 and get a bare-bones work out2 in.

Where I step back & realize I’ve disappeared

So, wow. Um, hi! I guess it’s been a little while. The absence? Well, it wasn’t entirely a conscious one. You see, every day, there’s a little thought in the back of my head where I’m hoping to write a blog post — but, in the past year, I guess, that little thought has never… Continue reading Where I step back & realize I’ve disappeared

Where sanity and vanity conflict

I’m having a phenomenally bad day at work today — I had to make a call to kill a project which not only means work made toward the project may have all been wasted, but it also means that, moving forward, I likely have a *lot* more work. It’s a bad enough day that I’m… Continue reading Where sanity and vanity conflict

Where I poke my head in during a busy streak

So it’s been far too long since I’ve posted – and as I’m wont to do when I try to get myself back in a writing groove, I present bullet points: As soon as Duffy and the kids leave for school in the morning, Luna, my cat, likes to follow me around. Every now &… Continue reading Where I poke my head in during a busy streak
