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 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.

Where I kind of like going to the dentist

I’m aware that I’m in the minority here, but I actually enjoy going to the dentist. Don’t get me wrong, when there is shit that needs to be done in my mouth, it’s no fun at all (and I’ve had fillings, filling replacements, a crown, and two crown replacements — all of which have sucked).… Continue reading Where I kind of like going to the dentist

Where I list the A,B,C’s of Daddy Runs a Lot

Age 37 Biggest Fear Forgetting my priorities — I tend to invest myself into whatever I happen to be doing . . . sometimes, that “thing” I’m doing? Is entirely unimportant. And if I becomes all encompassing, well, important shit gets lost. I’m constantly telling myself to step back & look at what I’m focusing… Continue reading Where I list the A,B,C’s of Daddy Runs a Lot
