Today is My Birthday!
I’m officially an old bat and at 41 years old, marching ever closer to 50. Last year, my dad re-gifted me a mug that I bought for him when he turned 40 (held onto that damn thing for 20 years jut to be able to give it back to me, drat him). The mug says, … Read more
7.86 Miles! Way to Kick the Holiday Doldrums in the Butt!
(And my German Shepherd is a super wuss.) After feeling super lethargic yesterday due to all the holiday consumption and lack of movement/exercise, today I vowed to myself that I would kick ass. I’m happy to report that I did. I brought my Dante dog with me to Nadaka Park, which is a great park … Read more
It’s Just a Little Christmas Debauchery
I’m sitting here with my jeans unbuttoned after three days of not walking in a row, after having stuffed my face with Christmas goodies and feasted on a wonderful Christmas dinner and my daughter’s birthday cake (her birthday is Christmas Day) and I find myself wanting a drink of water. But the kitchen faucet feels … Read more
Equipment Wish List
I’ve got some equipment at home, but much of what I have is designed for family or car camping. I need to get better lightweight equipment so that I don’t kill myself from the weight of everything I’m dragging along. Some walkers I’ve talked to have said they managed to whittle it down to about … Read more

It took a lot longer than I thought it would, but then I’ve been pretty busy with the holiday seasonal stuff–shopping for the … Read more
Sneak Peek
I got to do a sneak peek at the video that Nathan Isaacs is helping me put together for my Kickstarter campaign, and I have to say I’m quite excited about it! He’s just fixing one little thing, and then it will be good to go and I can upload it. I hope to have … Read more
Six! Six Miles Walked, Ah ha ha ha!
Sorry. I was channeling the Count from Sesame Street there, for a moment. Actually, I walked 6.15 miles. But, eh, close enough. I’m soo happy! Nary a blister, too. Though my feet were pretty sore by the time I finished. And I had to take a couple of five-minute breathers along the way. Not because … Read more
Icicle Butt Syndrome
Yesterday I was outside almost all day working on a friend’s film project. The temperature didn’t rise above 36 degrees Fahrenheit all day, and I was cold. I made sure to wear layers, and my upper body did pretty well. But despite wearing long johns and extra socks, by derriere and hips froze. For some … Read more
