Where I’ve Been: Lower Salmon River, Idaho
This snake really blended into its surroundings, and only because it moved did I notice it and quickly lurch sideways so I could avoid stepping on it. I instinctively got away from it because I didn’t know if it was a rattlesnake or what. But on inspecting it from a respectable distance, didn’t find any … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Fun n’ Freaky Snow Days, Part 1
All through January and February and the first part of March, I got to drive places where it was nice and sunny. No rain, no snow, just 60-80 temperatures. It was lovely! Then, come mid-March, it’s as if the world realized that I was enjoying myself far too much, driving wise, and decided that I … Read more
Walking About In Sunny California
Trucking this time of year tends to have a lot of down time. The busiest time of the year (Christmas season) has just passed and the consumption of everything is down, down, down. So sometimes we have to sit around awhile waiting for a load. When our economy was roaring when I was trucking before, … Read more
SoleImpact Socks
I have a pair of these. I first ordered them back in March or April, and I didn’t receive them until August, because they were on backorder. At the time I purchased my pair (mine are black), they cost me about $20. I see according to website, the price has gone up to $29.95. It’s … Read more
Back On Track Again
I mentioned a couple weeks ago or so that I had gained a few pounds over the last couple of month and I was feeling frustrated. I told myself then that it was time to clamp back down on my eating habits, monitor my food intake, and increase my physical activity once again. I’ve done … Read more
Technical Difficulties
I am very excited because tomorrow is the Forest Park Half Marathon. I’ve been training and took some great footage of my training walks in the park. However, my cat jumped up on the desk, tripped on some stuff on the desk, slipped, splayed her paws out frantically, grabbed the external keyboard that we got … Read more
End of Summer Vacation
Wednesday last week (September 5th, that is) marked the first day of school for Willow. She was extremely excited to be starting. In fact, she had picked out an outfit for the first day of school more than a month ago–or rather, she swapped out ideas for an outfit several times. It seemed like she … Read more
August 30 Day Challenge Wrap Up
I gave myself a few challenges to attempt over the last 30 days. The idea was, I would do this challenge every single day, for thirty days straight. My challenges? Get up no later than 8am to get an earlier crack at the day. (Earlier is even better.) Walk no less than two hours a … Read more
I’m An Unrepentant Pusher
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! I’ve got my daughter hooked on that insidious drug known as hiking. Yesterday, I asked her if she would like to go hiking with me in Forest Park. Well, that isn’t entirely true. I told her I wanted her to come with me because I would love to … Read more
Glistening, Half Naked Eye Candy
Ha! I knew that title would get your attention! It is certainly more catchy than say, Triumph At Forest Park or The Toughest Thing I’ve Ever Done Physically, (Except for Childbirth). What can I say? Sex sells. And, the title does actually have something to do with this post…eventually. The Forest Park Marathon and Half … Read more
