Montrail Mountain Masochist

The other shoes that I bought over the summer was the Montrail Mountain Masochist. I am not sure if they make me a masochist but they are comfy. Contradiction? I bought them because they seem to have a cult like following; and, I figure that can’t be all bad. I do not see myself buying […]

Winter Trail Run with Merrell Embark Glove

Weather has been odd here in Kentucky. Probably has been odd all over for that matter. One week it will be 70 F and the next will be 20 F and snow. I managed to squeeze in a nice 5 mile trail run at Raven Run during the transition from the last shift from hot […]

College Dropout?

For all of my talk about taking college classes for the sake of it, I am being faced with reality. I am going to be a college dropout. Well, kinda. I guess that I will be content with my bachelors in nursing. As I mentioned before, we are leaving Kentucky behind and making our way […]

Raleigh Summer

Patina on a 1000lb mortar Velocity and Declination Capitol Flowers My Ava with leaves. A unique sight Raleigh is a beautiful city. Exploring the town was great. The weather was outstanding as were the people.

A Hard Day

As a new parent, I don’t get out much. On this day, I met with some friends at a local watering hole and brought my little one along. She is such a well behaved baby and loves people. She tires quickly though. My little sweet pea was so exhausted she passed out in my lap. […]

My First Computer

Well, I guess that my first computer was a Commodore 64. I remember spending, what seemed to me, hours programming DOS to make the computer screen have little figures dance in little fun little patterns. I truly loved the thing. I am not about to present myself as a computer person. I feel that I am a […]

Well More Fun in the City

Writing about the Homeless fella the other day reminded me of when my mother in law visited awhile back. That in itself remains out side of the boundaries of interesting. But, she was the witness to the event. So that may have a little humor to it. I live on one of the busiest roads […]

The December Marathon

While I am at it. I should update you on my marathon running skills. Well, The marathon is this coming Saturday. Unfortunately, this will not be my first marathon. During one of my 15 mile runs, about two weeks ago, I started having sharp pain in my right knee. Luckily, I was nearly finished and […]

Learning for the sake of Learning

I have an opportunity that has really always been there. Well, at least during my professional life. In the past, I intended to take classes, lessons, or the like just to engage my curiosity. I thought of taking guitar lessons, martial arts, cooking classes, dance lessons, or a new language. I dabbled in most of the aforementioned […]

The Night

Each night here seems the same. We put our little bug to bed. We read. Occasionally, we watch the tele. Mostly, we read. Though this time tonight is eaten away with writing. Reading and writing. Not bad pastimes in my opinion. I started this post cause, right now, I am writing and my wife is cuddled next […]
