Who needs rest?

This is going to be a quickie. It’s too long for Twitter, and long enough for a blog post. I’m just coming off of a 9 mile run at an average pace of 8:55/ mile. While that isn’t burning up the road by most serious runners estimation, I’m pretty happy with it. It was fast [...]

What happened on the #CMM

#CMM is the hash tag from Twitter for the Country Music Marathon. Occurring on April 24, 2010, It was going to be my first marathon, but so many things went wrong. First and foremost: I didn’t make it. There are many reasons, but there are also no excuses. My nutrition training didn’t work. I trained [...]

What happened to you?

My wife mentioned to me recently of a report saying that obesity in America had recently risen. ... But I do want to write a little bit about something that did happen with me.

Cough Dusty around here…

Wow, anyone still subscribed to this? It’s been slightly more than a year since the last update to this site. A lot has happened since then. I’ve spent more than half of that year in Denver, on a contract job. Mary Victoria is now in School. William is now NOT in school (His daycare closed) [...]

We're heading back down to Mobile for the culmination of Mardi Gras - Saturday through Fat Tuesday. Mary Vic has been told there are Fire Breathing Dragons on Saturday at the Mystic's of Time (I think that's the parade).

I thought they came out quite well given the five minutes we had to actually take the photos, and the fact that the best backdrop available was a dark window. ... It seems that the aspect ratio gets screwed up a little when I upload them directly here.

What a weekend!

It was a great temp outside, but down on the street, the wind knocked that temp right out of the park, so jackets and bundling were the order for the night. Christian ready to grab anything coming his way! ... Great Grandma, Mary and Jeff - Great grandma was quite displeased that she didn't know we were coming... telling everyone she did not like that she was 'always the last one to know'.

The Art of the Dance!

What you DON'T know... is that the newest member of the Family aspires to greatness! Here, we have the initial greeting and setup: Dominance is tested, and we begin the Ballet. The leap, executed although the stretch doesn't fully extend... 1 point deduction. Check your partner's position, and prepare for the grand finale. It's the Flying dog duo!

Not much for their politics…

But they have some winters, and they knew how to keep from freezing to death. ... However, you fold the flaps down, and it'll keep you warm. ....ish. 8 degrees out there, and puppy had to go for his walk.
