New Year’s Resolutions and End Of the Year Inventory – 2015
Every year around this time I start taking inventory of my life and looking back at what’s happened over the last year. This year was a bumpy ride for me and my family. I haven’t written about it up until now, but after 10 years of marriage, my wife and I separated at the end […]
New Year’s Day 2014

Running fast but going nowhere
Well, I took my own advice today as far as a Resolution goes. I got up at the butt-crack of dawn and ran on the treadmill. Actually it was more of a walk with two minutes of running thrown in. Why would I subject myself to this early morning torture? Because I’m getting to the […]
New Year’s Resolutions
I am all for New Year’s Resolutions, even though I rarely keep them. Another year of promising myself I’ll exercise more and make more time for myself. I have been able to quit drinking, smoking and chewing tobacco but all three of those weren’t for Resolution Reasons. Those were more or less do or die […]
