What have I been up to?

This year is zipping by. This site hasn’t seen much action in 2009. Even my Twittering (the Quick Updates you see to the left) has been drastically reduced. My excuse is that I can’t write. But the real reason is I have no good direction of what to write here. Not many people visit this site, but...

Year in Review: 2008

I did this in 2006 and 2007 as well. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Went to Disney World. Broke a bone. Made Sangria. Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? 2 functioning arms for the entire year. What dates from...

Oh well, maybe someday when I get time. Today’s Workout, a version of Action Hero Workout #2 (again I switched Circuit #1 and #3): Circuit...

Lessons learned from a broken wrist

For anyone who didn’t know – I broke my wrist in mid July. I was just being dumb, doing something I shouldn’t have been doing – sprinting with the dog, and fell and broke my right wrist. I spent a week wearing a brace then 4 weeks in a hot pink cast (had to wait for the swelling to go...
