I am very happy to report that the broken arm is healing fairly well. I’ve been going to physical therapy twice a week for several weeks. Arm strength is increasing though my tricep is still incredibly weak. Range of motion is still rather poor but improving. I can now touch my face which is helpful…. [Read More]
Big Spill 2014 – Broken Arm – Update 2
Sadly, there just isn’t much going on right now so not much to post about. I can tell you that having a broken arm (humerus) really stinks. I’ve been making frequent trips to the doctor so he can keep tabs on the healing process. He seems happy with progress so I am too. All of… [Read More]
Fat Clothes
I recently read a pretty good book titled “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin. I enjoyed this book and picked up a bunch of really good ideas from it. One of those ideas is the value of decluttering our lives and the freeing effect that has on us. So, this past weekend I was staring… [Read More]
Catching up
I guess the last week has been busy… or something. Not sure how I fell so far behind but I’m working on catching up. I’ve been doing lots of cycling of late. I LOVE the warmer temperatures and feel of the sun beating down on me. Getting over the winter break is taking more work… [Read More]

I had some errands to run early this morning in Albuquerque. My errands didn’t go so great so, while I was in the big city,… [Read More]
Mind Control
After my White Mesa ride over the weekend, I decided to take Labor Day off – no labor for me. It felt great. I committed to riding 400 miles in September on one of the popular cycling forums so I figured that I had just better shoot for 20 miles every day. However; a short… [Read More]
28 Miles
I’m sure your well aware… I’m cycling for fitness, fun, and to reclaim my life. Know what?? I am making progress!! I’m certainly having fun and getting into the ‘competition with self’ aspect. I may even ride in a local “challenge” event to see what that feels like… more on that later. The thing that… [Read More]
Fat
I’ve been reading FatCyclist.com lately. Fatty (his title) has a bunch of really great thoughts and one that I really, really like is the reason for his blog. As I understand it, he started posting his weight for accountability purposes – to himself and his readers. I think many of the problem that Fatty cites are… [Read More]
Healthy Eating
I am slowly learning that healthy eating is more than a simple checklist to be followed… This is a post a wrote on June 22, 2012 but didn’t publish. For whatever reason, I just wasn’t quite ready to share it – I am now. Want to see something really cool?!? Take a look at this!… [Read More]
