Physically Challenged
So I recently turned 40. I also just weighed myself at 197.6 pounds. Let’s round up to 198. This is the heaviest I’ve ever been. On a 5’7” frame…that’s a lot of BMI. In the past, I’ve participated in a few adventure races and loved…

Reboot ∞
To “reboot” means to discard all previous continuity and start over with fresh ideas. To scrap everything and start over with fresh ideas and perspectives. Previous posts (2005-2012) have been archived. This is my reboot and constant web evolution.

Mayday! Mayday!

Simplicity
Still sorting out what is being sold, donated or thrown away from our rented storage unit. I think we shaved off about 20% recently and I am not done yet. I’m hoping that by simplifying my world I can gain more perspective on what matters…

Y?
The three of us enjoyed our local YMCA membership and I just cancelled it. As much as we enjoyed the idea of membership, we haven’t made time to use it. My intention is to go back to the basics of fitness. I can do push-ups,…

Tinker & Tweak
Little DVD had a piece of her toy snap off and asked me to repair it recently. Once the part was snapped back into place she exclaimed that I was “just like Tinkerbell!” I assume she meant that I could fix things as well as…
