I know, if you have one in the house you experience pretty non-stop sarcasm, eye rolls, laziness beyond belief and bedrooms that would scare a skunk. But sometimes....SOMETIMES....they do show signs of being human. Por ejemplo.... Last weekend 16 and his dad borrowed my lawn mower to use at a rental property of theirs that... Continue Reading →
Happify really *does* happify your daily life
A few weeks ago I shared that, on a whim, I had responded to an email invite and joined this new site called Happify. Yes, there was some skepticism and I wasn't sure how long I would stick with it. But I have honestly found that it has ever so gently changed a few things... Continue Reading →
You really can’t roll out of bed and run 3 hours
The only picture I took today during the run on the San Dieguito River trail. The depth perception is off, but the lighter rock up top is from a separate peak more in the distance. The sky really was that blue! I love the rock formations on this trail (same one as last week) - we... Continue Reading →
Knee repair update & St Paddy Day trail run

Another running thresh hold crossed
The acacia blooms are popping out all around. We saw an osprey with a fish in it's talons flying around looking for a good spot to consume brunch. A hummingbird stalked us along one fence line. The ducks were doing interval flight drills from the center sand pit to the water and back -... Continue Reading →
Say It Ain’t So Mike!
It's been about a week now since I finished the book. If you read any of my tweets while I plowed through it, you know already that I am deeply conflicted. First of all, I should be fair and link to the Amazon Kindle purchase page just in case you want to experience this for yourself.... Continue Reading →
