Reason I’ve been quiet (several photos)

I apologize for being MIA the last several days. I will catch up with comments and adding our exercise goal category in the sidebar.
Sometimes when an opportunity comes your way, you have to grab on and take the ride. We’ve had one such opportunity come our way. Without further adieu, I’d like [...]

Maybe a hole in the ground is better than the all-seeing eye

In NYC a woman, her fiance and his mother collaborated to find the owner of a lost digital camera. As I read the article, I was full of mixed emotions. There was amazement that there’s still good and honest people left in the world; then there was shock and dismay. It took [...]

Reporting our status on goals, exercise buddies: Lets have two options, Sundays and Wednesdays

Since it works better for some to post a note on goals during weekdays, and for others the weekends are best, I’ll post a little reminder about it on Sundays and Wednesdays. Use whatever works best for you— if you have to skip a week, no biggie. If you have incredible news, don’t [...]

Let’s narrow down a way to share our trials and triumphs

Over on the exercise buddy page, we’re trying to decide on a way to report our progress that’s regular but not constricting. I suggested a weekly report, aiming for posting it on Sunday. Sunni commented that was fine with her but she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to stick by that very well. [...]

Wouldn’t you like to play? Who doesn’t like music? =)

I blogged on January 10th about a local radio station hosting a high school band competition, ala’ marching band meets classic rock. The station’s email voting was nixed, due to student hijinx, but I thought it would be fun to vote anyway. Here.
I’m working on a prize for those readers who leave their [...]

Oh, we can’t have that going on, children (the Constitution tells us so)

Oregon school district puts the kabosh on senior class motto.

The seniors of McKenzie High School, in Oregon, chose as their motto: “They that believe shall mount up with wings as eagles.” The motto has its basis in the Bible verse Isaiah 40:31, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, [...]
