Missed my Blogiversary date by a few days again. Oh well. Eight years of blogging, although lately its fallen off to just about nothing. Sigh. Looking back, I think I’ve done pretty well with all of this. Lately my weight and running have suffered a similar neglected fate as my blog. Working on that. Thanks [...]

Ok, I’ve been away far too long from my blog. I’ve been distracted by the internets and other stuff. Bleh. Let’s see. I ran a 5K and managed a 7:56 pace (yea me, because I am majorly out of shape). I started lifting weights again and running in the morning. I blew out my back [...]

When my parents leave for a trip, they ask me to water the plants. Well, my mother asks me, they are her plants. My father doesn’t care either way. I go to their house after they are gone. I bring in the mail and newspaper. I water the plants, which are everywhere in the house. [...]

I needed to borrow my parents’ van to take some gear to scout meeting. Unfortunately, the van was in for repair. However, the shop said we could pick it up at night (after closing) and just bring it back the same night, since the work hadn’t started yet. While driving to the shop, my car [...]

First post of the year. I was hoping for something spectacular to say but haven’t got anything. I replaced the faucet and drain in the downstairs bathroom. I had to make only one trip to the hardware store. Whenever you do plumbing, the broken part is always connected to something else that is about to [...]

PS See how close the neighbors are? Now you know why I hate living in the suburbs.
