Countdown – 5 days

5 days left.
Let me repeat that: Only. 5. Days. Left.
Okay – now breathe in.  Breathe out…..
Now’s where the mild panic is beginning to set in.  So much to do, so little time.  I need to make sure that I get all my food/drugs/toiletries together.  And I get them packed.
Oh yeah – and maybe some clothes [...]

Where I’ve been….

I know that I’ve been very AWOL lately on this site.  I’ve been suffering from a chaotic mix of over scheduling, reclusive downtime and major writers block.
I haven’t been home between 7:30am and 11pm this week.  It’s all “good” stuff – but it definitely keeps me from posting on here.  I have time to hop [...]

More of the same

Remember when I talked about my interview a few weeks ago?
Well, it did actually take place on our second attempt.  But I just found out that they offered that position to an outside candidate.  Bummer.
Luckily, I’m not too upset. A little disappointed, yes – but not crushed.  After the interview, I just started getting a [...]

Countdown – Day 24

24 Days left until I head to West Pokot, Kenya.
24 days until I get to work with an amazing team of people in some crazy heat.  Until I get to experience the joy of serving alongside my brothers and sisters in helping a remote – but not forgotten – people.
 
The problem is, I’m still here [...]

Oh, Bama!

Now that the heat is really turning up on the ad campaigns, I thought I would share a few items with you that have been entertaining.   No negative programing here, just a little internet fun.
I don’t care what side of the political line you fall on, this is just plain funny.   My friend Beth passed [...]

Potty-Humor Me

I don’t have too many pet peeves.  But the ones that I do have really can get under my skin.
One of my biggest irks has to do with workplace bathrooms.  What I don’t get is how women can abuse a place so horribly.  Seriously?  Do they treat their bathrooms at home like this?
My building is [...]

Joy Ride

Last night I took my dad to the Tigers game.  My girlfriend, and co-season-ticket-holder, had to work and couldn’t attend.  It was a good opportunity for some father-daughter bonding. We’ve been able to hang out only a few times this year when it was just the two of us.
So all afternoon I was looking forward [...]

Recovering…

Pain has a name.   And that name is Bart.
I recently joined a new gym – which I love.   It’s just over a mile from my house,  on my way to/from work, and even when it’s “busy” there are still plenty of machines open.
Part of the sign up package included some free personal training sessions.  Last Saturday [...]
