Dear Malibu,
I know these last few years have been a little rough on you. I want to apologize right now for the lack of care and time I’ve invested into you. I have not been holding up my end of the bargain most days.
I mean, I’ve been there when it comes to the big stuff [...]

Quite an offer!
A few weeks ago, I went to the Michigan State – Wisconsin game in East Lansing. I shared a little about the game, but not about the fine offer I received on my way out of town.
As Patrick, Jessica and I were leaving, I asked if we could stop at the McDonalds just before the [...]

Woo-Hoo! Wednesday
While I’m enjoying a boost of positive thinking, I’m gonna share my recent success with you
I just ran 5.38 miles.
Oh, yes I did.
And I did this after spending some time on the weights, working on my back. Although, a LOT more gently than my previous time with Karl.
(Hi Karl! I still love you! Be gentle [...]

Back in the swing…
Last week I shared a little about my struggles at work here.
And while things aren’t perfect, (after all, it is work!), they’ve certainly improved. I feel like I’ve gotten back into my groove for the most part. I have some new projects to work on, and some definite goals.
I still get side-tracked by “fires” [...]

If you’re gonna fail…
Fail BIG. That’s how I roll.
So, I went off the NaBloPoMo wagon this year. And only halfway through. I realized at 11pm on Saturday when I was out with friends that I hadn’t yet posted that day. I tried to do one from my phone, but couldn’t get the interface to work quite right.
And I [...]

My Hot Date tonight…
Because I can’t wait until I make it to Mrs G’s Women’s Colony.
And because I decided that I need more spontaneity in my life.
I have made plans for a hot date tonight at 12:01.
Maybe you’ve heard of him:
Don’t wait up for me!

Something’s missing…
And that something would be my camera.
Actually, it’s not missing. It’s broken. Which is not as bad, I guess. At least I was able to pull out the SD card and upload all of my photos on to my computer.
I blame my lack of practice in relay baton-passing. Kind of like the US [...]

Just another dumb joke
I’ve had a pretty busy couple of days and thought I’d give myself a bit of a “day off” for NaBloPoMo.
I’d like to present to you my favorite dumb jokes that was somehow hilarious in Kenya.
Q: What’s green and has wheels?
A: Grass. I lied about the wheels.
Thanks, Kim for my new favorite bad joke [...]

Sacrificing the gift
The VP of my company sent us an email today challenging us to finish the year strong. He punctuated his challenge with the following quote from one of my heroes – Steve Prefontaine:
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
Boy, have I been sacrificing lately! I feel like I’ve been sleepwalking [...]

A grand entrance
I just want to give quick shout out to some of my friends who are busy serving the people of Rajamundry, India.
Especially Sarah. This is her first big trip outside of the US and her first international mission trip as well. But apparently, the girl knows how to make an entrance over there just as [...]
