A Watched Pot Never Boils

, , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I have to admit, I have tested the idiom (I think it is an idiom) above and while it does take significantly longer to boil than if you just put it on the stove and drove to the 7-11, it will eventually boil. I am getting the feeling that a watched moustache never grows. My picture of the day shows what little progress has been made in the last three days. As a reminder, I have committed to growing a moustache this month to raise funds and bring awareness to the many cancers that affect men. Contributions are being accepted …

Happy Birthday, Dad

, , , / 1 minute of reading /

80 years ago today, November 2, 1930, Ras Tafari crowned Haile Selassie I, 225th emperor of Solmonic Dynasty. He was the guy that coined the popular phrase, “It is much easier to show compassions to animals. They are never wicked.” Also, my dad was born. I do not think he ever had a problem showing compassion for people. In other news, it is taking forever for my moustache to come back in, as displayed in my photo of the day. Oh yeah, if you have not voted yet, turn off your computer and go vote. Thank you.

It is Movember. I have committed to growing a moustache this month to raise funds and bring awareness to the many cancers that affect men. Contributions are being accepted all month, so if you support the cause please visit my page on Movember.com. My picture of the day for day 305 of Project 365 is of my face as it started the month.

October 2010 Project 365 Recap

A Picture a Day – Project 365 October 2010 As much as this Project 365 seems more like project than fun at times, it is a handy way of reflecting back and seeing what you have done in the last month. October had too much rain and way too many visits to medical professionals. On the upside, my shoulder is better, I got to spend some time with Tanya in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and I was able to raise some money for a good cause.

Happy Halloween

I was sitting in one of those not quite fast food, but not a place with waiters type restaurants last night. It was getting late and I was in a neighborhood I was not really familiar with. Here I am in this silly costume, wearing shorts and no facial hair. I am not sure what I would have thought if I had seen me, but I have my doubts that a lifetime biker would be on the list. My picture of the day for the last day of October was taken at the Halloween party I attended last night.

A Very New Me

So, I wanted to participate in this fundraiser put on by the Movember Foundation, which is raising funds for and awareness of mens health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. The catch was that you had to start off clean shaven, something I had not been since 1971! After a little thought, and talks with Tanya and another friend, I put the word out that if I raised $1,000 I would shave it all off. 45 hours later the goal was met. My photo of the day is a screen grab from the video that was taken while I shaved …

The month of November has been designated by The Movember Foundation as the month for raising funds for and awareness of men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. As part of the month-long campaign, men around the world are being encouraged to grow a moustache for the month. As you know, I already had a beard and moustache (for 39 years), but I wanted to participate. After talking to a couple friends, I decided to set up a Movember account then announce on Facebook, a few of my sites and some industry forums that when I had $1,000 in …

Just Vote

The mid-term elections are just around the corner. I had a long story ready to cut and paste here, but I was afraid some people would read it as being supportive of one party or another. I do not want to do that here. My photo for Project 365 today is of my outgoing mail. Absentee voting is so much easier. Check it out.

Take Charge and Wii Did It

My loyal readers probably recall a post or two in which I mentioned that I had started using the Wii Fit. According to Wii I should weigh 167 pounds. Now, we all know that is never going to happen, and in fact, it would not even allow me to set that as a goal as it seems to have a 25 pound limit. So, I set my goal for losing 25 pounds in a year. Extensive travel makes weight control very difficult, at least for me. It is difficult to get good food on the road. Those last five pounds …

Sprouts Farmers Market

, , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Anyone that really knows me knows that shopping is not really my thing. For me to have a favorite store or a store I am somewhat excited about is rare indeed. Last week I discovered Sprouts Farmers Market. I was actually looking for one of those outdoor farmers market setups when I found Sprouts in Google. I read a couple reviews and decided I had to check it out for myself. Since I am getting into juicing it seemed like the natural thing to do. Am I ever glad I did. In the past, I have found that shopping for …
