50,000 Miles

, , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I remember flying to Tanya’s for the 4th of July 2009, and that my odometer on the Charger had turned 33,333 miles. The number stuck in my mind because I remember odd things like that, and it was about half of what Tanya had on her Charger, which she purchased a few months after me. In the first 3.5 years I averaged about 775 miles a month. In the last 16 months I have averaged almost 1,050 miles a month. Considering I do not drive to work, and I was in Europe for at least a month of that, that …

Happy Thanksgiving

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I am not quite sure why it is that people presume the first Thanksgiving Day feast consisted of turkey and all the trimmings. The original account only suggests that hunters went out looking for fowl. It does not mention if they were successful or not, or what kind of fowl they were hunting. I guess it just makes for a nice story. Personally, I figure that since they were close to the ocean, there is more likelihood of seafood being on the table than a turkey, but no one knows for sure. I decided that my Thanksgiving meal would consist …

Loyalty

I do not believe I have ever owned a dog as loyal as Buddy. He can be very subtle about it and he can be very obvious about it. It all depends on what the situation warrants. My photo of the day for the day before Thanksgiving is of Buddy as he waits for my signal to continue walking. I have to say, I really enjoy taking him out on walks and trips. He is a pleasurable animal to hang with.

Sunny Tuesday

There is not much question that it is fall around here. I don’t mean frost on the pumpkins fall, but pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings. I would prefer if it was a little warmer, but at least it is not flyover state cold. My picture of the day for Tuesday is of Buddy thoroughly enjoying himself on our morning walk. It is good to see that his visit to the vet accomplished our goal. No more itching!

Another Take Charge Morning

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

One of my personality traits has to be commitment. Perhaps not in relationships, but when it comes to things like watching my diet, exercise, juicing and Project 365, I am pretty reliable. An example of this might be my use of Take Charge. I have never been a breakfast person. Even in high school my mom went out of her way to include instant breakfast in the food budget just so I had something before heading off to school. My photo of the day for day 326 is of my Take Charge breakfast mixed with Greek yogurt. I have only …

Three Weeks Down

, , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Remember when you were a kid? Thanksgiving meant a month until Christmas and it would be the longest month of the year. Of course, now that we are adults the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seems to be last about a week and a half. My picture of the day for Sunday is of my new moustache after three weeks of growth. Remember, 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 …

Redondo Beach Brewing Company

Saturday is my new “me” day, it used to be Sundays but my son has Saturdays off and I enjoy going for bike rides with him. So, in honor of this change the weather was wet and my son got called in for overtime. I called Phil to see if he wanted to ride, but he wanted to wait on the weather. He called back later with a counter that I join him and his wife at the Redondo Beach Brewing Company. My picture of the day for day 324 is of the beer sampler I got. I liked the …

Slowly But Surely

, , , , / 1 minute of reading /

It is time to see if I can start to sculpt something with this moustache. The hard part about this is that my hair grows at different speeds and colors on different parts of my face. I may end up having to take some drastic measures. My photo of the day for day 323 is my face with 19 days of growth. Not very impressive, I know. What is impressive is the money that people have donated to the Movember cause. Donations are being accepted all month, so please visit my Movember page and donate whatever you can afford. Thanks.

Healthy Dinner

Tanya went back home to Indiana, which means it is time for me to get back on my healthy diet. Since we were on the road most of last week it was difficult for me to continue my juicing. We both use Take Charge in the morning, so it was just a matter of picking up some yogurt at the local 7-11 and we were set for the beginning of the day. It was just a matter of finding something good for you for dinner. My photo of the day for Thursday is a before shot of my dinner. I …

A Movember Recruit

, , , , / 1 minute of reading /

My good friend, Phil, upon seeing me shave my face bare so I could participate in Movember’s fund raising attempts decided that he would grow a moustache for the month as a sign of solidarity. I find it interesting that there are people like him that can not wait for December 1 so they can shave again, while I can not wait to start growing again. My photo of the day for Wednesday is of Phil and I comparing our growth thus far. While being a blonde may have had its advantages as a youth, it sure does not help …
