Why I didn’t make it to the gym today

March 18th, 2008

Last night my wife took my daughter to the doctor for what she thought to be pinkeye.  I didn’t think much of it as I had it a lot as a kid.  I also knew it to be very contagious.  As such I decided not to go to the gym this morning, for fear of spreading […]

Why I was late to go riding

March 17th, 2008

My friend and I were supposed to go riding on the west side of town at 1pm Saturday.  I was to drive myself.  I kept thinking in my mind of how to get to the west side trail head.  I became somewhat obsessed.
We then changed to the east side of town and 12:30 to accommodate […]

Selective hearing

March 12th, 2008

I have special shoes that clip onto my pedals for my bike, and the stationary cycle at the gym. I have forgotten them several times to bring them to the gym. This often results in a crummy workout because my feet hurt and my athletic shoe does not transfer the effort to the […]

Why I didn’t make it to the gym today

For some people dreams are a welcome addition to sleep.  For me they are an annoyance that often results in me losing sleep and missing and or ignoring an alarm.  Last night was no different in that regard.  However, the type of dream I had not had since I was little.
It started out with my […]

Sell out

March 10th, 2008

I am gearing up for a trip to go mountain biking.  I do not get out much, and I have not put a whole lot of money aside from the bare essentials into this hobby.  So need a lot of gear.  Fortunately there are many sales as spring is emerging.  Unfortunately this creates a lot […]

Stumped

It was raining when I set out to build my fence, so I fabricated the panels in the garage. I have since moved them into the backyard. The goal was to have it follow the line created by the back wall of the house. Unfortunately my 10×10 metal shed will all my […]

Howldini

March 5th, 2008

My wife attended a field trip with one of the kids and came home to find our new dog missing and a message on the answering machine the day after the dog escaped the first time.  The message was from someone who had found the dog wandering around a busy street nearby.  The person pulled […]

Dog gone

March 4th, 2008

One day of the following week we got the dog, my wife came home to him missing.  My neighbor across the street found him.  But after awhile he had to go somewhere so he enlisted my next door neighbor who finally returned him to us.  He also reported that he howled most of the day.

Look ma no seat

My daughter had a birthday recently.  We decided to get her first bicycle.  My wife bought one while she was at preschool a couple a weeks back.  We hid it in the back of one of my cars that isn’t running.  Since it’s been that way for some time the thick layer of dust over […]
