I can file this under things I thought I would never be, especially after my 20′s! I mean, who has time to be competitive at my age? I’ll tell you! Kyla & Jennifer! That’s who. These ladies both meek and timid at first glance, will compete with the best of them. Or even the sub-par [...]

Well, I finally committed to my first triathlon. After 2 weeks of procrastination I went ahead and spent the money. Which means now, I have just 2 weeks till the triathlon. No good! I run regularly and bike on occasion, but as already mentioned in my article about competitive swimming, I need much swim practice. [...]

Well, I know how to swim, swim… but not efficiently, as in, how to breath or not breath during the strokes of competitive swimming. I can swim to save my life or someone else’s, but if it were to compete I wouldn’t have a prayer out there. I know this because of O’ sweet Kyla. [...]

You know it’s bad when you get your best friend, your wife’s best friend, your cousin-in-law and a high school client telling you that you need to proofread everything before you share it. My problem is that I think I am texting, typing, and talking at the same pace that I am thinking, but alas, [...]

Ever had that thought? “I’ll get to it later”, “I’ll do it tomorrow”, or “later…@#!%$&***”? Well, if you do then you should know that I do too, all too often. As a matter of fact, just today I thought, “when I get a minute I will read”. I never got that minute and I sure [...]

Clingy friends? You ask? What to do about them? You ask? Again with the questions, why so many questions? Hold your horses and I will tell you what to do about clingy friends. DO you know what a clingy friend is? I bet you don’t, as a matter of fact, I bet you are a [...]

How do you approach eating out? Or dining out, if you prefer. I am not referring to spending money or where you eat, but what is your modus operandi? My late grandpa, who we fittingly called Gramps, would walk into a restaurant like he owned the place. Sure, he might look at the menu, but [...]

Many times, I weigh the weights of a situation or situations. Do you weigh the weights? What are the weights? Well, we are not going to discuss what the weights actually are, but, they are not physical weights… sorry Terry. The weights are immaterial, they are intangible. So there you are, in a room full [...]

C.E. (chronic earliness) can effect anyone, but most people who deal with it have been dealing with it for years. I used to be one of “those people”, arriving too early and sitting around for 20 or 30 minutes. I sat around because I am not an over-achiever. The mix of over-achieving and chronic earliness [...]

You are walking. It is cold outside. The sub-zero temperatures make you bury your face beneath your scarf such that the scarf is wet with the moisture of your breath. At least your breath smells good.
