Drink With Me
Hey you! Yes, YOU! It’s been a while since we’ve hung out. Or maybe we’ve never met and just conversed over the Internet. Either way, we should grab a beer. There are a bunch of friends I have not seen in way too long. There are individuals I’ve communicated with via Twitter and other sites that I know, but have … Continue reading
Celebrating Screen-Free Week
I admit, I am easily distracted. If you know me, this is not a shocking statement. Conversations with friends often derail and points are forgotten. I’m usually doing five things at once. While writing this paragraph, I’ve check my email, updated my WordPress install and messaged some friends via Facebook. This is part of the reason when a friend reminded … Continue reading
Project 366 for 2012
Project365 – a photo a day. A simple concept; take a picture every day for a year. Share with friends. See where the year takes you.

You don’t need … Continue reading

I focused last month on body, so it seems appropriate to move to mind for my next challenge. And seeing as I currently have a stack of books from the library, this one … Continue reading
30 Days – Workout Challenge
Mind and body – they are connected. Lately I have neglected exercise more than I should, and I can tell my mind is functioning a little…what’s the word…oh yea, slower. Also this beer gut has gotten a bit out of control. I once was a rabid gym addict, working out 3-5 times per week. Lately I have slacked in my … Continue reading
30 Days – an Introduction
30 Days. One month. When I worked at Beloit Daily News, my boss would often say “It takes 21 days to form a habit.” He would often press employees to try something – a new strategy or goal – for three weeks. Give it a chance to see if it works for you or you develop (or break) a habit. … Continue reading
