Today’s a good day, for no particular reason other than I decided it was/is. I may have also had some influence from a little book by the name of The Power by Rhonda Byrne who helped me arrive at this conclusion. When I got home from work today the power was out for no apparent … Continue reading
I love Thai food. My first Thai food encounter was in Bloomington Indiana, at a little restaurant called My Thai Cafe. I’m sure all my Bloomginton friends are chuckling at this since I don’t even know if it is considered “authentic” Thai food. It is spicy so it’s got to be close, right? When it … Continue reading
We’ve been eating a little better lately. Better as in actually preparing real food again instead of resorting to microwaved nachos or cold cereal. I accept that there are periods in everyone’s life when actual home-cooking just doesn’t fit in the schedule, yet I’m very glad we seem to be coming out of one of … Continue reading

After the awesome blessing at mass we made the trek back to the Hale Koa Hotel via one of … Continue reading
The other day I called upon the saints for some divine intervention on my hip. Today I got a couple of blessings. First, I got some education on KT tape and Phiten technology at the pre-race expo. After sporting some new phiten stickers and KT tape all day, I have to say I feel a … Continue reading
Some of you may know that I have a very special friend and guardian angel, St. Anthony. He’s quite good at locating my lost belongings, but he hasn’t been much help with my healing my hip. Therefore, I am calling upon the patron St. of hip ailments tonight. Is there such a Saint? I wrote … Continue reading
…to pull Christmas off this year. Heritage Village to be precise. We haven’t even finished our Thanksgiving leftovers, but Santa doesn’t seem to care. Christmas will be here in a flash, and the above is as much as we have done to get ready. Except for this: Decorating tonight was a joint effort. Originally, I … Continue reading
