Man huhman, you really get around the state. It probably helps that you seem to hit a lot of places that I'm familiar with, but you do seem to be a perfect advertisement for visiting NC. Didn't it say somewhere around her that you work in tourism?

I'm just finishing up Running to Win by George Sheehan. I really like it. Some of it is a bit techinical and running specific, but it is a good book about exercise with a dash of philosophy.
I'm actually headed to the library in a few minutes to pi…
11 Chinups, 54 crunches, and 24:20 for 3 miles. 55+54+62 = 171. Solid 2nd class for my group (27-39), but I do benefit from being at the low end of that range.
All credit for this one goes to Brett. Do More Than One Stinking Pull-Up is the reason I…
I like the listing of the different types of play, and especially the quote about "the capacity to share a lighthearted sense of the world’s ironies." I think a great coping mechanism in a bad situation is to find some irony in it, or at least appre…
This one is tough because I can go all day without seeing any strangers. I am not counting the men's room in the office building, since I don't really like to chat in there. I spent a little extra time in the common areas of our building and did get…
This is a tough one, since my dad has so many good and bad qualities. The good definitely out ways the bad, but I couldn't write the letter without including the poor examples he showed in many areas. I'll post it here, since there is no way I'd eve…

Sweet - one that I already do to give me time to catch up on some of the others.
I think the savings for variable expenses is my favorite part of the budget process. Money can be a big source of stress, and it takes away some of the worry to know y…
mmmm . . .
I made Oatmeal and Eggs for breakfast this morning.
For dinner, the wife and I put together salads topped with chicken (cooked in the cast iron skillet).
Nothing fancy, but it always feels good to eat full meals, sitting down at home.
I just downloaded a few copies of "If" as mp3 files, and will listen to them in the car this evening. A two hour solo ride should be enough to get it down.
Thanks everyone for sharing other favorites poems and quotes. Some bring back memories and o…
I thought Mountain Island Lake was a local hangout. Out-of-towners are supposed to go to Lake Norman.
That is a very nice Bald Eagle picture, by the way. I like the contrasts it brings to mind - light and dark feathers, green plants look like they'…
Will try as part of the Challenge:
1. Sleep is tough because the baby still doesn't sleep very long stretches at night. I'll go to bed an hour early tonight, and hopefully it'll add up to around 8 hours.
4. I will add 10 - 15 minutes of meditation t…
I fall into the category of people that don't have any shoes that require shining. However, I have been wearing the same pair of worn-out, leather, slip-on shoes to work (and everywhere else) for the last few years. They really do bring down whateve…
