Well… today was eventful. The H.S. Boys Basketball team is in the District finalS for the first time since 2001. The final will be Friday night at the “Grand Canyon.” This made for a very UNeventful evening at work. From 7pm-9pm, I probably could count the number of customers I had on one hand. I […]

Call it my resolution for the year if you want but it seems that I have been walking a bit lately. Last week being my vacation, I walked a lot. Monday on the zoo excursion I’m sure was good for my daily walk (like to get in a mile or two a day). This Monday

Recently I purchased a pedometer. According to a large amount of literature, a person should try to walk 10,000 steps per day to stay healthy. That is roughly 5 miles per day. Now I thought I walked a lot every day, but apparently I’m not reaching my 10,000 steps. If I attach the pedometer first

There have been recent stories in the news about some extremely overweight people. One is the world record holder over 1000 lbs, another hit the scales at over 900 lbs. Sadly, the 900 lb man died from heart failure today. It simply astounds me that they could get that large. I have a problem with
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. We decided to celebrate Saturday in order to avoid the crowds at all the restaurants and other establishments; also it worked out well because my kids often need all of Sunday as a rest day to recooperate from the previous week and the weekend before returning to school

Yesterday when browsing my kind-of-local WalMart store in Defiance, OH I noticed something… They didn’t have the DVD player I wanted. But what they did have was far more magical, far more elusive, far more expensive… The Nintendo Wii Was I dreaming? Was I hallucinating? Or was I in reality about to make a big

I think my lack of any exercise this winter has caught up to me. I am having a very hard time sleeping lately. I will go to bed, usually at a reasonable hour, and I’ll be able to fall asleep, but then throughout the night I will constantly wake up, then lay in a state
