I can’t believe I didn’t think to write about this life event until now. I was reminded by a discussion on the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) LinkedIn group asking for folks to submit aviation photos. As I was looking through my “Flying” photos I remembered the shots I took [...]

God bless this product! Okay, this is a post where I won’t be shy. I’m not a light person anymore and am getting older. What does this mean? It means I’m just shy of 195 pounds and will soon be 49 years old. I’m also 6’ 2”, so, I’m not fat but I do have [...]

Dear Mom & Dad,
Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We are okay. Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got [...]

Gee, what shall I watch while I’m putting in five and a half miles on the treadmill? Well, I haven’t seen the news for a while, guess I’ll catch up on things. Damn! Politicians! Oh hell, I guess [...]

I’ve really been trying to get in at least 20 miles of running each week. I’ve been pretty good at it and am motivated to keep things going. Last week I was put to the test as [...]

Well, I’m currently riding BART into the City by the Bay. I’ve got what is supposed to be about an eight week gig at BlackRock, the firm that acquired Barclays Global Investors (BGI), doing some feature enhancements to SalesLogix. I don’t think I’ve ridden BART since [...]

Yesterday I was looking at my Plus3Network donations and saw that I could hit $50 if I did a 10 mile run. I had planned on only doing 7.5 miles but this motivated me to do the little bit extra. So, not only was I motivated to push myself a bit more but, on my behalf, a firm rewarded [...]

On December 20th Harrison and Madison performed wonderfully at their piano recital held at the First Presbyterian Church in San Leandro, where their instructor has held several of the recent recitals.

For the past year or so I’ve been a lot better about staying hydrated when I run. I didn’t use to as I figured it wasn’t a big deal as I’d only be out running for an hour or so. Then I started upping the mileage, doing regular 10 mile runs. I quickly learned proper hydration will [...]

While I was looking up the poem that I know as “All Things Bright and Beautiful” but, in actuality, is titled “Maker of Heaven and Earth”, I found that there were more than just the four lines I know from my readings of the wonderful novels by [...]

Some time ago I set up the Twitter account, tWonderful. I now have started actually tweeting on that account. Essentially, the tweets will come out daily and be a fairly simple phrase describing something that I think is Wonderful.
