This seems like a given during times like these but it needs to be said. Susan and I are both still working although she is working partially at home it has been pretty much business as usual for us. That is until Nick came home for the summer. Fortuneatly for all of us he was […]
This blog started as a way for me to project positive thoughts to others and to help my attitude during a period of unemployment. While I am not unemployed I find myself again in a need to focus on the positive in life an hopefully share those thoughts with others so here we go again. […]
While it was a great holiday break that extended through January, I finally took my first rides of the year this weekend. It was a great reminder of why I like to ride. A great workout, my legs felt like the good old days and it was warm enough to wear just a jersey. Its […]
