Busy Morning. I however have a day off. It just happens … Continue reading The First Day of Autumn
Where has the time gone. I write this from my work computer, a brief moment of solitude. I am hazy and tired. Not from work as such, or from the kids. No workout has got me sweating like this. No mind mind hurts from a constant stream of social media. It starts off so innocently. I have my own Twitter account. Then my own Instagram … Continue reading Too much Social life
Where we live is on a street with a park in it. It is full of children playing constantly. Since we had a previously lived on main roads our kids had never really played out with other kids before so they relished being called for and going out in a gang. It was brilliant.

It’s all due to the time old affliction every parent (except that one friend from the school yard pick up, we all have one) experiences, good old sleep deprivation. Because it’s summer, the older kids are up later. The baby keeps … Continue reading Too Tired
I know you’re as disappointed in that tie as we are. – Actually, I’d have preferred a loss. – You’re kidding, right, Coach ? Well, you learn a hell of a lot more from losing than from winning. Coach Orion – Mighty Ducks 3 Here’s something I noticed that should be a given. It was Game 2 of the season and we had had a … Continue reading You Lose, You Learn
I can’t afford in time and money to go to the gym. I certainly can’t afford to have personal trainer. So what I have like most people, is a selection of fitness videos and podcasts. Therefore I have a number of “virtual” trainers. People in my life who regularly inspire and motivate me. but of whom I have never even met. Here are the list … Continue reading Virtual Trainers
When I talk about the positive changes I made last year I general talk about my fitness goals. But really that was only one side of the change. I was also in conflict because I always wanted to be a writer, but could never stay the course and put things out there. I also found that part of a positive lifestyle was to give back … Continue reading How Apple inspired me
