“The cure for anything is salt water – tears, sweat, or the sea.”–Isak Dinesen I wrote this post while on a 19 mile bike ride with my new BFF bike seat cover. I didn’t use to need a gel seat cover but one day a few years back I was riding a bumpy downhill and… Continue Reading

My Oxygen Mask
Blogging again at cruising altitude. I think I figured out what happened on the flight out to Virginia so this post should stick right here. Fingers crossed. When journeying by air you become familiar with this phrase: “…..if you are traveling with someone requiring assistance, please be sure to put on your own oxygen… Continue Reading
Wholam Clinical Trial update
I am learning more every day, the newest lesson being “how wi-fi works at 30,000 feet”…….I was flying to Virginia to visit William, Kate and my dad and had this post almost done. I thought it would be so cool to publish from cruising altitude and hit a key; all my words instantly flew off into… Continue Reading
Marathon
I really, really hope it doesn’t snow in the morning. Tomorrow is our local marathon/half/5K and bike tour. Sarah and I have been riding this for quite a few years now and except for the first year when we froze our toes off we have had decent weather. This year…..oy….not so sure; it was 32… Continue Reading

I am pleasantly surprised. I thought for sure I would be typing with just a couple of fingers because I could barely raise my arms to the keyboard, and that was if I made it out of bed at all to hobble to the couch. However, I am only slightly stiff and feel pret-ty darn good! The… Continue Reading

It can also be boring and can lead to unhealthy food choices….have you noticed how a whole lot of the stuff that falls into the “grabbing something to eat” category is junk? And expensive junk, too. Badness… Continue Reading
The Return of the Lipids
*Disclaimer* This is an example of one person’s eating/exercise plan. This does not in any way mean it is what everyone should do. Pay attention to your own body’s requirements and do what works for you. Sail your own ship. Now that that’s out of the way, here are William’s lipid panel results, as promised.… Continue Reading
Plowhorses R Us
In describing my family I would say that we are not fast but we are persistent. This seems to be the theme in most aspects of life; willing to do the work and slog through the hard parts to reach the finish line. We are not flashy “first finishers” but we do finish. We are… Continue Reading
Paleo, Paleo, wherefore art thou, my Paleo?
Holy cats it seems like I’ve been gone from here for forever! I had my website hardened to keep all of us safe from the bad guys on the web (Danny Dawes at SiteLock rocks!) and when I resumed writing it just wasn’t coming together nicely. Or at all, for that matter. I finally slowed… Continue Reading
