Today is a doubly reflective sort of day for me. First and foremost, it’s Memorial Day and secondly, I’m getting ready to travel to London on a red-eye out of JFK tonight for a work conference all week. Memorial Day makes me reflect for what are, I think, fairly obvious reasons and travel always makes [...]

Themes sometimes run through my mind and because of that, they also end up on this blog. The post I had from Friday was all about the Global Corporate Challenge and how, despite my initial snobbery at the notion of 10,000 steps a day making any kind of difference to super-fantastic and ridiculously awesome ME… [...]
For a small change of pace, I decided to fire up a video blog for today instead of the typical typed post. Why? Change of pace. Not in the mood to type. A chance for all of you humble people to soak up the handsomeness that is me. Just a little post about how my [...]
Your Pathetic Little Box
May 27
It’s a place each of us knows to one extent or another. Maybe you have been there your whole life, always struggling to peek out and hoping to find a moment to break free. Maybe you have broken free, only to return to its dispiriting, but oddly comforting enclosure. Or maybe you have freed yourself [...]
What you see above is the reason for the title of this post… because I will be up on the shelf for the next few weeks as I finally decided to do the smart/mature/wussy thing and take a little time off from lifting. Why oh why am I doing such a thing? Above are the [...]

Greetings from 35,000ish feet. I’m on my way back from Florida and despite the cramped conditions in coach here on Delta Flight 1580 from Atlanta to Hartford, I figured I would bust out my laptop and have at it. As I wrote in my previous post, when I am out of my regular locale [...]
Changes in Latitudes
May 21
Ahh. Vacation day. I’ve spent a chunk of the past week in Bradenton, Florida for work and decided to take today as a vacation day with a flight back home tomorrow… but not before going to check out this spot: If there is one thing I’ve noticed, it’s that Jim Morrison (kind of) had it [...]
Yesterday (and today too, quite frankly) was a completely beautiful day here in the Nutmeg State with bright sunshine, a little blustery and it looks like it is only going to get nicer. These are the days that, when I was younger, I would look forward taking a trip to one of my favorite places [...]
The company for which I work has a shutdown period that occurs between Christmas and New Year’s every year. Truth be told, it’s a pretty darn nice benefit, especially given the fact that it’s a time of where I would be looking to take that time off regardless. I have spent that time doing a [...]
