Living Life To The Fullest
Writers need connections on social media to help find critique partners and places to share knowledge about the writing industry. But sometimes those connections are not helping advance your creative needs. I think we've all been there: you see a closed FB group, whose focus is an area writing you interested in. But you can't... Continue Reading →
Somewhere between mile 5 and 6 on my run this week, when my headphones switched from the flute trills of McCarney and Wing's Live and Let Die to the raucous sound of Immigrant Song (Zeppelin), I was hit with both a rush of endorphins and a revelation about writing. Or maybe it was the beginnings... Continue Reading →
A little over a week ago, I found myself smack in the middle of a long distance triathlon, winding my way up steep hills in California, begging my bike to find just one...more...lower gear that would make the hill climb so much easier on my tired legs. When cyclists passed by, I made a mental... Continue Reading →
It seems so simple. Chapstick. But it is a lifesaver at about mile 60-75, when your chamois cream has worn away and you discover new seams in your riding shorts or cycling shoes that never before wreaked havoc with your skin.

Why #1.5? I loved our visit to Herman Story Wines. It was a close tie for first (see here). And I just couldn't give it second! Read why below. Don't let the small room, cement flooring, and unpretentious attitude fool you. The wines at Herman Story Wines, named after the grandfather of winemaker and proprietor Russell P....

Recently, I posted (here) about bleeding deaths from synthetic cannabinoids, better knowns a Spice, or K2. Now, more than 220 people have been reported as having serious bleeding from a contaminant, Brodifacoum, in the synthetic cannabinoid. What is Brodifacoum? Basically a rat poison that causes hemorrhage and death. What is Spice? How bad is the... Continue Reading →
Not gonna lie. That new Cervelo P5 Lamborghini looks like it could PR me to the finish line. For $20,000, I think it should actually do the race for me and meet me with a beer at the finish. (And give me a full refund if I don't get a slot to Ironman Kona...and podium... Continue Reading →
