I was in so much pain from the gorge walk yesterday that I didn’t go for a walk today.  Instead, I picked blueberries with my mom and my wife.  I used different muscles by squatting for 45 minutes.  We did … Continue reading →

Today was a very rigorous day for me.  It started with a two mile walk with my dad, something we’ve been doing almost every day.  I hope to keep this trend running when I get back to California. When I … Continue reading →

We all got up nice and early today to do an all-day car drive!  Who doesn’t love one of those?  We left on time!  The iPod continued to play album-oriented rock albums (I’m expanding my kid’s musical awareness).  Today we … Continue reading →
