Onward And Upward

Friday, April 23, 2010

Not too long ago I was able to run 5 miles and barely break a sweat.  It was glorious.  I was fit, had tons of energy, my clothes fit nicely.  Then, for whatever reason, maybe things happening around here, bad weather, just plain laziness, whatever, I still can’t quite figure it out, I quit running [...]

This is originally a comment I wrote (found in sidebar) and I decided to make it a post.    Please note the following:
___________
Stan et al, as far as I recall I have never attacked you [or anyone] on the internet personally.  You may find my comments around the web to be, in your opinion, contradictory.  [...]

Drugging Kids & Bristol Palin

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

I don’t feel like writing today but I have read some great posts I thought I’d link to.
First the serious post.   This is a great post from Stan which further goes into the drugging of children in America.

Highlights from Day 1 and 2

A Behanding In Spokane – this is the play we saw the first night.  It was incredible.  For [...]

Sin and love and fear
are just sounds that people who never sinned nor loved nor feared
have for what they never had and cannot have
until they forget the words

I am not having a great day over here.  We had a great weekend and Rye had a great weekend but his was a little too great and a he was brought home little too late yesterday evening.  And so, as is so predictable, he did not make it to school today.

The Zen Of Downhill Skiing

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Rarely do I see Rye as at peace with himself and his surroundings as he is when he is downhill skiing.  There is something about it that hits every area of his brain in perfect harmony.   It is exciting yet peaceful.  Athletic yet fluid.  Energetic yet silent.  It engages the whole body and simultaneously calms [...]

Nighthawks

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Sometimes it is so nice to sit alone at night and think.  Just to be.  In peace.  Surrounded by people, yet alone.
This was me last night.  Rye was night skiing and I sat by myself in the lounge reading and people watching while he was on the slope.  Night brings such a different perspective to [...]

A Good Day

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Yesterday we had a really nice day.
I am keeping Rye home now.  He told me he would rather drive a nail through his head than go back to his current school.  That doesn’t sound too pleasant so…I have called about the transfer to the other school but I think after yesterday I’m really leaning to [...]
