Wow.  It’s been almost three weeks since I’ve written anything.  That’s three weeks without a weigh-in, three weeks without my wonderfully witty banter, and three weeks of digital blight upon my domain.  Get it?  Domain?  Like dot com?
Ahem.  Right.  Rapier wit, indeed.
I haven’t been idle, however!  This has just been crunch time at school, and [...]

What’s this?  A mid-week post?  It is!  It is indeed!
I’m afraid I’ve left the tremendous number of readers I have here (all three of you) a little in the lurch by not posting anything but Friday weigh-in blogs.  Well, this is not a weigh-in post, and it’s not Friday, so rejoice!  After all, I’m only [...]

I lost seven pounds this week.  Pretty cool, huh?
One of the biggest pieces of advice I hear, pretty much from everyone, when I talk about losing weight is this:  “Don’t think of it as having to lose over two hundred pounds, do it in five pound chunks”, or “take baby steps and you’ll get there!”, [...]

Holy cow, has this week been busy!
School started on Monday for the kids, and Tuesday for me.  I was scheduled to be there Monday evening, but the Spanish class was canceled.  Fortunately, I found another – and I say fortunately because I’m truly enjoying the class so far.  It’s small, with only five students, and [...]

I had something interesting happen on Wednesday, and I figured I’d share, a bit belatedly.
Earlier in the week, The Digital Kid asked if he could go check out a new place in town, called The Haven.  Now, I’d seen the place, looking over the edge of a bridge that crosses a series of Santa Fe [...]

I was up early this morning, brought suddenly awake by a wrong number dialed to my cell phone.  Being wide awake – and I was, at least then, though I’ll admit to being a little bleary now – I ran through a quick check of all my social networks.  Now, normally I don’t use Twitter [...]

According to a recent article in The Sun, actor Samuel L. Jackson is tired of these mother-bleepin‘ bloggers on this mother-bleepin‘ internet.  You see, it seems Mr. Jackson has gotten the short shrift from those in the world of weblogs, and is frankly quite tired of their ability to critique him from behind a mask [...]

I’m told this winter will be mild.  Mild, however, is a relative term.  If the area you’re in usually drops down to the single digits, mild might be an average temperature in the teens or low twenties.  Still pretty freakin’ cold.
And there are people who are going to have a much harder time of it [...]

Last week, I ended up with a net gain of three pounds.  Three pounds!  I didn’t comprehend how I could be changing the nature of how I eat and how I act, and still gain.  But I did.  It was devastating, but it also thrust me forward, into the mindset required to push myself.  I [...]

So… I’ve been on Facebook for a while, and MySpace, and I even had a Twitter account a while back, but it all really paled in comparison to having my own domain, my own .com where I could do as I pleased. I have that, of course, in bigsimon.com and a dozen other domains [...]
