SGTSM: Failure, and Giving
I did get my bangs trimmed, but I haven’t posted a new pic. My neighbor is a photographer who has a studio in her home. She’s offered to snap my pic but I’ve just procrastinated about getting it done. The picture on my blog and social media profiles is 5 years old, and I don’t […]

Working My Way Through Crystal Paine’s Book: Part One

I freaked out just a tiny bit, worrying that she wouldn’t be able to eat anything, much less the selection of desserts that would be available. After a quick call to the host confirmed that there would be […]
Favorite Books of 2013
Sadly, I’m terrible about remembering to add the stinkin’ book to the list! Especially library books. I usually end up checking my Amazon.com and Kindle accounts to “remember” what I read. If there was a way to check my library check-outs, this list would be far longer! So this page represents about two out of […]
Alignment Matters: A Review of Katy Bowman’s Book
It’s no secret around here that I’m a huge fan of Katy Bowman’s blog and books. She was one of the last people I interviewed before I retired (for now, at least) the podcast. The compelling and well-researched information on her blog is part of the reason I do all sorts of strange things, such as avoid sitting, walk […]
