I have some tough decisions facing me right now…
First and foremost is the decision regarding if I should stick it out my current place of employment or start looking elsewhere. After some discussion today, I’ve found out several *more* people are thinking of leaving and that the replacement for my manager will be announced [...]

Happy Mother’s day, mom! Thanks for everything!

I ventured into Cincinnati today to watch part of the Flying Pig marathon and to cheer on my friend Carrie who was running it. Wow, that was something! It’s one thing to hear about marathons, but quite another to be in the thick of it watching the runners and supporters. Truly an [...]

Woohoo! I did it! I reached my goal of running the entire 5K! Runner 24421 finished in a time of approximately 33:35. Not exactly a fast time, but that wasn’t my goal. My goal was to run the whole thing with no walking, and that was accomplished. Man, I’m [...]
