Here we are the end of another year. Actually, that’s only partially true. This isn’t just another year. It was the year I went to Europe, it was the year I finished Timberman. It was the year we settled in and lived our life on the east coast. Our first anniversary and our first Christmas [...]

Yesterday was a rough day for me, having all sorts of problems with my memory, and with some guidance from the nurse at my Dr.’s office, I decided it was time to get a look at the inside of my head. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the crowbar, so instead I went to the ER for [...]

This morning in the shower, I had another memory misstep. I simply could not remember the name of the college at BU that Rachelle is attending. I was thinking about it because of an email I’d read before I started getting ready for work. I kept coming up with Archer and other similar names that [...]

The long holiday weekend is over for most, but Rach and I each have the day off today. It’s a good thing too, because last night Boston got blanketed by 16 inches of snow thanks to a “wicked bad Nor’easter”. It’s gorgeous and snowy out, so Rach and I ventured out for a walk to [...]

Yesterday I was more than a little frustrated with the fact that I’m really on the bench for the first time since getting into triathlons 2 years ago. Several readers were kind enough to give me encouragement through comments and via private communication, and to remind me this is probably just a little bump in [...]

It’s a tough break that my memory issues seem to be related to the strenuousness of my workouts and that in order to get the symptoms to subside, I need to stop training. To be a triathlete, you’re either racing or training; right now I’m doing neither and it SUCKS. Rach has always told me [...]

Each year as the holiday season seems to become more and more commercialized, the warnings about the mass consumption of consumer goods seem to grow louder and louder, with most of us growing increasingly deaf to them. I know the economy is in the dumps, and so it honestly gave me a clear conscience to [...]

It seems that my body is still under the impression that December is the off-season, and that I shouldn’t be ramping up training right now. For the past few weeks, Ive been slowly playing catch up to the amount of training Rachelle’s been doing. She seems to be a bit more prepared for the build [...]

So, To put it mildly my time in Food Central didn’t go exactly as planned. Thursday night I had 3 beers, a plate of dinner, some appetizers and dessert. Sure, not as bad as I could have been, but not as good as I’d have liked. Friday, I fell straight into the trap that a [...]

I am halfway through the period of time I’m calling Food Central. We had Rachelle’s work party last night, and mine is in an hour. I will cop to having 3 beers, and a decent amount to appetizers, but I only had 1 serving of lasagna and 1 small slice of desert tart with blueberries [...]
