Things have been dark and stormy in my life the last few weeks and if I need a break, I’m guessing the readers of my blog might need one too. So here are some miscellaneous thoughts, a virtual Friday potpourri: Is there anybody more fun to watch than Shaun White?…
Dude Looks Like A Lady
I say that this blog is about the roller coaster ride that is searching for a new job and today I once again reached the top of the hill on that roller coaster and nearly threw up. My hands were sweaty, yet ice cold, and the tears in my eyes…
C:Sister_Rain>Reboot
I am not one of those lucky people who feels endorphins racing through them after exercise. I think when God was giving out endorphins, He skipped me. I have noticed though, that I get a mental clarity during exercise and it sort of lines things up in my mind that…
