Go. I worked out last night for the first time, seriously, in maybe two years. The workout itself was not that impressive: 21 minutes on that anaerobic machine that’s like walking on air. I think they call it an elliptic trainer, but I’m not sure. Burned about 267 calories, which I’m happy with. Kept my…

Go. It’s been a long day, and I’m slightly out of sorts from the randomness of all that I’ve been involved in. Not that this is new or unique to me; I thrive in randomness. The difference here is that all of the projects I’ve been engaged in are so, well, engaging, and I’ve been…

A note to my readers: 15 on the Fives is posted twice-daily at 5:16 a.m. and 5:16 p.m. These entries are what I call “vomit” or discovery drafts, where I write uninhibited for 15 minutes. There are no rules about topics, content, form, grammar, or spelling. The only rule is that I don’t stop writing.…

Thirteen Things about rus vw 1….Wickedly green I choose for this first Thursday Thirteen here at rusvw.net2. This is actually probably my seventh or eighth Thursday Thirteen, but up until now, I’ve been blog yo-yo-ing between blogger, typepad, and other blogging sites.

The smartest thing I did at the beginning of this small three-day break is clean off my desk, find the space to plug in my laptop, and sit down and write. It’s been weeks since I’ve been able to do this, and I’ve dropped the ball on staying in touch with all of my friends.…

I’ve set the timer: three minutes to write. I’m working on a feature piece for a local parenting mag that focuses on choosing the right theater arts program. When I saw the theme for the upcoming issue (in August), I realized that there’s so much that goes into choosing the right program, but really, most…

Monday Memories: Did I ever tell you about writing a daddy column for our local paper? Here’s a blast from the past. I published this in January of 2003….and reading it now is a gentle reminder to keep what’s most important at the top of my am-doing list at all times… What Kids Really…

7:05 a.m. I have commented on several occasions with friends over the past three days how ignorant our society has become to MLK and his writings. I don’t know if I want to begin the blame game and say it is the media’s fault, the school’s fault, or WalMart’s fault (Biggest Shopping Day since the…

9:24 p.m. I have a 3-day break this weekend, and with it comes a noticeable absence of commitments to gym meets, workshops, or hair appointments (but i can assure you i have one shaggy head that is in desperate need of the clippers). I don’t need to drive long distances, write challenging letters (although a…

here it is….what I look like now at a whopping 282 pounds. That’s right. Gained 20 pounds since my last doctor’s visit in late August. I cannot wait to post pics when I’ve lost 25, 50, 75, and then 100 pounds. waHOO!!! 🙂
