So, my dad was discharged from the hospital today and he seems to be feeling a bit better. Of course we are not clear of any concern at this time. He still is having difficulty walking and breathing at times. There is still fluid building up around his heart and in his lungs – doesn’t [...]

Although I wish school was closed today – it would have been our first snow day! I will settle for the two-hour delay even though we are the only school district in school today. Every single district around us is closed because of the icy conditions.
Even though school does not start (open) until 10am, I [...]

So I got a phone call a few days ago that my father was in the hospital. A shock to me for two reasons: first, it was my sister who called and the last time she called me was to tell me my mother had died back in 2001. Usually I am the one to [...]

So, it was a Sunday afternoon when I received a phone call from RC, a new friend I met at the Disney Marathon last weekend. RC is a JVP batch mate with ES who met us at Disney with his wife and two daughters. I was introduced to RC who, coincidentally, lives only 15 minutes [...]

Happy MLK Day for those of you in the United States who are off from school or work today. The weather is a bit chilly and there was some snow this morning when I was having my coffee, but just flurries with no accumulation. With a high temperature projected at 40 degrees today, I might [...]

Yes! He is finally here, after searching and looking and waiting for such a long time. For those of you who may have difficulty committing to just one, or even choosing from one of the many options out there, I understand.
It took a few weeks once I started to look for him, but now I [...]

So I am here at the Orlando International Airport four hours ahead of my departure time. There are certainly pros to being here this early and I am taking advantage of them. First, I get to claim a prized work area at the gate where I am supposed to depart from in a few hours. [...]

Yes. I am.
I woke up at 3am, got in the car shortly after 4am and arrived at Disney in time before the roads closed at 5am. The half marathon began at 5:50am and off we went, me and tens of thousands of other runners. I had a good run, feel really good about the pace [...]

Yes, tomorrow I leave for Florida to run the Goofy Challenge. What is that? Well on Saturday I will be running a half marathon (13.1 miles) and then Sunday I will run a full marathon (26.2) miles so in total I will run 39.3 miles this weekend.
Crazy, huh?!?
It sounded like a good idea last year [...]

Yup. That is what they call it during the morning weather report. I am here at home, getting ready for an all-day meeting away from the office, and all I can hear is the tapping of the freezing rain on the roof above me. Right now I am nice and warm, sipping tea and munching [...]
