My family got a bit of bad news today. Nothing earth-shattering; no one is sick, no one lost their job, nothing is really broken. Something we had hoped for didn’t pan out, and you know, that happens. At least the waiting to hear is over, and that’s the worst part. Tom Petty? He was 100 [...]

What does healthy look like?

There was a meme all over Facebook this week about a woman who reportedly wrote a response to a bulletin posted at a gym. I do not know if any of this is true, so the journalist in me resisted posting it to my wall. Also, many of the memes included a nude photo of [...]
Stress relief gone horribly wrong

Yesterday was a rough day, emotionally speaking. While I was tempted to hit a bakery like a Pro-Bowl-caliber lineman hits a quarterback, I refrained.

Exercise. I excel at…putting it off. I can make a bajillion excuses not to go to the gym. Monday night, Hoylier had a dinner meeting. So that, I reasoned, was a great opportunity for me to go to the gym right after work. Except this is only a two-day work week for me, so I [...]

I hate to exercise. I really do. I know people who are physically fit (and I’m looking at you, Olympic athletes) get high from working out, and believe me, if it made me feel like I did at parties back in the day, I would probably love it too. But I don’t get high. I [...]
