My dentist called me back this morning. He had an opening at 11:00. I have had a genetic gum disease my whole life. It is most likely that I got it from my paternal grandfather who was able to eat thanks to a complete set of dentures. I have written posts about the trials of gum surgery. [...]

Do I want a what???

They say that man makes the habit and then the habit makes the man. One habit that I have been practicing for years is a weekly 24 hour fast on Thursdays. Today was my day. Fast days are wildly unique. Some days it is a piece of cake. Others are like Chinese water torture. You [...]

I finally made it over to my mechanic’s to get the master cylinder fixed. I asked him to change the oil and oil filter while he was at it. Everything went pretty much like he predicted. He then asked for the key to start the engine up just to give the car the once over [...]
You learn something new every day

I like the guys I work with… I learn a great deal from them. Today for instance, The Steel Trap told me something that I had never heard before… “Do you know that female spiders kill their mates?” “Yes. I did know that.” “Do you know that they are actually merciful?” I had no idea [...]

We drove straight through from Kansas City to New Jersey. My family was late getting out of the house. I can’t understand why…My wife should have planned to put two new front tires on the truck before she packed Since they were late picking me up from work, I walked to Blue Springs High School and waited for [...]
Don’t mess with the glasses!

My eyes are very sensitive to light. On marginally sunny days, I am squinting. If I do that for a whole day, I end up with a pretty big headache… I believe that would be called a “tension” headache. With this being the case, sunglasses are a very important piece of equipment. To complicate matters [...]

You might think that I have been writing about wrestling too much recently. Well, I beg to differ… Everybody loves wrestling. You disagree? Follow along with me… Point #1: God likes wrestling. He sent His angel to wrestle with Jacob. He obviously enjoyed the match because He let it last all night. One of his [...]

The history of man from a different angle

I received a PowerPoint slide show in an e-mail from my father-in-law recently. It is just too funny, especially in light of some of my recent posts. If anyone knows who wrote this, I will be glad to give them credit. Here is the text: In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth [...]

Can I go outside?
December 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment
I am determined to continue exercising. However, these past few weeks have presented my biggest external challenge so far. (For the internal challenges, read “It’s Just Jogging”) First, it is cold here. You say, “Duh! It’s winter!” I realize that YOU might be confused since it has already snowed in Los Angeles, but technically, it is still fall. [...]
A faithful man who can find?

I lost roughly 30 lbs. this year. The typical response is “That’s great!” Actually, losing the weight was pretty easy. For most of the first half of the year, I lived alone and had to cook for myself. That coupled with exercise and a few extended fasts and the weight peeled off pretty quickly. However, [...]
