I’ve been off-line for a few days and getting back up yesterday didn’t leave time to add to my own blog. But, it gave me a chance to weigh the pros and cons of exposing the ridiculousness I share with more than few Steelers fans. Superstitions. Being superstitious almost precluded me doing this post at [...]

You’ll see below that Maura has called us all into the gym for some training. We’re still working out how this is going to work, exactly. But please leave as many questions or comments for her as you want! As time goes by you’ll learn more about Maura (she won’t be easy on you) and [...]

My name is Maura Shoop. I’m a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. I’ve taught group classes for twenty years and I’ve recently started my own business. So, now I’m here, to help you through your exercise woes. Everyone’s got ‘em so let’s get started on the first module of the year! As you can [...]

…sounds like fiction. It might be. I was drifting off to sleep with the news on and I swear that’s what the news-caster said. In Isreal, Sharon’s doctors were going to lure him out of his coma with the scent of his favorite sandwich. I could be lying about this, because I was teetering between [...]

Who’s managed to do this so far? NOt me. I’m working up to it. We have to the end of January people.

I feel like I’ve done this post before. But only the title is similar. Max, our dog just puked two humongous piles of garbage on the family room rug.

The controversy swirling around this book is baffling to me. For now anyway. Until the smoke clears and the feeding frenzied blogging world is stuffed full. Then maybe the facts will emerge. Apparently parts of this guy’s non-fiction book have been fabricated. But, the book isn’t a journalistic piece. It’s a memoir. And, I thought, [...]

…almost here. I spoke to Maura tonight and she’s ready to get started in a few days. She’s preparing her tip to get us started and then you can feel free to send your questions. Her first tip is a great one, stay tuned.

Beth and Jake were so well behaved today that every minute of the day was fun and easy. Wow, what a great one. I wonder if the day feels any different to them. They agreed it was a great day, but they couldn’t really say whether it felt better than any other day. Hopefully it’s [...]

…it seems as though every time I’m treated to one of his segments he’s talking about the exact same thing. I know he’s not because CBS can’t possibly believe we’d be so stupid as to not notice. But here he is sharing his letters regarding buying American cars. I thought that topic was beat into [...]
