As I went out for a run this evening, I had an epiphany about one of the major differences between Conservatives and Liberals. Mind you, this is not the only difference, but I do believe it is si...

My best friend, Rod Martin , had this to say: > Oh, and just one other thing. I'm already hearing this or that > conservative whine about how "well, God's put us under jud...

I decide to get this thing going again, and then I promptly leave town for 10 days.  I'll be back in Texas soon and back to the grind.

Ron Paul There were a lot of Ron Paul supporters at the Convention.  Some people see that as a bad thing.  I do not.  Most of my discussions with other Republicans have gone something like t...

The Platform I am sure that there are other areas of disagreement about the Texas Republican Platform , but it seemed like the only plank people wanted to argue about was the one on Immigration...

There are so many things I could talk about relating to this year's Texas Republican Convention.  These thoughts will be somewhat random and will appear over the next several posts. I was nomi...

It truly shocked me to see that I had not blogged since December 2010 (and that wasn't a real entry).  I blame Facebook . Since my last real post, several things have happened. Most importa...

Wow! Really a year and a half without a post. Am thinking it is time to get serious about regular blogging.

All of a sudden, I am getting tons of Spam comments. I've had to turn on Comment Moderation. I hate to do it, but I see no other way. Maybe I'll do a better job of blogging. But I make no promi...

Marathon training has been a little rough. It never dawned on me that donating double red blood cells might not be a good idea when one is running about 20 miles a week. Work has been a little w...

Because of the opening of 42nd Street last Friday, I had taken the week off from running, so this morning was my first day back on the pavement since Saturday the 10th. I decided to push my pace ...

This week has been pretty tiring as we have been in crunch for tonight's opening of 42nd Street at GSM. I decided that I needed to take a break from my marathon training because of the late night...

It has been a crazy spring moving into summer. As you can see from the posts below, I started running in January in an effort to get in shape and start the preparation for the White Rock Marathon...

Okay, I've decided to get more structure for my running. A friend at work suggested Couch to 5K , so I downloaded the podcasts, and I'll be using it to help me avoid burnout and injury.

I have never liked running. I would prefer to ride a bike, but I know that running is actually a better cardio-vascular workout. Plus, I have that goal of running a marathon. That's not a "bucket...

Day 2 Ran a mile. Walked the rest. This has to get easier. My hands were freezing, too.

Before the February 16th opening of early voting, I will post my opinions on the various contested races in Kaufman County and Precinct 2. I won't opine regarding the Precinct 4 Commissioner's ra...

I swung over to Luke's Locker after work this evening to get some running shoes. They examined my feet and watched me walk and run to get an idea of what type of running shoe would best suit me....

I can use the time that the Cowboys would have been playing next week and on Super Bowl Sunday to exercise.

I had received over 18,000 hits here since I first started in July 2005, but I've reset my counter to reflect the new era.

I can't explain why I haven't updated here since April. Let's blame it on Facebook . Life has been through many twists and turns over the past 9 months. To keep it short: Work is still work. ...
