Back in February, my 25 year old daughter – who is a teacher and currently looking for a job – asked me if I would go meatless with her for Lent. She was more concerned about the fact that she would not make it 7 weeks if she didn’t have some help with preparing meals.… Continue reading Cheesy Quinoa Bites
I’ve spent my summer outside where using a laptop is not always convenient. I have also spent it with my kids, though they are all adults now. We may not have headed off on a big vacation but we have had a good time. Consequently, despite my best attempts – even downloading a WordPress app… Continue reading Come Visit ViewSPORT with Me
So Wednesday night was the night. I ran my first race since running two marathons in the month of May. No, this is not the way I planned my race schedule. This is the way it worked out as I ended up injured after Buffalo. The run was not pretty. I realized I had really… Continue reading Women’s Distance Festival 5K Recap

I have so many goals that I do not know where to start. My biggest area of concern is fitness. I am suffering from a rather painful case of… Continue reading Accomplished August
I love athletic competitions. I have been to the Winter Olympics – 1980 in Lake Placid. I think that amateur athletics – although the Olympics are not totally amateur – are the best as money is not THE thing. All that under consideration, do you think I watched the London games opening ceremony? If you… Continue reading 2012 Olympics
I thought I had it all figured out. I had to race schedule for July, August, and September that, with my training plan, would put me in good shape for my mid-October marathon. Unfortunately, my foot was still bothering me. First, the schedule. July 26th, the TCRC Women’s Distance Festival 5K. My 25 year old… Continue reading Summer Races
Just a disclaimer. I am a BzzAgent. You can find out more at http://www.buzzagent.com. I was given one set of inserts and coupons – which I have given away – in exchange for sharing my experience with the product. Slowly but surely, I am getting together an outfit to wear to my son’s August… Continue reading Dr. Scholl’s Heels for Her Review
Two years ago when I was first elected to the Maine-Endwell Board of Education, I wrote a lot about losing my voice. There were a lot of school issues I wanted to write about but felt compelled to hold quiet. I have definitely gotten over that issue. I have, though, found times lately when writing… Continue reading Editorial Calendar
