Back in 2007, I wrote a post on Black Friday. At that time, I swore I was finished with shopping but did end out going to purchase one item at a home improvement store so not as bad as a toy store but still. I also made some mention of Cyber Monday and Black Friday… Continue reading Black Friday
I ran a fantastic race while I was out in California. I discovered the Palm Springs Tram Challenge, a 6K run/walk that had a 2000 foot elevation increase, online.

That good friend attitude is what I found when… Continue reading Real Moms Love to Eat – A Book Review

I was not hiding under a rock but did not pay particular attention to the… Continue reading Penn State Thoughts
I just spent two weeks in the desert southwest. My mom lives near Palm Springs, California and I went out to celebrate her seventieth birthday.
