My brother-in-law, Paul Scarlata, has been gone now for 14 years. It's hard to imagine that much time has passed. Although he never had children of his own, he was always doing things with kids, making them laugh and playing like the big kid he really was. He was greatly loved by all of the …
Danger!
In the spirit of joining, I've decided to follow The Daily Post's photo challenge. The topic of this week's challenge is Danger! Most of my "Danger" situations in recent years revolve around my severe fear of heights. Mount Evans, 14,130 ft --- and driving with no guardrails! HOLY CRAP! On Trail Ridge Road, coming back …
13 months on Keto …
I started my journey to become healthier back in 2015 by joining the Fit Fatties group and completing a dozen different challenges, including doing a 5K, a 10K, taking the stairs, and more. My highest weight, back in April of 2013, was 230 lbs. It gags me to put this out there, but here is …
Sisters Roadtrip to Nashville – part 2
After the race, and a much needed shower, Sissy and I headed back towards Broadway for some lunch and a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame. We really enjoyed the exhibits. My favorite was the Zac Brown Band exhibit, as I'm a big fan. The musical instruments, outfits, and cars were cool to …

Friendship
So many times in my life I've had friends ("friends") that professed to love me. I always took them at their word, thinking that if they said it, then they meant it. Ummm, no, that ends up to rarely be the case. Being (almost) 55, I tend to take these utterances with a very liberal …
I run …
Saturday, April 22, 2017, Earth Day, was cold, rainy, windy, miserable .... and the day of The Color Run. This was my 4th time participating, the 3rd time with my co-worker Gail. Also participating was Gail's husband Don and 4 of their grandchildren. Gail and I had decided, days before, that we would be walking, …
It’s been too long again …
Good grief, I suck at blogging.
We remember …. 9/11
Today we stop and remember the horror of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a solitary Pennsylvania field. Not since the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor, which ushered in the US involvement in WWII, has the country been so rallied together, so pro-USA. So united in tragedy. I had just walked my daughters to their …
