Underemployed & Exercise

My last post was Change and Exercise but this one is a bit different from that.  Over the last few years I’ve had contract jobs, part time jobs and just been underemployed like many other people.  It has been a yo-yo life for the last few years.  I have learned & relearned a few things … Read more

Change and Exercise

We are three days into the New Year and over the last few days have been seeing people posting their resolutions online or talking about a change they want to make.  A friend was talking about how he needs a change in his exercise routine.  Hiking no longer provides the natural high it previously did. … Read more

Thank you 2011

Appreciative List

On this day of Thanks we usually gather around the table and announce what we are thankful for.

Realized this morning I … Read more

Adventure Friday: Detour through Hollywood

A few of my friends and I are in between gigs like many people nowadays.  My friend, David, decided to christen Friday – Adventure Friday. This past Friday we opted to go to the Bowl and see if we could catch Berlin, the B-52s or any of the other bands rehearsing.  We got there only … Read more

Hollywood Bowl Rehearsals Open to Public
