Fitness Update
Posted October 28, 2009 – 9:00 pm in: FitnessMonday’s session at Kachmann was pretty intense. Erin had me using 8 and 10 pound weights in various exercises. I wish I had photos or videos of the exercises because it’s very difficult to verbally describe what they consist of. Take my word for it, though, that they were pretty difficult. Especially in the third [...]

Posted October 26, 2009 – 9:38 pm in: JournalI am so happy. I can’t believe my good fortune. I’ve been using the online dictionary of Dictionary.com and thesaurus of Thesaurus.com for over a year. They are accessible at the same place, and are run by the same organization. I like using both of these tools because they are easy to use and provide [...]

Posted October 25, 2009 – 8:09 pm in: FitnessI bought a new toy. No, it’s not a Harley-Davidson. It’s also not a piece of electronics. It’s what you see in the photo. If you need help, I’ll give you a hint. It has something to do with development of the upper body. Yes, you guessed it. It’s a set of adjustable dumbbells. Very [...]

Posted October 24, 2009 – 10:53 am in: History, JournalWorms – slimy and yucky and gross as most of them are to us – are a primary source of food for many creatures. Birds eat worms, especially birds like Robins and Bluebirds whose diets consist mostly of insects and other forms of life that crawl and wiggle. Lots of other animals eat worms, including [...]

Posted October 22, 2009 – 5:53 am in: StillwaterMy book is about the early days of basketball in Northern Indiana. As one might imagine, some research is mandatory before even starting a novel about a time period that’s different from the one the writer resides in. I did much research for my novel before I had even considered writing a novel about the [...]

Posted October 20, 2009 – 5:19 am in: FitnessI attended my third session at Kachmann Mind Body Institute yesterday evening. I felt pretty good when I started, but it didn’t take Erin long to burst my bubble. I was taxed after the second repetition of the first set of exercises. The most difficult for me was the staggered pushup. This involves doing pushups [...]

Posted October 19, 2009 – 5:55 am in: JournalI don’t know how you’re doing these days, but I’ve been experiencing pain. The level of pain is not something I can’t deal with. I don’t take drugs for it. But it sure can be aggravating. Pain comes with the turf, so they say. The turf I’m referring to is advancing age. I’m not sure [...]

Posted October 14, 2009 – 8:55 pm in: StillwaterI’ve hit a minor roadblock in the story. Having broken Ivan’s leg and caused a substantial permanent disability for him, I now have to adjust things a bit to get the story back on track. The issue at hand is in the handling of Ivan’s immediate and long term reaction to the disability. An entire [...]

Posted October 13, 2009 – 9:15 pm in: FitnessI felt pretty good today after last night’s training session. I walked a good long distance midday. Before leaving the office at 5, I changed into my biking attire and drove to Buckner Park. I parked the car, filled my water bottle at the drinking fountain, and rode 14 miles. The highlight of the ride [...]

Posted October 12, 2009 – 9:58 pm in: FitnessYes, I went back for more. I figured it was a good time for the second session, since most of the pain from the first session had almost disappeared. I forgot to take my water bottle tonight, so I had to use a paper cup provided by the kind people at Kachmann Mind Body. The [...]
