My Colonoscopy
Posted February 27, 2010 – 11:12 am in: JournalI was about 10 years overdue for a colonoscopy when I finally had my first one last Wednesday.

Posted February 23, 2010 – 6:40 pm in: FitnessNo, I’m not talking about a day at the office.
I’m talking about an exercise routine last night at the Kachmann Mind Body Institute.
The “heavy” dumbbells in my weekly training sessions are the 15 pounders. They seem real heavy during some exercises and not so very heavy in others. My arms are skinny as well as [...]

Posted February 6, 2010 – 8:30 am in: JournalI’ve had a patch of stuff on my scalp for several months. It seemed to be related to a minor problem I’ve had over the years with overactive oil production.
The patch was noticeable by touch, and over the weeks I could trace its progress with my fingers. It felt as if it were expanding a [...]
Sore Buns
Posted February 2, 2010 – 9:12 pm in: FitnessMan is my butt sore. Both cheeks. Distributed discomfort in my derriere. Positive pain in my posterior. Shock and awe in my . . . Well, you get the point. I am seated, but painfully so. Once down, I dread standing up because I know what to expect. MORE PAIN.
I’m not complaining, mind you. Just [...]
