Fly by Night Duathlon Race Report

This past weekend was the 7th annual Fly By Night Duathlon, held at the Watkins Glenn International Speedway.  If you have ever played with matchbox cars, boy or girl…… you develop this secret dream of racing on a racetrack. As a kid my father took us to the Daytona 500 and as loud as it [...]

The Friday Fun

Ahhh, Friday! It’s been a bit of a crazy week for me. Wednesday and Thursday I was sick… low grade sick. Fever, migraine, just not feeling good at all.

Concert

My heart was absolutely pounding for him. It was the annual spring concert, and a concert at our school is a little but different from a concert at a general education school. This is a really.big.deal not only to these kids but to the parents of these kids. It’s not easy for them to get up [...]

I believe in Lance

I believe in Lance Armstrong. That’s a controversial statement to make these days but I believe in him. I believe he is clean. I believe he did not cheat. I am willing to also be proven wrong. I live in a country that states we are innocent until proven guilty. I know there are some [...]

Lucky

For a long time now various friends have been nudging me to write a book. My neighbor Chris, my high school friends Jill and Rachel, strangers who have read this blog. This has literally been going on for years. It’s an incredible compliment, I am a writer by hobby, not by profession. I don’t know [...]
