Wow, the way this year kicked off took me by surprise. I’ve never experienced such an intense mix of gains and losses in such a short span. Some have suggested that my move to Sikorsky put my own interests ahead of friendships, but the truth is, it’s been a blessing in disguise. It helped me…

Today I have got up late and my excitement for work is just not there. It must be that time of year. Also my training program has to be started all over from the beginning since I have been sick and injured for the last two weeks. Bummer. Well I will take this chance to…

Late nights have become a bit of a habit lately, but last night wasn’t too bad. I unwound with a movie – ‘Glass House,’ a decent thriller that kept me engaged. But the real highlight of yesterday? I got accepted into Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)! It’s a big deal, yet I’m here, pondering if I’m…

Waking up to a winter wonderland, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, still buzzing from last night’s epic NHL 2002 marathon. The world outside my window was a pristine blanket of snow, glistening under the early morning sun. It’s not every day you get to witness the first snowfall of the year, especially when…

Mom and dad also got a new computer, and I figured it was time that I too got one. It is a Dell Dimension 8200 and is pictured above. I am getting better from a bout with the flu and missed a whole week’s worth of work. Today I finally feel better enough to work…

Just got back from hiking and working out in Watkins Mill State Park where I used to work when I lived here in Missouri. We are getting ready to go out hunting for a open grocery store since we don't have any food here to eat. Good planning eh. Tomorrow want to take Kathi and…

We did Christmas today as we went to Chad's (my sisters boyfriend) dad's house. I pigged out and later went to Wallace State Park to go running with Marcy my dog. I had a good time.

You wouldn’t believe what 13 hours on the road can do to a person. It’s a journey of endless highways, quirky roadside attractions, and the kind of self-reflection that only comes when you’re alone with the open road. My trek from Ohio to Kansas City was nothing short of an odyssey, an epic in its…

There’s something exhilarating about the whir of wheels on a trail, the cool breeze against your face, and the thrill of mountain bike racing. This week, I’ve been revving up to get back into the game, setting the stage for an adventure on wheels! Heart Rates and Handlebars First things first, establishing a heart rate…

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit off, and I apologize for not keeping this website as updated as it should be. Suzy and I haven’t spoken in a long while, and it’s been weighing heavily on me. It’s a tough spot, but I’m determined to bounce back, even if things can never return to what…

Well, it is Thanksgiving and I went on tour this year. I started by going to Glens Falls to pick up my friend Paul Bardis. We then trekked to Binghamton New York and Did a Thanksgiving buffet at a place called the Silo. Very good stuff. On Friday we traveled to Plattsburgh and I hung…
