One thing I've done recently that had a big impact on my health was to work with a personal trainer (online). I wasn't really sure what that would be like so I thought I'd share why I found one to work with and how that went for me in case others are curious. Why a… Continue reading Working with a Personal Trainer

Two Years of Healthy Changes
Two years ago today I started yet another new exercise plan. I'd been stopping and starting with exercise over the previous year, but I just hadn't been able to get it to stick. This time however, I've managed to keep it going. I've done some form of exercise at least 3 days a week for… Continue reading Two Years of Healthy Changes
Lesbian Fiction and Romance
In the last year I've been reading a lot of lesbian fiction, mostly romance. I've been enjoying myself, but it also feels a bit like a dirty little secret. Romance books are the stereotypical realm of the middle-aged woman, and well I'm a shining stereotype I guess. I've gotten so much joy from some of… Continue reading Lesbian Fiction and Romance
Preparing to be Left Behind
My wife left to hike the Appalachian Trail just over six weeks ago. It's been quite the experience so far for both of us and I want to talk a little about what it's like being "the one left behind". There are a million blog posts by hikers, but not so many from the family… Continue reading Preparing to be Left Behind
Catching Up
Wow, it's been almost 4 years since I've blogged. Certainly not the first break I've had in many years of having a blog, but this was a good long one. Since I last blogged I've been pretty busy and haven't really felt like trying to articulate the normalcy of my life. For a quick catch-up,… Continue reading Catching Up
Getting Started as a Board Director
A few months ago I ran for, and won, a seat on the Drupal Association (DA) Board as an At-Large Director. I’d like to share my journey with everyone, both to provide another look into the work that the board does, and to understand what it’s like to be a new board member. I’ve now… Continue reading Getting Started as a Board Director
Joining the Drupal Association Board
Wow. That was the first thing I said when I found out that I had been elected to the Drupal Association Board. The next thought was how much trust the Drupal community has put in me. I’m honored to be elected. Thank you. I also want to thank my fellow nominees, who all stepped forward… Continue reading Joining the Drupal Association Board
How to Vote for Drupal Association Board Members
The Drupal Association (DA) At-large Board seat is now open for voting. The polls will remain open through March 20th. (Note: I couldn’t find this written down, but I believe this means until 11:59pm UTC on the the 20th.) To be eligible to vote, you need to have a Drupal.org account already, and to have… Continue reading How to Vote for Drupal Association Board Members
Drupal Association Board Elections Are Important
A week ago I stepped up and nominated myself for the Drupal Association (DA) At-large Board position. This wasn’t a decision I made lightly, and I’m very excited to see so many other people have nominated themselves as well. There are 24 people up for the vote, which bodes well for a strong community. I… Continue reading Drupal Association Board Elections Are Important
Something and Coke (aka Coketails)
The fifth drink in the list I’m working through, is one that I’ve actually never ordered, and I can’t tell you if I’ve even ever had one. I’ve combined two very similar ones here, based on the main ingredient, Coke. I’m talking about the highball classics Rum and Coke (aka Cuba Libre) and Bourbon and… Continue reading Something and Coke (aka Coketails)
