RKF Board Meeting

I am sitting at the Rocketkidz Foundation board meeting. This isn’t a post about the meeting. It is a test to see how I can update my race status from a mobile device. I may just update my twitter account and figure out how I can update that on this website. I guess I will… [Continue Reading]

Not Too Late!

not-too-late

The end of the year is here!  But it is not too late to make a TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation to Habitat for Hope! When you really think about it, it is a WIN-WIN-WIN situation.  You get a tax deduction from Uncle Sam.  Habitat for Hope gets a much needed donation to continue their great work. … [Continue Reading]

Ides of December

IMG_1446

Beware the Ides of December.  That really doesn’t sound like the correct quote.  Oh well, after I had to read the part of Brutus in 8th grade I have never liked Julius Caesar.  Being shy and reading out loud never did go well together.  But we are halfway through the month of December.  Normally that… [Continue Reading]

Sitting on the Sidelines

LSU-Georgia

I am not a good cheerleader.  No that’s not right.  I don’t mind wearing the short skirt and the little top, it’s the fact that I am forced on the sidelines right now that is killing me.  This weekend is full of races.  Last night was the Reindeer run.  This morning is the Baton Rouge… [Continue Reading]

The Louisiana Marathon & Habitat for Hope

LouisianaMarathon-300x199

You know the whole two birds one stone theory?  Here it is.  I am running in the inaugural Louisiana Marathon in Baton Rouge this February.  Why?  Because it is the first one (hence the inaugural adjective).  And because my good friends at Rocket Racing (Susan, Pat, Craig) are putting it on.  As part of the… [Continue Reading]

20 Questions with Timbeaux

interview2

I decided to do an interview with Timbeaux to get some insight into the rationale behind some of his stupidity. 1.  Me:  Why are you called Timbeaux? Timbeaux:  That goes back many years to junior high or high school.  My good friend, Jeff Kearns, and I would always answer the phone by saying, “Hey Jeffro,… [Continue Reading]

Stupid Ideas

balls

One disadvantage to having an overly robust sense of imagination is the massive quantities of stupid ideas that I can come up with.  Normally, I can control my dark side (aka the stupid side of my brain) and keep things in check.  Other times, I fall prey to the over riding sensation of “This might… [Continue Reading]
