• Hello, Hello???

    Is there anybody out there?  Just nod if you can hear me.  Is there anyone home? I know it has been a while since I posted, but it was for good reasons.  A lot has been happening around here with the end of the school year, work, and long course swim season cranking up.  And… [Continue Reading]

  • Epic 107: The Aftermath

    Only you know if you succeeded or failed.  Well, maybe the other 1000 people who read your blog or follow you on Facebook and Twitter know as well (I speak from experience). If you accomplished your goal, take time to revel in what you have done!  If it was truly epic for you then you… [Continue Reading]
