Running…again, and again, and again
The excuses finally ran out and I made it back to the gym today for running. I’m within 100 miles of the current target too. I could’ve gotten back into the groove if it weren’t daylight savings time getting in … Continue reading

Still very sad, missing Miette
I haven’t received her ashes from the vet yet but I did get the paw print and it makes me cry still. Miette was the last of the “apartment cats” until we moved into our house, making Nemo the first … Continue reading

Getting better, early June report
Saw the doctor to review the steps I’ve made going forward and backward but overall I feel forward is winning. Does he agree? I think he’ll tell me next week when I have a follow up.

Saw the doctor yesterday, episode late May
The picture above is a representation of my ongoing illness, not what a doctor visit is like. That would be something showing efficiency. It was a stroke of luck he could see me a day sooner than planned. Lately, the medication … Continue reading
Output has been low this year
For my faithful readers, thanks for sticking with me over these years and no, I’m not throwing in the towel. Picayune is just undergoing a lull. It hasn’t been for a lack of material. I mastered the art of finding something … Continue reading

Exercise is back on track…maybe
Austin weather has improved to the Spring levels we like. I’m 90 percent over the flu. I’m getting my life back into a consistent routine. Time to hit the treadmill again! Same for the stair master. Well, it can only … Continue reading

Hiatus continues, darned pollen…
You’d think allergy/sinus issues would take a break during the Winter months. Not a chance in Central Texas. I guess now is when the trees decide to share their output with the bees, hornets, wasps, wind and ants to spread … Continue reading
Still on hiatus…
I’ve been a tad under the weather so it has eaten into my energy/enthusiasm levels on posting. Much has been happening in the world around us too: David Bowie passing away, Glenn Frey and Alan Rickman too. I’m confident others … Continue reading

Recuperating…but still a little tired
Need to catch up on some laundry, namely the new underwear I bought from MeUndies.com. I like American Apparel but given their financial predicament, I wanted to give this company a try as a way to pay back the podcast Stuff … Continue reading

Made it to cruising altitude!
This year I adding the stairmaster to my routine in lieu of putting an incline on my running. Besides, the stairmasters are pretty cool, they have landmarks to give you some perspective on how far up you’ve gone. I’ve exceeded … Continue reading
The new gym at work is pretty sweet
The newer buildings at work in Austin were recently completed while I was away on leave and one contained the new gym. It’s not just larger with more equipment (no more waiting for a stairmaster or treadmill) but the joint … Continue reading
