I have done it. My 7 day average weight was 162 this morning, which means I have finally hit my goal weight and have lost 63 pounds from what was likely my peak weight 18 months ago. I started half-heartedly to lose the weight last April and went into high ...

Finally, on Sunday, we reached the end of Route 66. It wasn't without it's tribulations, because apparently Santa Monica is super busy on a Sunday night. The attraction of the 3rd Street Promenade and the pier made it very difficult to park, navigate and walk around. On the way to ...

The third day was the day to get Missouri done and over with see everything Missouri offers. However, my highlight of the day barely has to do with anything really Missouri-ish. When I lived in Colorado, I loved a semi-national pizza chain called Godfather's ...

Well, the theme of forgetting stuff continued. Only this time, it was not right in front of me. I forgot my medicine. After a very expensive trip to the pharmacy, Susan and I were off to visit the wonderfulness of Route 66 in the Land of Lincoln.
