I kind of had a break through in the middle of my run last night. I was pushing myself hard; I hadn’t worked out the night before, the night before that was my frustrating failure of a workout and the results were feeling a little sluggish and lazy. (Even I’m amazed at the new attitude [...]
My little potted garden is not so little anymore. In fact if you were to walk out onto my back porch you would think you had entered a wild, untamed jungle. You wouldn’t be far from the truth. It certainly is untamed and I’m pretty positive if I get too close to my tomatillo plants [...]

When I lived in NYC I was relatively healthy; I walked to and from work every day, I rarely was inside the apartment and chose to spend my weekends wandering Central Park and the concrete jungle that is the [...]
