Morning all, Yesterday was most productive in tons of ways. Family-wise, got the kids to the gym, did the circle walk with them, talked about superficial friendships and why superficial people sometimes seem to get an edge over the rest of us, etc. Kids are back in school today. Workwise, I was a tornado. First… Read more
Holiday stress, pushups, Twitter rants, Ikea and more
Morning, I’m ‘way out of condition. During the summer, I could knock off 50 pushups with no problem. I have to get back into that. And during yesterday’s circle walk, I was chatting with my kids and realized one problem I had with sparring; I still mentally think, no proactive head contact; hence, I’m wide… Read more
Making them beg to digg you, Broccoli bunnies, kids karate sparring and more
Morning! Just finished putting out the Easter bunny (The Broccoli Bunny is away on vacation, y’know) goodies and am doing me work. Wrote some rather decent posts yesterday. I found out about the article ‘Why You’ve Got to Dig Digg to Get Dugg‘ ; as it’s written by one of my favorite authors online, I… Read more
Breaking your boundaries, Twitter rants and more
Yesterday’s martial arts was truly an eyeopener.

I’m feeling much better this morning (I’m aching so much my body… Read more
Beat you next week, nifty pix, Ancient Latin, diet blogging and SLEEP! Glorious SLEEP!
Oh how wondrous a full nights’ sleep can be. After the dismal ending to yesterday, I had a vaguely restful night (punctuated by my kids coming in and saying, Mom, it’s scary wind, can we sleep on the floor? And as Mom was less alert than a smoke alarm minus batteries, Mom said, suuuurrree….) Work-wise… Read more
Calgon, take me away
My gosh, if I could just clone another 78 ‘me’s’ to take care of my family so I could just run away for only a few hours! Parenting is such a hero’s journey. Got one kid who decided to tantrum until he threw up. Got another kid who tried helping and ended up poking first… Read more
Recession proofing your business, getting the edge, sick kids and more
Morning all, Yesterday one of my clan came down with a 101 fever – nothing to write home about, of course, but still, enough to cause discomfort. Hence no martial arts yesterday – most of the time was spent comforting said kid, doing some writing, etc. The rest of the family, however, is doing peachy… Read more
