quick update

After a month of running I’m happy to report my resting HR is averaging around 62 beats per minute. My blood pressure is also down, but not to where it needs to be. One cross-training session has been introduced to the mix per week, so I’m now doing some form of moderate-effort cardio four times […]

i don’t get it

So here’s a pic I posted yesterday, and it’s quickly becoming the most-viewed pic in my stream. I don’t get it at all. To me I just threw this one in there for the hell of it, it’s not posted to any groups, yet people are finding it, presumably because of it’s “interestingness”. I don’t […]

Meaghan Joyce Kealey was born December 3rd, 2006 at a civilised hour, and weighs in at 7lb 14oz. She decided to be a little different and come into the world feet-first, so was delivered via […]

well, that was weird

For a variety of reasons I’m not a big fan of Christmas. I like seeing family and friends and whatnot, but the idea of Christmas itself is not a big deal for me, and I could do without it. Aside from a 2.5′ fibre-optic tree – which got tossed a few years back – I’ve […]
