2017: Day 3 2017. What happened to you? You showed such promise! We started with a beautiful polar bear swim then everything seemed to go downhill. I know – I get it. You were completely dominated by the Orange Anus against your will. This is where I spend the next few paragraphs ranting like a … [Read more…]
2016: Day 11 It’s funny how things seem to happen in waves. I remember the first summer Linda and I were together (1992), it seemed like every weekend we attended a wedding; whereas the summers before and after there may have been one each. In fact, there were 2 invitations on some Saturdays. Quite predictably … [Read more…]
2016: Day 2 In 2016, we got to know Stelvis. And the story goes a little something like this. About 6 years ago I was having a ‘life goals lunch’ with a long-time friend and colleague, Stacey. Life goals range from personal objectives to career objectives. Goal setting is a habit of successful people and … [Read more…]
2015: Day 16 and the FINAL day of our 12 DOD! This one is a bit unusual, so please bear with me. As good as 2015 was (and it was a great year), it also seemed to be a year of complex problems. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that complex problems require … [Read more…]

I can’t say there’s any one particular story that stands out this past year but what I’ll remember most about 2015 was the amount of change and the major accomplishments delivered by this strong team. None of it was … [Read more…]
2015: Day 12 After nearly half a century I’m getting pretty darn good at putting my foot in my mouth. Without getting into details, let’s just say I’ve been trying to get back in Tiffany’s good books after carelessly neglecting to acknowledge her in a comment back in July. She was quite correct to shoot back … [Read more…]
2014: Day 12 For the past 4 months, Joel and I have been working with Andrea at Balance In Motion for rehabilitation of our respective injuries, as well as general strength and conditioning. She’s helping me work on my Core strength and develop Glutes of Steel which will help me power up those Gran Fondo … [Read more…]
2014: Day 11 of the 13 DOD (yes, we’ve extended our celebration by 24 hours) Who’s the coolest kid on the block? Anyone who knows Sean M knows it’s him and not Arthur Fonzarelli (The Fonz). The Fonz was always there for his friends and no matter how bad his day was, you’d never know it by … [Read more…]
2014: Day 9 When looking back at 2014, there were a LOT of special and amazing moments. Who gets up on any given morning and suddenly decides (and has the ability) to run a marathon to help out some friends? Tammi M and Barton P do. But the most memorable story of the year belongs to Dan … [Read more…]
