I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions. There I said it…I know …I am un-American. But honestly I never stick with anything I resolute to doing. With the exception of last year that is. Last year in Jan 2015 I visited the gym that I currently hold a membership with. I spent 45 minutes on the… read more

Being a big fan of bright, humid weather, I must say that when the sunshine broke through the clouds at eight o’clock this morning, I was slightly bummed.
