An American in Paris: Day 2
Saturday, December 30th, 2017 Travel Journal Continued… “I woke up way too late today. Jet lag hit me harder than I was hoping. I slept till almost 10am and the whole morning was wasted. However…I feel very well rested, so maybe it was for the best. Paris weather is a lot like Florida’s. It can’t…

Star Wars Boot Camp
Well, once again I’m standing at the start of a workout series. The last one was very successful. I felt good, I felt fit and then life interjected and while I haven’t completely regressed, I have not been at the level of fitness I’d like to be. The kind of level that energizes me. The…
