Fond Memories When I started blogging back in 2008, I stumbled upon a humor blog titled “Crotchety Old Man Yells at Cars.” The blog’s owner, Joe, who referred to himself as Crotchety, gave me a good laugh every day. I was honored that he would read and comment on my blog as well. Missing You […]

See You Later
This isn’t a goodbye. As my regular readers know, I’ve been taking time off from this blog to further pursue my writing career. I’ve found it difficult – actually damn near impossible, to balance both the blog and the novel I am working on. As a result, I am stepping away from the blog for […]

Many months back I committed to doing regular updates regarding my weight loss (or gains.)

Earlier this year I swore I was going to average a weight loss of one pound a week. I’m struggling. Much to my dismay it’s time for a weight loss update…or lack thereof. Because many bipolar meds simultaneously reduce metabolism and increase hunger, weight gain can be a serious, unfortunate side effect. I try to […]
A Weight Off My Shoulders
I’m not sure if the weight came off my shoulders, but it came off of something. Unfortunately it wasn’t my ass. It’s been a busy week so I didn’t get to exercise much, but, I did get to the beach one day for a wonderful walk along the strand, and earned 5 Weight Watchers activity […]
No New Year Resolutions, But I Do Have A Goal
I’ve commented before that I gained a lot of weight when I began taking bipolar medication. A Lot. I was overweight to begin with, but the meds made my weight skyrocket to 303 lbs. That’s overweight for pretty much anyone, but especially for a guy who’s only 5’5” tall. You see, not only do some […]
