Training

We’re entrenched in academics and its all fairly standard stuff. For the past week they’ve constantly reminded the new airmen that if they fail, they’ll RTP (return to parent). There is no reclassification and there are no second chances. We actually had an airman come talk to my class about failing – he was [...]

Lacking the intensity

I’ve been unable to find the intensity in all of my workouts. I’ve changed some things around with my schedule and my routine has been vastly altered to break up the monotony. On cardio days, for some reason, I’ve had a hard time pushing myself. I’ve been plagued with minor joint injuries over the [...]

So many things – so little time

Jessica and I are constantly rearranging our schedules. Each week we find that more and more things are pushed to the wayside as we try to fit everything in. Our latest casualty might be going camping this year. I don’t think we have a free weekend available until Labor Day and I’m not even [...]

Another month in the dark

I was up until 6AM watching bad television and bits and pieces of movies. I tried to keep myself entertained throughout the night and I also tried to keep myself jacked up on caffeine so I could keep on keeping on. Why subject yourself to late night torture? I’m heading back to working graves [...]

Democratic convention preempts my fun

Its eight o’clock and I want to watch TV. The Olympics, along with some obscure and nearly unwatchable sports, are gone and back is the regular television schedule. Unfortunately, on the second night on Olympics free television I’ve found that everything that I want to watch has been preempted by the Democratic National Convention. [...]

Hillary just won’t quit!

Hillary won’t quit even though she can’t win – ever. She should throw in the towel because its only hurting her party as a whole. I like John McCain and I also like Obama but I’d rather have a fair fight. Why won’t she quit?

The better answer is that Clinton’s long rear-guard action [...]

A little bit of that and this and that and a….

Ok, so I still haven’t done what I set out to do on my day off but I’m getting closer to it with each passing week. I have extremely little free time on a daily basis as I have scheduled only enough time to plow through my routine. There is no extra time for anything else unless I want to cut into my sleep schedule. I do well on 6 hours of sleep but 7 is better. Unfortunately, I don’t move fast enough when I wake up and that extra hour is imperative. Jessica, on the other hand, wants 10 hours of sleep a night. I have no idea how she sleeps that much and still has enough time to do everything. Even when I am bored and have little to do sleep is always a last option for me – she is down for a nap at almost anytime of the day. Often she insists that I join her – Continue reading A little bit of that and this and that and a….
