AHS Poutine

BigLance — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:18:20 +0000

Or, as the early 90s cafeteria staff called it… “Fries all the way”. I just read a Houston Press Eating our Words blog post about the Tex-Cajun poutine at BB’s in Montrose. I haven’t had a chance to get over there for some food, but it’s on my list of places I want to go [...]

Road Trip!

BigLance — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:14:21 +0000

I haven’t posted on here in ages. We’re planning a road trip for Friday to go see one of the wife’s friends in Georgia. We’re keeping it as cheap as we can. I’m taking pimento cheese, munchos and a cooler level cheap. Thankfully, we both have MP3 players we can load up with all kinds [...]

Weigh In 3/17

BigLance — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:26:36 +0000

Just a quick check-in for a blog weigh in. As of this morning, I weighed 257.6, down by about 5 lbs in the last 4 weeks since we’ve been going to the YMCA.

Weigh In 2/28/09

BigLance — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:54:48 +0000

We’ve been going to the YMCA for 2 weeks now, and I’ve done the full week’s worth of the Podrunner Intervals trying to work up to running a full 5K. Over the last 2 runs on the treadmill, I’ve done 1.8 miles each time, and also found that my wireless HRM that I got from [...]

Exercise

BigLance — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:03:23 +0000

The wife & I jumped into the workout pool deep end this week, joining the YMCA on Monday. So far, it’s been good, got to do a little on the treadmill Monday night, and did about 35 minutes on elliptical machine on Wednesday. I’m still a little sore from that, but I’m looking forward to [...]

3 years down, almost

BigLance — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:46:53 +0000

Today is my little girl’s last day as a 2 year old, her birthday is tomorrow. My wife and I reflected briefly last night on what it was like in the hospital during that time. Becky was admitted Wednesday morning to be induced, and after little progress over the first day, they took her off [...]

Skool Daze

BigLance — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:25:55 +0000

I enrolled in class out at the local college for the Spring in order to start working on my education again. I’ve enrolled in English 1302, which may not be too smart, considering I took 1301 in the Spring of 95. I also am taking Finite Math, which seems like math for business (so far [...]

Not so common

BigLance — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 23:08:00 +0000

Lance isn’t a very common name, there was only one other Lance in my graduating class of over 500 people. I’d guess for the normal every day Lance, a nickname of biglance isn’t that likely. It’s interesting to occasionally google “biglance” and see what I come up with. Sometimes, it’s me, others it’s not. For [...]

MLS Cup 2008 Drinking Game

BigLance — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:26:31 +0000

Run of play: If someone is booked take a drink. If they are sent off, then finish your drink (alternative – shot of schnapps/Jager). If a penalty is awarded, take a drink. Everyone must finish thier drinks at half time (and at end of regular if it goes to OT/Penalties) and no further drinking during [...]
