Ducati Motorcycles

2011-01-29T09:39:00.008-05:00

I recently had the pleasure of turning 35 years old. My loving girlfriend, Danelle, had asked me what I would like for my birthday. I didn't really have to give this question much thought. For the last 6 months I've really been reading and researching a life-long passion of mine. Suffice it to say, I uttered a brief and simple response, "I'd like a photo of me on a Ducati." There are really

New Business Venture

2010-10-08T13:17:00.000-04:00

I've been working on a new business venture over the last several months. I'd originally heard about this great opportunity to work from home through one of Danelle's relatives. Her cousin had enthusiastically referred me to a company called Arise. Arise Virtual Solutions Inc. is the world’s leading provider of virtual business services for brands seeking to improve business results through

First Day of Kindergarten

2010-08-29T08:31:00.000-04:00

Lauren recently attended her first day of kindergarten! She likes her new school and especially her teacher, Mrs. Skipper. I still have fond memories of my early kindergarten days. We still need to decide on her after school programs. We have lots of choices based on their wide range of activities. I can already imagine the fun we will be having on future posts! Lauren is very excited

Lauren Graduates from VPK

2010-07-24T20:24:00.009-04:00

I've uploaded Lauren's VPK Graduation videos onto YouTube! It seems like only yesterday when I met her and Danelle. Time sure does fly, and as we sat in attendance it was neat to see her progress over the past 3 years. Also, let me say sorry now for the small video window. Still learning how to use all the tools in my software toolbox. I'll try to do better next time. Lauren's VPK

Lauren's Ballet Recital

Lauren recently had her ballet recital with Doxa Dance Studio. She did great on the stage, and on the whole, it turned out to be a high quality production full of dancing and theatrics.

Fun Times

2010-06-02T12:09:00.005-04:00

It's been an entertaining and challenging month. Just enough fun times to get us through our recent move and collectively keep our sanity. A good friend of Danelle's, Kathryn, visited us from the UK. in addition to kicking my ass on the Wii, she helped out a great deal with unpacking, watching Lauren, and cooking. Yum plum sauce by the way! We also visited Cyndi, Orlando, and Ella in St.

Pain Mgmt

2010-04-21T11:27:00.002-04:00

I'm at the Shands Pain Management Clinic in Gainesville. They're testing my sensitivity to heat that's being applied via a probe to my hands and arms. Interesting stuff. I feel a bit like a lab rat though, but I'm getting $50 to participate, so it's all good. Anyone else out there have a similar test performed?

Bhudda Bellies

2010-03-13T18:43:00.003-05:00

I've gained 20 pounds during this latest round of predisone meds. Drugs, no cardio, and constant food cravings can be a challenging hurdle. So it's back to daily walks. Not the 3 mile variety but you have to start somewhere. Coming off the migraines I was in no mood to be walking for kicks. But, in the last week I've held up physically and gotten proper nightly rest. I've been parking far

Getting Back on Track

2010-03-07T09:09:00.002-05:00

This week has been about getting back on track. Nobody likes falling behind for any reason. That feeling of impending doom can be paralyzingly so I generally do my best not to feul the flames. Most likely, my recent energy surge is directly related to modern medicine (e.g. prednisone). I'll take what I can get at this point. I continue making great strides towards my eCommerce site. We are

Remembering Good Times

2010-03-01T04:28:00.003-05:00

It wasn't too long ago that Kym, a long-time friend of Danelle's, traveled South via train from Montreal to Jacksonville. We picked her up on my birthday, January 15th, and spent a few hours walking through a local nature park. Got to meet some cool goats and a clucking owl! We miss you Kym and look forward to the next time you can come visit!!Like this post? Share it by clicking on the "

Indian Cuisine

2009-12-12T15:13:00.004-05:00

Do you know what’s really good on a bone chillingly cold Friday night? Indian Cuisine. Why you may ask? Heat. From the warmth that embraces you when you walk into the restaurant to the blanket of merriness that wraps your tongue in a cocoon of taste sensations. They know heat. It’s their thing.Every now and again we make an effort to visit our favorite restaurants here in town. This one is

Montreal Visit - 2009

2009-11-03T10:57:00.010-05:00

Danelle, Lauren, and I visited Montreal during the first week of September. We had been planning to visit for over a year, but due to health reasons, were unable to make the trip until very recently. It will be remembered as my first official trip out of the country.The trip started with us making our way, via AirTran, to Burlington, Vermont. We were picked up there by Kym and Susan (Danelle's

Sad News

2009-10-25T17:32:00.001-04:00

I received some sad and unfortunate news today. My ex-wife, Tina Copeland, and her 7-year-old daughter Cami died in an airplane crash this past Friday night. Apparently the plane experienced mechanical troubles after leaving Gainesville in route to Lakeland, FL. The pilot for hire reported a mechanical problem and was told land at the nearest airport. News stories indicate that the plane

September at a Glance

2009-09-28T15:02:00.005-04:00

September was a great month! It began with me taking my first trip out of the country to Montreal. I was slightly annoyed at the fact that my passport was not stamped as we passed through Canadian customs. I am still the owner of a shiny, new, non-stamped passport. I guess things could be worse.The trip to Canada was awesome! It was a blast to travel with Danelle and Lauren. I met lots of

Weekend Eats, Pt. 9

2009-07-13T07:14:00.004-04:00

It's been awhile since my last weekend eats post. While I could blame it on a sluggish economy the real reason has more to do with time and priorities. One is a precious commodity we could all use more of and the other is something we learn to deal with as adults. This weekend we were sans child for two afternoons and an evening. We took advantage of our twist of fate by taking in a new
