In July of 2011, I started a new blog. I wasn’t new to blogging by any means. I had an Angelfire webpage or two back when we first got the Internet back in the late 1990s.

When I re-joined the gym back in January, I thought that spending money on the membership would help motivate me to get back into shape. And it did. Sort of.

As much as I tried to be one of those bloggers that have a new post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ve never been that person. Perhaps you’ve noticed that lately, I’ve only gotten worse. …
