Saturday Greg and I biked the Little Beaver Creek Trail. Our friends Tom & Brett recommended it. It was a great trail, our favorite so far. Most of it was beneath a canopy of trees. We didn’t take the optional covered bridge detour. I didn’t feel like dealing with that type of hill on the…

morning photo project 8.16.2009
We biked a nearly 20 mile trail Saturday with our friends Tom, Brett & Bill. It was quite a trip. We started in Fredericksburg and traveled ten miles to Millersburg, stopped for lunch, then headed back. Oh and the trip back had a gentle incline most of the way. It was cool sharing the trail…
my weight loss journey – the first 5K
I’ve always had issues with my weight. My “spare tire”, if you will. Heck, I may not know how to change a spare tire (that’s one of the reasons I have Greg around) but I’ve begun to figure out how to shrink one. Saturday was an important step on this journey. I did my first…
a hiking kind of saturday
Today on our mission to stay more active, Greg and I journeyed to Kent to check out the new hike and bike trail that just opened in the last couple of weeks. The trail runs along the Cuyahoga River, and there’s a pretty steep path down to the main trail. A great deal of the…
browns game – part 1
This is our view on the Rapid going back to Shaker Heights where we parked the car and where our game tickets still are. We would make awful Amazing Race contestants.
psst…I have the next three days off…
That's right after working seven straight days, four of them late shifts, I'm off for a three-day weekend. What's a boy to do with all that time? Here's my plan: Friday is Mike Day. If I want to do nothing, I'll do nothing. It's all up to me. I'm in charge of my own day….
friday morning | 9:15 am
From my morning walk around the neighborhood. I have the day off today, and I couldn’t be happier.
monday morning | 8:52 am
Heard the new Sarah McLachlan single this morning while I was running an errand. It’s probably not a good idea to snap a photo while driving. I’m working the later shift at work for the next three days, so I have the mornings to myself. I think I’m going to plug my ear buds into…
a walk in the park
Last night Greg and I went for a walk on the newly opened leg of the Towpath. When complete, the Towpath will run from Cleveland to New Philadelphia. The new section connects to downtown Akron with a dramatic bridge over state route 59. It was uphill the entire way to downtown. The walk back was…
