I work at an online media company. We do very little print work and when we do…it’s a pretty big deal. Yesterday afternoon we were working on the production schedule for a large print project. A production schedule is basically a project plan with a very detailed list of every step in the process including [...]

Working out is quite the self-fulfilling prophecy. Here’s what it’s like for me… I don’t want to go. All I have to do is get in the car…I don’t want to. It’s cold. But, my playlist is great. So I go. Then I figure as long as I’m there I might as well make [...] Okay, okay. I’ve done everything in the world to “prep” to workout. New heart monitor. “Good” workout clothes ready. Gym schedule memorized. New workout program from my buddy Marcus. The only thing missing is…working out. Enough is enough. My big toe just needs to enter the gym. I don’t have to have a big [...] So, you may have heard this one before, maybe you’ve even said it…”I was supposed to start training, but I caught a wicked cold.” Seriously, it’s not an excuse. In my case, it’s the truth. Antibiotics, cough syrup, cold pills, chills…the works. But, I’m on the mend and hope to start training this week. I’m [...] I get it…Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. It would make sense that Everest Base Camp is located at a high altitiude (5,360 metres…17,590 ft). I guess I was thinking that after a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, I’ll be at an altitude of 2,860 metres (9,383 ft). So, all I have to do is go from 9,383 feet to 17,590 [...] Over the weekend I tried to figure put how I was going to start my Base Camp training. It’s time. And, I need a new hobby. I am ready to go to the gym. Not that I like “going” to the gym, but once I’m there I enjoy it. The gym really hasn’t been the same [...] What a great day! My four-year-old nephew and I headed up to Yankee Stadium for a game. The kid loves the Yankees and knows so much about them. He was a little shocked that I knew so little. “Come on, Torry. You know what A-Rod is trying to do.” He had to explain to [...] 
I’m pulling out all the stops to jump start my training! My friend Andy is riding the Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research and education. Instead of giving him a donation, I decided to join his riding team. We’re going to do a 35-mile ride on June 19th. Yep, 35 [...] I have to admit it, today was pretty terrific. I closed the loop on a bunch of small projects that had just been hanging out there until I had “time to finish them.” Unfortunately, not all of my chores are done, but I feel pretty good nonetheless. I guess that’s why people like to [...] I had a 6:30 AM flight to a spa in Miami this morning with an upgrade into first class. Only one problem, my fab, going- to-South Beach pedi and I forgot to wake up. “No prob, take a later flight,” you say. Great idea, except it’s Memorial Day Weekend and “that ain’t happening” according to [...] |
