Well, it’s official. At approximately 4:15 am on December 21, 2015, I passed the 1700 mile mark for miles walked this year. I hope to now end up around 1730 miles before the year is up. Maybe even further! We’ll see. I’ve already set my 2016 goal at 1,900 miles. I’m already feeling intimidated! And,Continue reading “First Down and Goals to Go”

Time Keeps On Slippin’
Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Since January 19, so about 6 weeks. One would think that after 6 weeks I’d have something to say, wouldn’ one? Well, not really. First, meet the new Eric! Don’t get used to it. I am thinking this’ll probably come off some time around 3/31/15, maybe even sooner.Continue reading “Time Keeps On Slippin’”
Picacho Peak Peak
Wow! Has it really been over 3 weeks since my last post? I really hadn’t intended to go so long between posts. But, it’s been a bit of a weird month, and maybe that is why. Well, then, I guess I had best get y’all caught up! August 9 (the date of my last post)Continue reading “Picacho Peak Peak”
On the Trail Again
It’s been an active week for me. Last Saturday, Scott and I got up early (actually I got up at my usual time, 5 am – Scott got up early) and we loaded the girls in the car and drove over to La Llorona Park. Last November I wrote about La Llorona Trail, you canContinue reading “On the Trail Again”

Not So Lonely Canyon
September 29, 2013. Yesterday, Scott & I joined 2 friends for a wonderful hike in Soledad Canyon. For those who might wonder (really? No one wonders?) Soledad means loneliness. There were enough hikers up there that I don’t think the name applies much anymore! Today, we’re off to First Christian Church, then to brunch withContinue reading “Not So Lonely Canyon”
Go Away Morning Chill
September 28, 2013 Yesterday, I attended a job fair at city hall. It was heavily weighted towards law enforcement. Dona Ana County Sheriff was there, as was fish & game. The Army was also represented. And there was a private security company. I did manage to leave a few resumes, and talk with a coupleContinue reading “Go Away Morning Chill”

Then, Saturday evening,Continue reading “Social Butterflies”
