Kiteboarding In Puerto Plata
Kiteboarding has been on my Impossible List for a long time. I tried it a few years back in Aruba - before my blogging days - but never got the hang of it and spent most of the time getting dragged around by a kite, involuntarily chugging salt water and living in constant fear of losing my board shorts. Ever since, I resolved that I would figure the sport out. This weekend I finally got that chnace. One of my housemates and I decided to go on a random ...
The Cute Butt Strategy: How To Run Your Fastest Race Ever

So, while writing it, I asked Susan to step in on ...
Do What You Can, With What You Have, Where You Are
A few days ago my left shift key broke. I have about 15 years of typing on a keyboard under my belt and it wouldn't seem like it, but it's it's hard as all get-out to keep typing at regular speed and actually stay as productive as I need to be without the left shift key (sorry, right shift key - you're just not as effective). It sounds like a small thing, but I spend at least 5-6 hours a day on a computer typing constantly. Whether it’s writing for the ...
