As you can see by his picture, my mutt lives a very stress-free life. It’s because he doesn’t have too many commitments and he allows time every day for fun and relaxation. Me on the other hand, well, I’m full of stress (even though it’s not always apparent to others). One way I reduce stress [...]

My mutt isn’t allowed to go to rugby practices anymore. He gets too excited, thinks he is the starting outside center and doesn’t like to sit on the sidelines. And he can’t get enough of that odd-shaped ball. I don’t think anyone has seen me do it, but sometimes I take my rugby ball out to a baseball [...]

I had to slow down every 10 minutes during today’s run in order to break the ice from my eyelashes. The temperature at 6 a.m. here in Fargo was a balmy 4 degrees, close to a record low for March 8. This is warm compared to some of the past Saturdays when it was -15 [...]
