Basilica of St. Louis
While in St. Louis, I saw a small church where I would cross the street to the Arch. Though I walked past it several times, on my last walk I noticed the doors were open and went inside. I was pleasantly surprised […]
Another 4 Miles+ in St. Louis
My meetings ended much earlier than I had anticipated today, so I was able to get out in the bright sunshine and walk 4 miles! Because of the blisters I had from the previous day’s walk (actually, not fully healed from last […]
4-Miles Under the St. Louis Arch!
I am in St. Louis for a few days for business meetings. Usually when I’m traveling for this job, it is a full day of meetings with maybe a 1-hour break in the middle. (Working lunches.) Today, for some odd reason, I […]

We all like to make the healthiest choices when buying food. Though I know organic foods can be the better choice, I don’t always see the benefit compared to spending the extra money. I recently found these two lists on The Daily […]
Maintaining Stress Relief
I’m not sure that “maintaining stress relief” is even a valid concept. But, I felt so good after yesterday’s walk, I decided I need to walk at least a little most days to help burn off some of my stress. So shortly […]
