Fitness Goals: The Mudder
I have one fitness goal for 2013. 6-pack? Fitness competition? Catalog shoot? Look awesome at the beach? Nope...it's to run the Mudder in 2014. Everything else is superficial. This is life-changing. You want abs? Pick a challenge that will make you better, and the abs will be a side effect. Be. More. Awesome. I posted this status update on my Facebook earlier this week. The last part ties in...

Holiday Time!! (well, almost)
Oooooohhhhhhh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the waaaaaay!Oh what fun is on a ride on tim hortons soap and sleigh! Hey! ~ (Mila's version)
It's almost holiday season. That means two things: trying to come up with a Christmas list for the one or two people who might want to buy me something (love you, Mom), and binge cleaning my apartment to make room for the Christmas decorations.
I love...

Let me tell you about Peng...
Peng was my Taiji (T'ai Chi) teacher. This is a guy everybody should get to know. He's friendly, outgoing, and a brilliant businessman. He's also doggedly determined, and more disciplined than anyone else I know.
Peng came to Canada looking to earn a living. He started out small, offering just a few classes at a local seniors' centre. As his reputation grew, he found he had enough money on hand to...

Funny Crap My Kid Says
I have a four-year-old daughter. If I could draw, she (especially in combination with my cat) would be my comic strip. The things that come out of most kids' mouths are usually pretty priceless. But when her cherubic little countenance spouts these things, there's just no way to stop from laughing.
...or cringing.

A Lesson from Hick Abbott
As you know, The Man Sphere is all about improvement. Over the weekend, we in Canada celebrated the observance of Remembrance Day (Veterans' Day in the US), which of course commemorates the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I in 1918. It's a time to give pause and reflect on the sacrifices of veterans from the Great Wars, and of those who continue to serve, in the advancement of the cause...

Live How You Want To Live
I read an interesting meme on Facebook this week that got me thinking. The quote is from Doctor Who, and it reads:
Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.
This struck me as poignant, because I, like many other modern males, have recently discovered that I haven't "lived." Not by this definition at any rate.
I'm a big fan of Tim...

A Much Easier Way To Live
Grandmaster Wong Jianhua (to me, translated by Master Peng): "Don't attack. When you attack, you always have to plan. Where to hit. Where to look for weakness. Where to block. What can he do if you do this or this, and what can you do for each response? And you do this all before you make a move, and if your opponent doesn't do what you've planned for, your attack is finished. Instead, defend. Then...
