3rd week of January 2023 — I’ve made it 21 days out of the 75 days of 75 Hard so far. I like the fitness, diet, and reading parts of the program. I don’t like the daily progress photos or drinking the gallon of water every day, but I’m doing it anyway. This week’s photos are…

2nd week of January 2023 — I can’t believe we’re two weeks into the new year already! I’m actually sticking with the 75 Hard program that I started on January 1. This program is more than a diet — it’s got fitness, reading, and hydration added to it, so maybe that’s what is helping me stay…

Howdy ho! — I’m Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo Seasons Greetings to all of you! Source I’ve never really watched South Park. I’ve seen maybe three or four episodes in my 41 years and I expected to keep it that way. I was never…

November 29-December 3, 2022 — I took the lead image on Friday, December 2. It was our last night in Cleveland, Ohio. I liked the night photo of the Cleveland sign better than all of my daytime photos. I didn’t take any photos on Monday because I was busy at work, getting ready to spend…
