Day 141 – Red Sauce Casserole

I took my “regular” 3.1 mile walking loop today and walking is still harder than it was last week. My girlfriend Chris points out I did walk extra long when Catherine was visiting due to the walking in the Mall of America and that makes sense. I’ll do shorter tomorrow and build back up. I … Read more

Day 140 – Tuesday

I’m back in the office after visiting with my daughter over the weekend. I got my Craigslist advertisements posted. I like how it turned out and posted in both the Sacramento and Minneapolis/St Paul regions. I don’t know that I’ll get responses but I’m glad it is out there and it is a $10 experiment. … Read more

Day 139 – St Paul

Minnesota Capital

Today my daughter Catherine and I visited around St Paul. Our first stop was the state capital for a really interesting guided tour. Just last year they had finished an extensive renovation of the capital building to bring it back to how it was when it first opened and it was gorgeous inside. We were … Read more

Day 138 – The Mall of America

Catherine at the Mall of America

Today’s agenda was taking my daughter Catherine around to some things on the Minneapolis side of the twin cities. Though first we had to visit the Mall of America. Locals don’t go there willingly so my girlfriend Chris dropped us off and we entered. Catherine was amazed by the size of the amusement park inside … Read more

Day 137 – Corn Feed

I started out with a trip to the farmers market and some other grocery shopping to get ready for the corn feed. My daughter Catherine is arriving to visit for a couple of days on her way back to Sacramento from Washington DC and the Sons of Norway corn feed is this evening. I made … Read more

Day 136 – Friday

In the morning I prepped for a call with a potential client. The call went very well and we agreed to work together. He won’t have a chance to get the details to me before September and that is when we will likely start. I’ll be setting up two different websites for them and handling … Read more

Day 135 – Not Lasagna

I slept pretty poorly last night, woke up at 2 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Slept a little more after 5am and got up to take a walk around 6:30am. The walk felt good though I know I’ll be pretty tired today. I went through a marketing exercise to identify my current ideal non-profit … Read more

Day 134 – Wednesday

Most of my day was pretty focused on working. I’m wrapping up one website project and getting it ready for launch. Clients made a punch list of the last stuff to do after I said it looks about ready and that is fine. I had a good call with one of them (multiple people on … Read more

Day 133 – Marketing Makeover

My daily walks keep getting easier and I’m happy with the progress. And while we are eating well, we aren’t losing any weight at the moment. My girlfriend Chris suggests we probably aren’t eating enough so we will work on that more tomorrow. I spent the day working, had a good/intense client call, and got … Read more
