Wanna Be Fat? There’s an App for that.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

This past weekend I was at a trainer conference in Newport Beach. This is where top trainers from across the globe (and me) gather to talk about all things fitness. This was limited to an elite 40 trainers (and again, me) who are a pretty brainy bunch, but things can get a little juvenile at times.

Yes indeed, my kind of group.

At one point early on in the weekend there was a crowd gathering around one of my trainer buddies, Steve, and laughing hysterically. Steve is usually a pretty funny guy anyway, but I had to see what was going on.

Gabriel’s Heart

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Tomorrow, December 4th, 2009 my son Gabriel Thomas Carter, age 7, goes in for an heart operation. But before I go into whats and whys, let me tell you about Gabe.

Gabe, in the Beginning…

October 8th, 2002 was the greatest day of my life. It was the day I officially met my son Gabe for the first time outside of an ultrasound. (I am also fortunate to have gotten a repeat of that day 3 years later when I met my second son, Nate, but I’ll save that for another story.)

Happy Mother’s Day

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Happy Mother’s Day.

To the mothers of sons and to the mothers of daughters. To the mothers of canines, felines, equines and all kinds – this day is for you as well. And let us not forget the mothers to be for your mothering has already begun.

A special thank you for all that you do – and yes we notice even if we don’t say. And though we can never say it enough – from your children everywhere to you, mom – we love you.

I of course have two special mothers to thank. The first is my mother, Linda.

Minivan Madness

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Minivan Madness and why I will never visit Fresno again.

It is no secret to my family and friends that I do not like to travel. Especially by car. But we all have families, and with families comes obligations. But with me being me I generally do whatever I can to get out having to drive anywhere. It is not that I do not like being there, I just hate getting there.

Both my wife and I have family in and around the Fresno Ca. area and this last weekend was my wife Denyse’s sister Amy’s, daughter Emerson’s 2nd birthday party. Ok, maybe I should have just said my niece’s birthday – whatever.

Priority Report

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Pin It

I have spent the past week in beautiful El Dorado Hills, Ca, (just north of Sacramento) sponging off my younger brother Joe.

Joe and his wife Natascha have 2 kids, Anthony and Gavin, that are close enough in age to our 2 kids Gabe & Nate that they get along great even though they do not get to see each other often enough.

Joe & Tash love to cook and entertain, and I love to eat and be entertained so this has really worked out pretty well for me.

I Blame My Kids

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

For most things that don’t work out the way we want in life it is easy to blame someone else. For many things I can simply blame my parents. I mean have you seen my nose? I mean come on.

But there is one particular thing that for which I can place the blame squarely on the shoulders of my 2 sons: my inability to sleep in.

I remember fondly the days of sleeping past 9 or even 10 in the morning. There we occasions I even slept past noon – ah the good ol days.
