Fitness Results 2015 – Year in Review I have been tracking my fitness progress since 2011 using a variety of apps & programs, most recently Map My Fitness, Strava and FitBit Surge. Each element has its benefits and drawbacks, however I will be continuing to use all three in 2016.   First a quick bit of background.

SICSA Volunteering – Tribute to Reese

Posted by | Jan 8, 2016 | , |

This October my dog Reese passed away, aged almost 15 years. It was a very difficult time for me since she was around through so much of my life and had travelled with me through so many life changes. One of her favorite things was taking nightly walks and after she went through a life threatening illness when she was 10 I promised to walk her every day if possible. I held true to my promise to the end of her life with her last walk happening just three days before she was put to sleep. Once I had...

eTail East 2015 This past week I headed off to Boston for the first time ever to attend my favorite eCommerce related convention – eTail East!

2015 New Year’s & Resolutions

2015 New Year’s & Resolutions

Posted by | Jan 1, 2015 | |

Welcome to 2015! It is traditional to create resolutions for the New Year and as all of us know most of the time the good intentions fail and the resolutions are relegated to the trash. Yearly Self Analysis: Instead of making a few resolutions I have been doing a detailed self evaluation each year since I’ve been in my early 20’s. I have skipped the full analysis a few years because I tend to be a bit brutal on myself and if the year was particularly bad I don’t want to dwell on too many negatives from the past. However,...
