My last post was December 2015.  Trump – the School Yard Bully. I’ve been uninspired as a blogger since then….

I’m exhausted by the political discourse.  I’m caught up in it, following every move, every day…..reading the NYT or Cable News 4 or 5 times a day – re-reading articles sometimes in disbelief.  Anyway, I’m caught up in it…..but I’m also caught up in my own journey with the unbelievable support of Rhona and others.  I’m caught up in participating and hopefully completing my first full Ironman – next Sunday!!!!  I anticipate 14 to 15 hours of action.  3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, 42 km run. I’ve worked hard, I’m hopefully ready……  But, anyway, here’s a blog post that I wrote about my journey to get to this  point…..
