Adventure – What Is It?

What is an adventure? Merriam-Webster defines it as “an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks” I disagree. An adventure doesn’t have to be synonymous to just something dangerous. Sure, a climb to the top of Mt Everest is an adventure. Yes, a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail is an adventure. But even a simple thing could be an adventure. A road trip is an adventure. A travel to an unfamiliar place is an adventure. Heck, even a walk in the park is an adventure. For me, an adventure is “something you do in which the outcome is unknown, yet … Continue reading Adventure – What Is It?

Powerball, MegaMillions

Jan 3, 2018. Both the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots have reached over $400 millions. Am I the only idiot who thinks that winning either of these is the worst thing that could ever happen to you? This is just too much money for average Joe’s like us. And too much is a sign of greed. And this is too much to the max.  It’s just so wrong in so many ways.  But then again, I’m just an idiot who thinks differently.  Good luck! Oh, what has the image got to do with this post, you may ask.  “Oishi and … Continue reading Powerball, MegaMillions

Sprained Ankle – Again!?!?

Feeling bummed at this point. I sprained the same ankle yesterday, Aug 6, on the same trail. It was 2 weeks ago when the first one happened. It was recovering well, well, until yesterday. And this one looks and feels worse. The swelling is not getting down. It’s harder to walk. A slight twist causes discomfort. Also when the heel makes contact to the ground. In two months, I will have my first 100 miler. Is this now in jeopardy? Still trying to find a positive twist with this situation. With this, perhaps I’ll find out I have Wolverine’s healing … Continue reading Sprained Ankle – Again!?!?

Jury Duty – An Unexpected Experience

Have you ever been summoned to serve as a juror? Have you ever been selected to serve as a juror? What was your reaction when you received the summons? How was your experience when you were selected and served as a juror? I received a summons to serve as a juror, and on July 31, 2017, I was selected to serve as one. When I received the summons, I said, “Oh Crap”. It was not something I welcomed. And I believe I am not the only one with this kind of initial reaction. Before I go into my experience, let me … Continue reading Jury Duty – An Unexpected Experience
