2011 is always going to be noteworthy as the year I got up off the proverbial couch, and became athletic. It's a different story about how I got to be on Team Z, but once I'd drunk the kool-aid, it didn't take much for my coach and a friend to talk me into doing a half ironman-distance (Rev3 in Anderson, SC) by the end of the year. The experience of taking on the challenge, training for it, and

I have been reading this blog for a long time. A man who consciously decided to give up his career in corporate law to become the homemaker so that his wife could pursue her dream job. What amazes me every time I read a post is how he has chosen to actively engage in living and experiencing with his children. He does not have a stroller, preferring to carry the kids or have them walk. He builds

Unlike my dad, who yells at the TV, I have a public forum to vent about my frustrations at news reporters. I heard a story on NPR about the new Facebook facial recognition software implementation. The reporters were talking about the infringement on privacy. From what I can gather, those with privacy concerns are worried about Facebook having a database that associates names with faces. And of

"I do wish you'd go away" Robin shouted at Elizabeth. The was a sudden flash of rainbow coloured light. Robin stared in amazement. Elizabeth had disappeared. Robin ran to her mother, "Mother! she exclaimed. It's Elizabeth, she disappeared!" Mother began to laugh, "She's probably hidden under the bed". "No mother, I saw it with my own two eyes" said Robin. Robin's mother ran from the room. But

Pretty proud of myself, so figure I'll put a post up. Did the bike leg of the sprint relay at Kinetic today - 18 miles. Austin did the swim, and Jordan the run. I was expecting to take 1:30mins, did it in 1:05. The official results may have me longer as the mat was a bit away from the mount/dismount. The day before, I drove the course with my friend Patty to see where the downhills were, and

My cat was diagnosed with lymphoma last year, and since I had just received a bonus, decided that his life was worth the money. He went through chemo, and is officially in remission. I only tell that heavy part of the story to describe the cause of his strange eating habits. He lost a lot of weight, because he became a fussy eater, and no longer wanted to eat cat food.

I got sick of making banal status updates on Facebook over the summer. At the same time, I received a gift in the mail of the book "This is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life." This is a transcript of the commencement speech given to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College by David Foster Wallace. I thought it was entertaining, it

Today we went for a bike ride on the W&OD Trail. This is one of those rails-to-trails routes and goes across Fairfax county. We went with friends who have a young son and another on the way. The little man sat inside one of those bike trailers and was zoned out most of the time - man, we all wished we could go in there. We started in Vienna. Such a cute town! There was a farmer's market going on

So, I did my first road race today (well, there was that 5k for big brothers/big sisters, but I just don't think that's the same kinda thing cause it wasn't a goal, I didn't train, and I sucked). Anyway... It was the Baltimore 10-mile run. Remember the challenge? Some random thoughts about running a race: - don't SMOKE next to a running route. Step back, away from the runners. - My quads are

I had an interesting thought today, one of those that makes you go "huh". I moved to the US in 1986 which was in the middle of the world awareness about apartheid. I had some experiences those early years, as a young adult, that made me just stop telling people where I was from. I would sometimes try to hide my accent on the phone, and (from some not so positive experiences) if I was with a

Slow down on route caused by large fluffy obstacle. Patches of high temperatures caused by sun coming in the window. Avoid stepping on cat toys. Overall, a soft peaceful journey is expected.

Just got back from two weeks in Australia with my family there. Had a couple nights at my Dad's farm outside of Sydney – very peaceful, very Folb.  For the second week, we went up the coast to Byron Bay – the most easterly point on mainland Australia. It’s a beautiful beach town with interesting shops, magnificent views, and enough to keep the five of us occupied for the week. I went diving at

We were off on holiday. “I’m going to the clothes shop”! said my mother. “I’m going to buy some shoes”, my sister said. We all went to the hotel next day; we all went for a walk. We walked three miles and came to a stop. “Help” my mother said, she

Why does Tiger Woods need to apologize to anyone other than his wife? He is not a public official, his notoriety does not come from service he does for the public. He has a skill, in a sport. Is the implication that he won't win if we don't forgive him? Is the implication that you won't watch golf or support golf if he isn't sorry? I just don't get it. Nor do I understand why it is news.

I have a lot of respect for my brother, the oldest of the three, the only full-brother, the one who is 18 months younger than me. It has always seemed that he had all the luck, all the talent, all the coordination, all the creativity. He got through school without any studying, he skied downhill the first time he put on a pair. He taught me how to ride a bike, he taught me how to drive. He can

We read on the weather before leaving South Africa that huge snowstorms were predicted for the Washington DC area for the day of our return.

One evening, we went to my Dad's sister for dinner, and she had invited all of the family who were available. We went a little early and had a couple hours to talk with her alone.

Before leaving South Africa, we had a couple days in Johannesburg. I wanted to take Eric to see where I had grown up, and have a little more time with my family. We had planned to stay in a bed & breakfast in Melville. This is a pretty hip area with a lot of restaurants and art galleries. We arrived late in the afternoon, and the security guard showed us to our room and gave us a key. There was

I owe you one more post to finish up our trip to South Africa, in the meantime, it snowed again last night. Here are some images that I enjoyed this morning.The footsteps of the dogs walking a path on the deck looking for a place to pee.The snow on top of the ornaments still hanging from the neighbor's tree.The view from my office window as the sun comes up.

So, I'm a planner... you probably know that...but I did not do a good job planning for the walking in the bushveld.In case you are on your way, here are some things I had and was grateful for, and some things I didn't have and wished I had thought to take on my trip.Walking Safari Packing ListHAD:● Sunblock● Lip protection● SmartWool socks● Tank tops● Trail-runner sneakers- these were fine, and I

I got a text message from my cousin, the bride, the last night of our stay in Swaziland checking in and asking how we were... we went back and forth a bit and figured that there was a chance we would be in the game reserve at the same time.I drove that day, and... yes... I pushed it a little!!They were on their Honeymoon headed east to Mozambique for a month of exploring!They started their trip

Here are some of the videos we took of our animal experiences.Day 1 of walking, headed back to the camp in drizzle, Rangers were tracking a buffalo... and they came up right on him.He was not happy! and became a aggressive.Right when we arrived at Plains Camp, Bernard made it clear:When the animals start running, head behind a tree!...so we did.Bernard and James worked on scaring off the buffalo,

The last stop on our road trip was the Kruger National Park.We stayed at the Rhino Post Lodge for one night, and at the Plains Camp for three.The Rhino Post (B) is a concession northeast of Skukuza (A). And again, we were the only people staying for the first 3 nights.(Link to Google Maps)It's really difficult to write something concise about this experience because every moment was so amazing;

We planned this trip with a day off in Swaziland.(Link to Google Maps)Diving always wipes you out, and with all the wedding and driving, we hadn't really had time to get over the jetlag. So this day was intended as a rest day before heading to the Kruger National Park.We had another interesting drive through the Kingdom of Swaziland...One of the groups of people on our dive boat were from

Early the morning after the wedding, we piled into the little car and headed east to Sodwana Bay for some diving. (Link to Google Maps)It was an easy drive with lots to look at.Sodwana Bay is a place that I grew up going to for summer vacation - which was Christmas and New Year's - with family friends. This was a VERY remote place in those days. Just some campsites with concrete bathrooms. We had

I'm not a big wedding fan. I find all the schmultzy love love disingenuous. I started thinking that people should get married after living together for 10 years. At that point, you can safely say you are going to love this person "forever" because you've seen them at their lowest low... and they have seen you. I thought - now that's a wedding I want to attend.I got the opportunity this month.The

Before I give specifics on each of our stops, I wanted to run through the itinerary and give mention to some folks.When I started planning this trip, I did some research online. I quickly realized that I didn't have time to figure things out on my own, and so I did just one more search - a travel agent.I found Megan Phillips at African Rainbow Tours and figured if they had an online presence they

Baking cookies each year at the holidays became a tradition for me many years ago. Even though I don't live close enough to partner in crime to do cookies with her, we wanted to continue the tradition by making a cookie swap. Last year was a solo attempt in a small loft kitchen. This year I had help, and baked for two days in the kitchen of my home. Here are the results. Ready to be packed up

Wow! Sitting on my bed in the lodge, with a/c, my own bathroom, and a bag of biltong. I used to come here as a kid. We only had what we brought. There was nothing here. Now its a nature preserve, diving mecca, and full service accommodations. Had two incredible dives today. Saw so many different varieties of fish. Of note on the register of sightings where two sea turtles and lots of moray

I feel really bad for Tiger Woods. We all have bumps on the way, but when you are that famous, they become giant mountains. It's not fair that the media expects famous people to be perfect all the time.

Last night I went to my first funeral.It was the reenactment of the funeral of Col John Carlyle.John Carlyle was a respected trader (of slaves and guns) and helped establish the town of Alexandria, VA. We paid our respects to the family, and learned of the ghosts that still live at the house.Apparently, there are energy orbs that show up in photographs of the front yard.I took a bunch of pictures

So, the movers came and packed all the stuff, the loaded everything onto the truck and drove it away. I cannot believe the efficiency. Two people packed up all my stuff and took it away in about 8 hours.Then a man came and loaded up my car :-(That was hard.It is good for my car not to gain all the miles, but its really hard to watch it being taken away.

Do you know this?I went to college in the Hudson Valley of New York. I loved it. I was very sad to leave and after a few months in my new state of Arizona, desperately wanted to go back.Over the years in Arizona, I was jealous of people who got to leave. I had a minor opportunity to move to Washington DC at one point, but the opportunities weren't enough to motivate Greg to consider leaving

Over a year ago, I went to Thailand. Remember that?One of the things we did there, was snorkel. It was a most amazing experience because there were so many fish. I was frustrated by the fact that the fish could swim down, and I couldn't.

.. I feel like I am in a fuzziness, and what I consider to be my life is actually a dream or imagining. I wish it were easier to be where I want to be. As I get older I realize its more of putting things on a trajectory and seeing what happens rather than actually having control. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Having walked past buildings of monumental architecture. I stand at a constitutional corner and look at a large obelisk going into the sky. On the grounds below people play softball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, while many more run by. What an amazing place to live. I can only imagine.

David Plotz talking about H1N1 on "The Shift Happens Podcast":...talking about public health measures to limit the spread of a disease... "...social networks are weaker, people have fewer social ties which means that they are more willing to break a quarantine." This is so interesting to hear in a media venue because its something that I've been thinking for a long time!

Nearly made a big booboo this week.   Spent Sunday underwater at a max depth of about 30 ft. Well, when you do that for extended periods of time, there are all these calculations and numbers blahblahblah to consider when doing things to your body that involve pressure. One of those is flying! There are Rules about how long you have to wait to fly after diving so that you don't EXPLODE! actually,

*sigh*holy cows!!This was a life-altering experience. I am a very very careful person.I don't really do anything unless I have a good feel for the fact that I can do it.Things that I "wing" are because I have done them before and I know that I can get away with that.There are times in my life where I have realized that I had a "phobia" and I worked through it. The most obvious example that comes

This month has been one long activity after another. Weeks full of work, traveling here and there, and then weekends of Lisa 4.0.Activity 1: SCUBA: We did our classroom, pool work, and tests for the PADI Open Water certification.I would sum this whole training thing up by saying that its a minute of: this is how you breathe underwater and weight yourself down so that you stay down; and the rest

I don't really have strong political opinions often, but there is one thing going on right now that is driving me NUTS, and since this is my venue for pushing my opinionated opinion in a public setting, here goes...So, the US car manufacturers are suffering and looking for help from the government. They are not making sales, therefore, not making profits.And of course, the help is requested so

Over the years that I lived in Arizona I made friends with very good people. If you know me in life, you know just how wonderful those people are. Now I find myself in California, looking for ways to make new friends, and realizing that I have a world of Lisa-discovering to do.I gave this conundrum some thought. I realized that one of the things that makes these friends of mine so interesting is

Over the past couple days strange things have been showing up on the corner of Spring and 7th Street.NYPD? Taxi with a NY plate?The other day I saw this:it made me laugh!Here's another picture...Today, I realized what was going on from a "Street Closure: Filming" door hanger.They are filming CSI: NY on Monday and Tuesday.

Its funny what you learn about yourself if you open yourself up to it.Over the past month, I have learned a lot of things about myself… there has been some purging, some weakness, some introspection, some assistance, and in the end, a lot of realizations.Here is a question I’ve been thinking about:What do I like to do?Well, I have been just about work for the longest time, and when I think about

I used to write letters back and forth with my grandmother when I first moved to America. I also used to share letters with my cousins when they were very young. One day, the letters got replaced by phone calls.   I just realized this weekend, I don't get phone calls anymore!   But my friends do still communicate:   Blackberry IM Facebook Email and now Twitter.   I think I know more about what's

Everyone seems to be talking about Facebook these days. "It's just for kids", "It's addictive", "YOU have a Facebook page?!"... so, ok, here's my two cents.I live in a country different to the one I grew up in. My family and friends (ok, mostly my family) are spread all over the world.This is a time of living where you want to, and being very separate from a physical community.This is the age of

Everytime I travel, there is someone who catches my eye... slowing me down, not coping with all the kid stuff, obviously doesn't travel often... and more often than not, these people show up somewhere else on the trip... boarding my plane, on the rental car bus... something like that. It happens almost every time.Here are the specifics of today's incident:The man in front of me at the xray

I'm sure that most people who move countries consider the country of their birth to always be "home".Since I didn't ever want to actually live there, I don't feel that I can call South Africa "home".When I moved to America, I moved to Los Angeles. This is where I graduated from high school (South Pas High, thank you very much!), this is where I got my first job, learned to drive, experimented

It was my 40th birthday on this past Friday, and I will post some other time about my thoughts on that milestone. But today, I would like to call attention to two very special people who made this the most special of birthdays.The man I am currently dating, let's call him Mr. R, has spent the past month or two organizing with my best friend, Meg. Here's what they did:My day started with a

so, I'm listening to the Inaugeration. Because I want to hear if Chertoff speaks; and if he does, I want to hear what he has to say about FENCE!... for personal reasons, that is.   In the meantime, I thought maybe I would contribute to an understanding of "me" here on this o' blog.   The announcer (didn't hear which one) just said that Cheney is coming out in a wheelchar because he "hurt his back

Well its not life that's bogging me down, its just work.I have spent 0 days in my office over the past 4 weeks. Instead, I've been driving around southern Arizona, staying in Tucson hotels, and flying back and forth to Fort Worth Texas. I am seriously hoping there is some calm over this Thanksgiving weekend. I even said a prayer... it went like this:Please have everyone take the weekend off!

Two people went into a coffee shop for breakfast. It was a cold fall morning in the middle of some tall tall buildings. As they approached the door, a homeless man was speaking to himself with few intelligible words. The couple went in, placed their order, made their purchase, and waited for their food and drinks to be prepared.   Without saying anything, the man of the couple went back to the

so, a lot has been going on over the past couple of months, and its not easy to post here because there are things that are still in flux. I thought I would post an update anyway, so that if you do visit this blog, you would know where I am.   I have been - releasing the habits - recognizing patterns - letting go of the fetters - thinking about all the "one days" I've been making plans for

If you are an existing ATT customer, it seems that they don't really care about encouraging you to join the bandwagon and become an iPhone user.   I have been with ATT for as long as I've had a wireless/cell phone... and that's about 8/9 years.   Because I upgraded (!) my phone in January (my phone died and I got a new one, which I guess in their world qualifies as an upgrade), I am not eligible
