The Highland Roots
This weekend, I took my children to The Highland Games, so I could expose them to the community of Scots from whence they came. Indilea loves the idea of cousins. She has always wanted cousins. This weekend, I gave her more cousins than she could count. My children and I all share a middle name: MacTavish. This was my bachelor name, before I married, and I now have it as my middle name (Caelan MacTavish Huntress). My daughter (Indilea Day [...]
New Resume
As I'm sure you know, the economy stinks.

This unfortunate side effect of staying in shape has created energetic blocks between myself and what I want to manifest. By staying tense, pulling in my gut whenever I’m in public, keeping the habit of tension when I’m in private, I have kept myself from fully relaxing into the present [...]
One Beer Belly, Please.
I have made the decision to acquire a beer gut. This decision was not come by lightly. I am supposed to be doing P90X this season, but with starting a new business, selling all my worldly possessions, and preparing for a move across the continent, devoting an hour or two every day to my fitness hasn’t been working out. Plus, there’s my ankle. Twelve weeks, and it’s still not completely healed. I can do most things, but I can’t hit [...]
