Yesterday, as I talked to my neurologist, I was surprised to get the ok to try the energy gels for long runs and/or races, as I told him I’m still running and have started to run longer races. I knew of these energy gels but never looked into them because I just assumed he wouldn’t … Continue reading A runner’s diet

Even though we are still dealing with his recent parting, the best we can do is remember the wonderful father and grandfather he was and never forget all the great times we had with him.
I finished Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, the first class towards the IBM Generative AI Engineering Professional Certificate. It’s a lot of fun learning about something that I use everyday and so many things I didn’t think were AI. It is a lot of information and a little difficult to keep track of, but the great … Continue reading Continuing my education and celebrating No Kings Day
My oldest memory is from my aunt’s wedding when I was three years old. I was the flower girl at the wedding.
