Flame of Hope

Well, my blog disappeared for close to 4 days – yes it just vanished.  My good friend Will go to the bottom of the problem and had it fixed.   For a new blogger it was a big dissapointment and made me wonder if blogging was going to be worthwhile – what if  I put a lot of content into the blog and it just vanished?  As it turns out, it is some technical difficulty between my existing hosting site and my other previous site that has my domain names.

Anyone have any comments on the current blog theme?  It is too severe, too hard to read?  Do you like it?  Does it fit flame of hope?  Well more on why I am flame of hope and why the blog – that is coming next.

Well the first workout was a total success. My granddaughter and I made it to Redhook and met my wife for lunch. It is a beautiful day and we had a nice ride out. I decided not to push my luck and extend my first workout, so we drove back – will wait to see how I feel tomorrow.

After a long delay, today I am kicking off my triathlon training with a bike ride from Redmond to the Brewery for lunch – this is special because I will be accompanied by my 9 year old grand daughter. We will be both entering the Federal Way Escape this July.

Hi world, I am still not sure which theme works best for readers. I seem to be drawn to the darker backgrounds, especially those which have flame, fire or sunrises – these are all in line with my theme “flame of hope’. I am hoping you will comment on which you like as I change the theme over the next month or so.
