"A body is a terrible thing to waste" and other things I learned at the circus
by Sara Sedlacek · May 07, 2008
As I’ve said before, my goal this year is to get back into shape and ride an entire day of RAGBRAI in July. So far, since January, I’ve been to the gym four times and ran the 5K Run for the Schools. I just recently filled my bike tires and have run errands two days on bike. As if I wasn’t already ashamed of my inability to discipline myself with a regular workout regimen, I was put to more shame last month when Matt and I went to Moline to see Cirque du Soleil. 2008 Legislature receives a poor grade

For the second year in a row, an amazing effort from the community has helped us put together our award-winning bilingual Cinco de Mayo section. We feel this section is a necessary and important addition to our paper and it could not be done without the support of the community.
We would especially like to thank Ken Donnelly. End of the session brings wins and losses for District 79

The Legislature adjourned on Saturday morning at 2:30 a.m. I arrived at my home at 5 a.m. dead tired and wondering about a process that would pass one of its most important bills in the middle of the night with all legislators significantly fatigued. Thank your school board:

It's officially warm enough to pick up after yourself

It’s here! It’s here! It’s here!
That’s what was happening inside my head all day Monday when I stepped outside in a t-shirt without wearing a coat. Spring has finally arrived! |
