Hello From CDI

Hello From CDI

Half Air faith article

Recently on "Half Air On Air," Deb and I talked about a music video parody we wanted to make. We had hoped to get that out before the end of 2021, but that didn't happen. We didn't just let it slide, however. No. Unlike the hundreds of things we have on our things-to-do lists that never get done, this was not one of them. We pulled through! We persevered! (I basically woke up one day and said "I think I'm ready to work on that video.") Now, after many long-awaited months, Deb and I are ready to present "Hello From CDI."

Deborah is a Clinical Documentation Specialist and the field she works in is called Clinical… Read more...

Corporate 5K Results

Corporate 5K Results

Half Air life article

The Corporate 5K was held a little over a week ago and, as promised, I am writing to give you a wrap-up on my participation and results.

This year's race boasted the largest participation in the history of this particular 5K, with over 18,000 runners and walkers, one of those participants, of course, being myself. I did register as a runner but was honest and lined up with "over 25 minute finish time" group. In my training, I never worked up to the point where I could run (or jog) the entire route, not even close. Still, I think my split may have been 40% jogging, 60% walking. (I wouldn't be surprised if it… Read more...

You Would Catch A Grenade? Really?

You Would Catch A Grenade? Really?

Half Air life article

Several weeks ago, Deborah and I were watching a singing competition show and one of the contestants was given Bruno Mars' Grenade to perform. While speaking about his motivation for the song, the contestant admitted in an interview that he had never been in a relationship where he loved the person so much he would give his life for them. (John 15:13) At this, I paused the show and asked my wife a question.

"What do you think is easier (or should I say more realistic), to tell someone you would give your life for them, but chicken out and save yourself if the situation actually did arise; or admit that you… Read more...

Corporate 5K Update

Corporate 5K Update

Half Air life article

A while ago I wrote about signing up for the Corporate 5K Run at work. As I write this that run is about a week away and I thought I would take a moment to give you a quick update.

First, let me catch you up on my diet and weight loss. I have been counting calories as planned and done a fairly decent job of keeping within my goal range, which is to lose 1 pound a week. Of course, some days I go over that limit (especially if I eat a big meal out), but even then I am often able to keep within a range that should maintain my current weight. So far it's been working and I am down nearly twenty pounds! This is more than five pounds… Read more...
