Ryan and Debi

  • Wow!

    I had no idea… 🙁

  • back on TV

    Toren, Debi, and I were on TV here in Tampa last night.  A reporter stopped by to get a comment on how things have changed in my neighborhood since they shut down the pain clinic behind our house.  Here’s the clip:

  • World Cup

    A two word summary of the last three weeks for Toren and I: World Cup!

  • Toren’s first parade – St. Pete Pride!

    One of the organizations with which I’m affiliated, Equality Florida, had an entry in the St. Petersburg Gay Pride Parade on Saturday.  They were looking for volunteers to march in the parade.  Since Toren had never been to a parade, I thought it might be fun to have the whole family march for equal rights.…

  • injuries and scarface

    Now that Toren is walking everywhere (when he does; he has wanted to be held a lot lately, probably because he’s been sick), he is more subject to injuries from falls.  After our most recent photoshoot (pictures coming soon), he grabbed the tripod, then tripped in the grass.  He sliced his cheek on the tripod…

  • another bike ride

    Here’s another bike ride Toren and I went on: We didn’t go quite as far this time: Total Distance: 10.36 km (6.4 mi) Total Time: 51:34 Moving Time: 49:34 Average Speed: 12.17 km/h (7.6 mi/h) Average Moving Speed: 12.54 km/h (7.8 mi/h) Max Speed: 17.47 km/h (10.9 mi/h) Min Elevation: -26 m (-86 ft) Max…

  • bike ride

    I took Toren for a bike ride yesterday and turned on my phone app to track it. Here’s the convoluted 7+ mile route: Here are the stats: Total Distance: 11.90 km (7.4 mi) Total Time: 55:48 Moving Time: 51:52 Average Speed: 12.81 km/h (8.0 mi/h) Average Moving Speed: 13.77 km/h (8.6 mi/h) Max Speed: 24.37…

  • Ryan on the radio

    Thanks to my appearances on the local media recently about the pill mills, I was invited to be a guest on a local radio show: Prescription Addiction Radio.  I was on for about 20 minutes last Sunday.  I just checked the website to see if the show is available for people to listen to, but…

  • I’ve been shot!

    I was standing in line at the grocery store Friday night picking up some stuff for Toren’s birthday party.  The woman checking out in front of me was chatting with the employee scanning her purchases – I think they were discussing recipes.  I wasn’t really paying very close attention.  I put all of my groceries…

  • news interviews

    Here are the other two interviews I did that landed me on local TV. The first is from the day of the raid – May 20th.  I happened to have students coming over for dinner that night (from a small May class I taught).  A reporter from Fox 13 stopped by before my students did…
