I met Kevin (av8rdude) to work out at 10:00 this morning, with the intention of stopping by Wendy’s afterwards to try this: This is the “regular” one. The reason I wanted to try it is that they have a special version right now, where the biscuit is cinnamon and raisin and the sausage is maple-flavored. … Read more
Kevin (av8rdude) and I decided to work out at 9:00 this morning, and 10:00 tomorrow morning, based on his conference calls schedule for each day. I am not a morning person, so I guess it’s no surprise that the negative-speak started on the ride to the gym today: I’m tired. Still half asleep. Maybe I’ll … Read more
I got up at 9:00 this morning, and did the usual drill for breakfast. Nice milestone on the scale today; I’ve lost close enough to 10 pounds to celebrate it. I’ve exercised for 29 out of the last 30 days—with 5 of those days at 30 minutes, most of the rest at 60, and just … Read more
After 10 hours of sleep, I got up at 6:00. Sweet! Breakfast consisted of a hard-boiled egg, two turkey sausage patties, and coffee. I do miss not having some kind of bread (namely toast, an English muffin, or a bagel) for breakfast, but surprisingly, not as much as I thought I would, since I’d pretty … Read more
I worked from home today. For lunch, I decided to get daring with my one leftover grilled fish fillet from yesterday’s lunch and made a fish taco with it. It was surprisingly better than I’d anticipated it would be. Yay! Ric Weiland, left, and Bill Gates at the Microsoft table during the 1976 National Computer … Read more
My Catholic friends will appreciate this Sunday tidbit, brought to you courtesy of The Week magazine: Catholic authorities in Croatia have opened a coffee shop that lets customers pay for drinks with prayers. The Jedro cafe in Zagreb charges four Our Fathers for a cappuccino and a whopping five Hail Marys for a Coca-Cola, the … Read more
So, just today, I realized that this year is a Leap Year. How? Through my checking account draft reminder for my Mastercard—it said that the draft is going to take place on February 29th. I didn’t make too much progress on those newsletters I’m judging, but they’re from: Utah State University (Student Chapter, Logan, UT) … Read more
I spent a few hours today starting on a commitment that I have to judge entries in the 2007-2008 Newsletter Competition of the Society for Technical Communication. I met Kevin (av8rdude) at Planet Fitness at 1:30 for a workout. I stepped the level up from 3 to 4 today, about which I have mixed emotions. … Read more
I was a bad sleeping partner last night. In the middle of the night, Robert nudged me and said, “Do you have any cough suppressant?” When I answered no, he moved into the bed in the guest bedroom for the rest of the night. I don’t blame him at all. He had to be up … Read more
I fell asleep with the heating pad on last night, which means it warmed my back all night long. To my astonishment, my back felt pretty much back to normal this morning. Yay! I met Kevin (av8rdude) at Fred Anderson Toyota this morning, where he dropped off his car for service at 7:30. We had planned to … Read more
