From there, … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 1:00, where it was an all-cardio day for me. I forgot to start with some crunches, so they were out of the question—as all three sections of the ab bench would be absolutely drenched with sweat if I did them after my hour of cardio. Not to … Read more
I volunteered for ENC today, for two hours, in their new office on Hargett Street. I enjoyed this work much more than making phone calls, which is what I did the last couple of times I volunteered for them. Today, I entered names, telephone numbers, addresses, and e-mail addresses into their database for them. Shawn, … Read more

Without further ado, here they are: Andy Griffith—yes, Andy Taylor, Sheriff of Mayberry, that very one—called me yesterday, … Read more
In today’s obituaries: Don A. Biggerstaff. Editorial comment: Survived by his wife, Putona Strapon. I’m just saying… Since when are grammar rules decided by a popularity vote? You know this has me seeing (a) red (pen)! The state of Missouri has issued millions of new license plates containing a grammar error, but officials say they … Read more
We were up at a little after 8:00 this morning. I had coffee, 2 yolkless hard-boiled eggs, and a turkey sausage patty along with my coffee. I worked out from about 11:15-12:15 today, 60 minutes of cardio, while listening to my Retro Remix CD on my iPod. Oh yeah, I started off with 5 sets … Read more
