I began writing the eulogy today. On Twitter yesterday, @Justis said, “May the best spirit of love be your companion while you write the eulogy for your dear friend. It will be beautiful.” And that spirit must be with me, as it’s coming along easily and beautifully. I worked out from about 3:15 until 4:30 today. … Read more
I tried to sleep in this morning, but didn’t make it past 8:00, which is actually pretty early for me when I’m not working. After breakfast, I devised yesterday’s blog entry and posted it. I’m going to use parts of a two-hour-or-so discussion I had with Jeanie, back in January, in devising her eulogy. To … Read more
I was up at 7:00, had the complimentary breakfast in the hotel lobby, and got on the road by 8:00. Needless to say, I drove the speed limit the whole way back. At about 10:00, I guess, I turned on my cell phone and received this message from 8:14 this morning. John Martin this is … Read more
For the record, I was not stimulated on Friday as promised by these people, according to their schedule toward the end of the page in that link. I’m just saying… We were up at 9:00 this morning, and in honor of Robert’s recent colonoscopy, I bought some All Brand Yogurt Bites, which we had for … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 9:45, and I only did lower body resistance work today. I’ll get my cardio in tonight at dancing. This is the second—and I hope, last—day of morning workouts, which really is tough for me. I am so not a morning person. Today’s workout statistics: Exercise Type Minute Duration … 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
This takes a while to load (open it in another window and let it load in the background), but once it does, it’s very cool time-lapsed photography, which includes fireworks! Today’s entry is going to have a few “Oh, I forgot to mention or capture” type tidbits. I forgot to mention that at the bar last … Read more
Today is my 14-year anniversary of living my life as whom I really am. As I’ve said to myself so many times since then, “Thank &deity I didn’t live my entire life here as somebody I wasn’t.” Kevin (av8rdude) and I worked out this morning. It was an all-cardio day for me, and I listened … Read more
I was up and at ’em at 7:30 this morning, after a full eight hours sleep. Yay! I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 9:30. Today was an all-cardio day for me, and I only did 45 minutes instead of 60 to allow some time for a bagel on the way home. Kevin had … Read more
I was up at 8:30 this morning and had a sweet, good-morning instant message conversation with Robert. During a breakfast of a yolk-less hard-boiled egg, one turkey sausage patty, some deliciously ripe cantaloupe, and coffee, I read the news online, including my daily perusal of the obituaries. “You might be an emotional sap if…” you, too, … Read more
