I worked the morning, and then headed out of town for Charleston at close to noon. I took the I-40E to I-95S to I-26E route, and made decent time, as one will when averaging the speeds I averaged. I’m visiting two friends of mine, who are here from London—Michael and his partner, Nick. I know … Read more
I woke up early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep, even though I’d had no where near eight hours sleep. So, I just went with it and had an early start to my day. After working a little while from home, I showered, stopped by the post office, added my 2-cent stamp to … Read more
Today’s workout was cardio-only and I wore a sweatband on my head, the likes of which I haven’t seen since the 1970s. Ask me if I care. It was totally effective. We did only 45-minute routines today, so that we’d have time to make a stop at Bruegger’s on the way home, and before Kevin’s … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 7:00 this morning, where it was an all-cardio day for me, followed by Planet Fitness’ Second-Tuesday-of-the-Month Free Bagels Day. I enjoyed a pumpernickel that looked more like a marbled-rye, with butter on one half and honey walnut cream cheese on the other half. Delicious! Today’s workout statistics: … Read more
I dreamed a lot about Twitter and twittering (or tweeting) last night. Before I went to bed, I was trying to get the widget working in the sidebar of my blog again, but I don’t think it can be done, which sucks, with this new style I’ve chosen. Evidently, that being “unresolved,” worked its way … Read more
I see Amy is at it yet again: Amy Winehouse arrested on suspicion of drug possession. Why can’t these incredibly gifted people get their shit together? It can’t help to surround yourself with the likes of this: Amy Winehouse’s jailed husband has been trading lascivious photos of the singer for tobacco, says a British website, ThePeople.co.uk. … Read more
It seems rather unlikely that two things would happen on the same day, that you thought would never happen in your entire life, and you’d forget to put them in your daily blog, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday. 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
