A big Happy Father’s Day wish goes out to Dad today. I hope you had a great day! And while I’m thinking about it, Father’s Day wishes go out to Doug, strausmouse, Andy, to say nothing of father-to-be vickyandnorm. I hope you all had great days today.
We had dinner with AJ and Denisse last night at Bertucci’s and it was a lot of fun seeing them and hanging out with them for a while. Also, our “Save the Date” post cards arrived, and they look great! They were made by he11o_sunshine over at Buttercream Cards and we love them! This had…
Since getting back into the groove of 6x/week workouts, I hadn’t yet done a lower body workout until today. At lunch I headed to the gym and did an almost-full lower body workout, my first in a very long time. Lower body has always been my strongest and I did pretty good coming back to…
Welcome to another Friday the Thirteenth. Hope you have a lucky day. Anyone who knows me knows that I lack the superstitious gene, so Friday the Thirteenth is just another day to me, one which perhaps allows me to indulge a bit more in my penchant for mocking pitying those who retain the superstitious gene.…
When I got home from work this even, I had science fiction in the mail. It seems just about every print science fiction magazine I subscribe to was delivered today: The Bulletin, Spring 2008 (for my non-SF friends, this is the magazine of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) ANALOG, September 2008 ASIMOV’S,…

Another day of sleeping in until 6:30 AM and it was great. I was supposed to have a customer service training session this afternoon, but it was canceled (bad customer service!) Kelly and I went out for Indian food tonight and once again I had a lamb dish. Where has lamb been all my life!…
I did a little more than 2/3rds of a normal strength workout for chest and back today. I was a little late to the gym because of a meeting. I normally do flat bench presses first because that is where I do the most weight. But I saved them for last today (all of the…
Got in a full 40 minute workout on the elliptical at lunch today. I pushed a little harder and did 588 calories and 3.15 miles. I sweat like crazy, but I didn’t feel tired throughout the entire workout. What’s more, my heart rate is definitely coming down. I maintained a pace of about 81 or…
I’m listening to all of Def Leppard’s albums up through Hysteria this morning. I haven’t done that in a while.
