We headed over to Champps for happy hour at about 5 PM. Todd, John, Leanna, me, Carmen, Kristy, Todd, etc. We sat at the bar for a while where I had a 22-ounce Bud Lite and a shot of Patron. Eventually (once everyone else arrived) we got a table. I ordered the New York strip…
Up at 4:30 and into the gym just before 6 AM. Even though they moved some ellipticals back to the front of the gym, I still couldn’t find my rhythm today. I don’t know why. I did a total of about 15 minutes on the elliptical, and then switched to the treadmill, where I did…
Another long day. When I got home, I had the latest issue of mental_floss in the mail. I also received the April/May 2007 issue of ASIMOV’S which also happens to be the 30th anniversary issue! There is a great retrospective editorial with snippets of editorials from all the Asimov’s editors, including Isaac Asimov’s first editorial…

I got my booking number for the cruise this summer and with that number, I discovered that I could do several things on the website. So I put in all of my immigration information (passport number, etc.), my emergency contact info, and registered a credit card. This does several things. It automatically enrolls me in…
Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by 5:50 AM. When I got to the gym, I noticed they had installed 9 new treadmills where the elliptical machines used to be and pushed the ellipticals back a row. The ellipticals used to be right by the windows and had a great view. This was…
Way back when, vickyandnorm asked me if I would make some remarks at their upcoming wedding. I hadn’t thought much about it until I was at the gym this morning, when, halfway through a difficult chest press, I finally got my “theme”. That was all I needed and most of what I want to say…
