• Saturday afternoon

    24 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    We did a lot of walking Saturday afternoon. We started by walking down to 59th and 5th in order to have a late lunch at Mickey Mantle’s. After that, we had an errand to run. Jen had to drop off some keys at her bosses apartment, so we made our way toward West End. On…

  • Workout #17 (Arms & shoulders)

    23 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Jen and Jason were kind enough to let me use their gym, New York Sports Club, this morning and we all went into work out about an hour after eating breakfast. The amenities of their gym (lockers, towels, etc.) are nicer than my gym but I didn’t like the layout of the workout rooms: many…

  • Happy Birthday, Eric!

    23 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    Today is strausmouse‘s birthday. I’m not sure I’m allowed to say how old he is, because he is really quite ancient. This is hard for many people to believe because he acts much younger–say mid-40s, give or take a few years. But he doesn’t fool me for a second. In any event: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIC!…

  • Oh what a night

    23 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    It must have been some night last night because as of 9:15 this morning, Jen and Jason are still sleeping. I have been up since about 7:30, doing a little reading and relaxing. I’m now dressed and ready to get some breakfast so that we can go to the gym a little later. At this…

  • Travel trials

    Someone told me that it was going to be a busy travel day yesterday, and since I was flying up to New York, I’d better give myself plenty of time to get to the airport. So I did. My flight was at 2:40 PM and I left for Dulles at 11 AM, figuring that fighting…

  • Drunk off our asses

    23 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    I think the subject is self-descriptive. Jen, Jason and I are just back from Mustang, where Jason and I had a few shots of Patron Silver, as well as several Margaritas. Jen had her fair share as well. I think we are all feeling good. Jen and Jason are currently in the “den” dancing to…

  • “Bird”-watching

    22 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    After my workout this morning, I was in the shower stall all the way in the corner of the shower room in the gym. I happened to look up and noticed that in the very corner of the ceiling where the two walls meet, a small piece of drop-ceiling was missing, or had been slid…

  • Workout #16 (Cardio)

    22 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 after actually getting to bed before 9 PM last night. Still, I must have been in a deep sleep because my alarm actually went off. I was into the gym and started on my cardio routine by 5:50.

  • The new MySQL-based reading lists

    22 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Enough of the infrastructure is in place where so that my new MySQL/PHP-based reading lists are available. They are far from finished, and functionality is minimal at the moment. No stats yet. Just a basic stylesheet, some queries and presentation of some of the data. All of my reading back through 1996 is available, and…
