    09 Dec 2006 » 2 min read

    The new routine I have during the week went pretty well for the most part. I had to make some adjustments, but I think I did pretty good overall. Since my schedule is different on Saturdays, I’ve discovered I have to be a little more flexible and be able to adjust and improvise when necessary.…

  • Workout #4: Cardio

    09 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    This was the first time I ever made it in the gym on a Friday after work. I was surprised to see that the gym is pretty empty on Friday evenings, compared to other evenings during the week. I did a cardio workout on the elliptical for 30 minutes. I wore the knee brace and…

  • Cards and letters

    08 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    Yesterday was a good mail day, with two gems left in the pan after sifting out all of the junk. First, I had a holiday card from Twila, with a picture of her almost 3 year old daughter. Next, I had 2 letters and a card from Trevor and thepopeswife. Trevor wrote one of the…

    For the first time since putting my new schedule into effect, I got to bed on time last night. I was going to stay up to watch the launch of Discovery, but it was postponed. So I got into bed at 9:30 PM and I was out like a light. I woke up at about…

    07 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    I went to check my interoffice mail and waiting for me in my box was a “Certificate of Excellence” from my grandboss, the CIO of the company, regarding a software project I worked on and completed a few months back. It was a pleasant surprise, and it also marked the first time I’ve gotten this…

  • Harbor and Shuttle

    07 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    Today is, of course, the 65th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It seems to me that a lot of people of my generation don’t realize this, but the date was burned into me by my Grandpa, and from my reading of American history. On a brighter note, we are just about 13 hours…

  • Workout #3: Lower body

    07 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I was up at 4:30 after getting to bed close to 10 PM last night. I still haven’t gotten the schedule worked out quite right, but I’m plugging away. This morning I’d planned a lower body workout and after my 5 minute warm-up, I got started.
