Early start to the long weekend

I worked my butt off today, closing out 11 bug and enhancement issues with the application I have been working on (and that is about ready to roll out to production). I’ve reached a good stopping point and I’ve decided to get an early start on the long weekend. I’m leaving work 48 minutes early! [...]

Casting Call

Maybe it’s me, but when they get around to making the movie of Saddam Hussein’s trial, they should cast Ben Kingsley as one of the trial judges: Actual judge from the trial Actual photo of Ben Kingsley They could be twins! Just something I noticed glancing at the news while on the elliptical this morning

Can’t stop singing

I’ve been singing constantly for the last two days and can’t seem to stop. It started yesterday while driving to the train station. I had the old tune, “Moonlight Bay” in my head and I sang it the entire time I was driving to the station, alternating between the Bing Crosby parts and the Gary [...]

Workout #21 (Cardio)

Up at 4:30 after getting to bed shortly after 9:30 last night. I woke up to my alarm, rather than before it. Nevertheless, I was into the gym at 5:55 for cardio and a light arm/shoulder workout.

And three months later

Yet another humiliating picture of me, as compared to the one from exactly three months ago. I am finally starting to notice some changes! September 28, 2006 December 28, 2006 Last time, people complained that the posing and framing was too similar so I tried to make it a little different (but not much). Arms [...]

My passport is here…almost

I said I’d have my passport no later than Friday, December 29. It arrived today–only, I wasn’t home to sign for it and since was sent Express Mail, I need to be here, or pick it up at the Post Office. Since I won’t be home tomorrow, either, I will likely have to pick it [...]

And now a word from Scrooge

Now that the Christmas holiday is over, I feel relatively safe posting about this complaint that I have about the holiday season. My office building sits atop a high-end mall and it is jam-packed during the holiday season. There is a tremendous, ponderous five-story tall atrium into which I look. The atrium is so vast [...]

Workout #20 (Lower body w/Bernard)

This is my 20th workout in 25 days, which all things considered, is not too bad. I’ve missed 2 workouts (I should be at 22/25) but that couldn’t be avoided. Today I worked out with Bernard and I was stupid enough to mention that after my full chest and back workout on Tuesday, I haven’t [...]

Now that’s damn good fruit!

My thanks go out to everyone who gave me good advice on selecting oranges from the grocery store. I just finished one that I picked using the advice I got and it was dee-li-shus!

Wrap up

I did a little bit of writing tonight, but not much. Better than nothing, however. I can sleep in a bit later tomorrow; I don’t have to get up until 5:30 because I’m working out in the afternoon instead of the morning. That means I can get to bed a little later tonight and I’m [...]

Gerald Ford

Of the 7 U.S. Presidents that have been in office since I was born, Gerald Ford is the one about which I know the least. He was the first President to come into office after my birth (Nixon was President when I was born.) I have read biographies of Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Clinton. I [...]
