  • Last trains

    20 Sep 2007 » 1 min read

    During the week, the D.C. metro runs until just after midnight (it runs until 3 AM on the weekend). I always wondered how they coordinated transfers between “last trains” of the night, and last night I found out. I managed to just barely make the last Orange Line train in the direction of New Carrollton.…

  • Gym at lunch

    19 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I got to the gym at lunch and did a solid lower body workout and now my legs feel completely drained of energy. Mind you, I don’t feel at all like I did on Monday. It’s just that my lower body workout was pretty intense. I imagine I’ll be sore on Friday, if not sooner.…

  • Late night, early gym

    18 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I got home pretty late last night and didn’t end up getting to sleep until sometime around 1 AM. Nevertheless, I was up just before 4:20 this morning and for the second day in a row, I made it into the gym. Today I did cardio. I didn’t do the full 40 minutes, but I’m…

  • Extra line breaks removed

    17 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Productivity & Tools

    Microsoft Outlook has had, for several versions now, a feature whereby it will remove “extra” line breaks when displaying messages. I have no idea why it does this. It seems to serve no purpose. Here we are at a point in the history of our planet when forests are disappearing, when ice caps are shrinking,…

  • Back to the gym

    17 Sep 2007 » 2 min read about Fitness & Health

    I finally did it. I was up at 4:20 AM, had some breakfast and then caught the first Yellow line into work in order to hit the gym this morning. My plan now is to make MWF strength training days and TThSa cardio days. Today was great. I did nearly three full groups of chest…

  • The Natural

    16 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Sports

    I caught the second half of The Natural on AMC late this afternoon. What is it about baseball movies like that that can reduce a grown man to tears when Roy Hobbs hits that home run at the end of the game?

    I slept in this morning, getting up at just about 10 AM! I watched the Red Sox pound the Yankees late yesterday afternoon, and then watched a couple of movies before going to bed. It was pretty late when I finally got to sleep, which explains why I slept in so late this morning. Tivo…

  • Saturday morning errands and chores

    Up at about 8:30 AM and I headed out at once to get a haircut, which I’ve been needing for some time now. (See the before and after images below.) It was nice, I walked right into the haircut place, and was taken right away. No wait. It’s not the best haircut I’ve ever gotten,…

  • Best comeback of the season

    15 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Sports

    I started watching the Yankee game while at Carpool last night for a happy hour in celebration of Jesseca’s 30th birthday. When I left there sometime around 9 PM, the score was 2-1 Red Sox. When I got home sometime around 10 PM, the score was 5-2 Red Sox. It was the 6th inning and…
