I didn’t get up early yesterday morning (or this morning for that matter) and so I headed to the gym with Kelly right after work. It was a cardio night and I got in a good 40 minutes on the elliptical, although my right knee did flare up a bit toward the end. It was crowded by…
This is related to the consolidation process from last week. I’ve finally got the bulk of my book catalog loaded into LibraryThing. I’m still in the process of tagging and cleaning up the entries that are there, but with the exception of some really new books I’ve acquired, and a few still packed away in…
Today was one of those days where I couldn’t focus as much asI’d have liked to. The work day passed slowly and despite having no meetings, I didn’t make as much progress as I hoped. This evening, I finished reading Adrift, which was just a remarkable survival story. It’s incredible what Callahan went through in his 76 days in…
Backdated posts from Valentine’s Day and the weekend are coming soon. ETA: weekend has been updated. You can read about the trip to Albany here.
After 4 days off, I was back at the gym this morning. Up at 3:50 AM. I made scrambled eggs for breakfast and read for 45 minutes before heading down to the gym. After the usual 5 minute warmup, I proceeded with the chest/back workout, lifting a total of 17,010 pounds, 700 pounds better than last week. I was…
We headed back home today. We had such a great time visiting with strausmouse and rmstraus –too short, really. We left their house around 10:30 AM and we were in our door three hours later, which is just how it should be. I’m so glad we decided to fly and not drive. We would have lost…
I slept great last night and we were up around 7:30 AM and stayed in bed until the Little Dude came a-pounding at our door. We had a light breakfast and then spent the morning lazing about, chatting. Later in the morning, we headed downtown to have brunch. The place we went (I can’t recall the…
I gave Kelly her Valentine’s gift yesterday, since we had a busy day today, and she gave me not one but two cards this morning, which made me realize that I hadn’t gotten her any cards. Nevertheless, we had a very nice Valentine’s day–our first as a married couple. I was up at 6 AM to feed the…
I’ve been tagged again, this time by rmstraus via Facebook. So: Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. Instructions: 1) Look at the list and put an x after those you have read. 2) Add a + to the ones you LOVE. 3) Star * those…
I checked out Adrift: Seventy-six days lost at sea by Steven Callahan today and started reading it this evening. I noticed something very interesting almost right away. There were lots of penciled in checkboxes next to various lines in the text, and on the lines that were checked, a word or two was underlined in…
I went to bed early last night (~7 PM) and I actually slept well. So much so that I decided to sleep in this morning and go to the gym this evening instead. I slept until just after 6 AM and felt well rested. I did get to the gym this evening for my 10th workout in 11 days.…
