So, the last time I got weighed, I was in the Dr.'s office. Couple months ago. 229 pounds. Only 11 pounds shy of my all-time high of 240. Extremely unhappy about that. Putzed around for a while, felt generally miserable and made some half-hearted attempts at losing weight. 4 1/2 weeks ago, I got serious. Really started watching what I eat, been riding the bike...

Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fucking Kingdom

Went for my ride this morning, and since its a holiday I stretched it out. I also left later than typical, so it was light enough to see clearly. You wouldn't believe the vast array of fauna that I saw. The typical birds, of course. Saw a pile of rabbits, two cats a monster of a hawk who took...

Yargh!!!

I need this week to be OVER already. Course, lucky me, I get to work on Monday. Probably one of 6 people on the Eastern Freakin Seaboard who will actually be working. Course, I also get to work a few hours this weekend. Inventory SUCKS!!

OK, maybe this rain is serving a purpose. My neighbor likes to work on cars. He likes to rev the engines, with their shitty exhausts, at 2 a.m. VERY loudly. Right now, his ground floor is under several inches of FLOWING water. Ya know, the place where he keeps all his tools and works on said cars.

Oh, and the car he's so proud of???...

OK... Enough with the rain already!!!

Granted we're not getting it as bad here as some places further South, but still.... To be totally self-centered about the whole thing, I committed to this exercise regime, I've been doing pretty well on it, but this riding in the rain stuff SUCKS!!!

And I'm not real fond of the humidity either.

*mumble*

OK, I'm done now. :-)

Damn, I'm a slacker... Alas, it ain't like I haven't been busy. Wow, that's some real terrible English....

Anyway, I'm so totally ready for the weekend. Work has been insane, and I desperately need a break. Gonna loaf on Friday and muck around in the woodshop on Saturday with two friends. Sunday, you guessed it, more loafing.

I am still keeping up with my exercise....

OK, so I'm on an exercise kick. I tried riding my stationary bike after work, and simply could NOT motivate myself. Then I remembered, HEY, I have a real bike in the basement. Got it out, dusted it off, put air in the tires.... I've been riding in the mornings (yes, EARLY mornings, before work) 5 out of the last 7 days.

I hate to...

Whoa.... Been slacking, over a week since the last entry. Guess that's OK, as there hasn't been a whole lot to tell. Work has been fuckin crazy.

I guess the brightest thing going right now is Nick's Memorial Day Party (tm). One of the annual events in our circle of friends. (Another of which being My Halloween Party (tm)) Interesting things always happen at these...

There is far too much cake in my house.

How the hell is it that I have every weekend booked until the 4th of July?? When did I become so ghod-damned busy? I guess its payback for all those times folks came up here and helped me work on the house. Plus Memorial Day and Nick's party. And its getting into summer, so SCA events are starting up.

Yeah, guess that covers it. Sure...

Have a friend who is a Philly-area playwright. Wend down to there on Saturday to see his new play being performed. LOVED it!!! :-)

However, probably the most amusing part of the weekend was dinner on Saturday night. We went to a Turkish restaurant in the city called Konak. There were 10 of us and we were having a "good time". Well, just as we...
