1 month in

One month in to the 2 month challenge:

I've lost 7 pounds. My goal was 8 pounds off in 2 months...it looks like I will beat it. I'm eating better. I'm exercising more. My back isn't acting up. All good stuff.

I'm also getting sick, which is not related to my diet or exercise.

*braces for a bout of winter bronchitis*

I wasn't devious enough...

...to post this Gene Pitney song on V-day. ;)



Hint: it's not about truck driving.

Happy Valentines Day...

...if you celebrate it.

May his memory be eternal.

Vancouver 2010!

I love the Winter Olympics!

My favorite sports event...period.

When I was growing up in Buffalo, I recall begging my parents to take me to the Lake Placid games in 1980. That wasn't possible, but I remember being glued to the TV. I especially remember the Miracle On Ice, even though I didn't fully understand the politics behind it all until later.

May the games be great for everyone.

Cabin Fever. I has it.

New England gets winter. I don't mind winter. But I wanna be out climbing the Monadnocks again. I want to go taking pictures of waterfalls during the spring...

Next year, I *must* get some mountaineering boots and some better outdoor gear so I can climb in the winter as well.

May I please borrow the Workingman's Jazz Band of Maynard, Mass...

...to say CONGRATULATIONS to the New Orleans Saints!

The band is damn good too.
