What a fabulous weekend! I am truly blessed with some awesome friends. Thanks for the support, words of encouragement and for all the time spent with me. Wow, the weather was stupendous! 96 heavy fighters in the list! I hadn't seen Duke Edmund in ~ 5 years and it was great to see him both on and off the list field. Valhalric's squiring and ( Read more... )

Well, Ymir approaches and ... I'm not ready. Not packed, but I am snacked. :-) I didn't get to exercise last night, but errands did get run and a healthy dinner of shrimp, brown rice and veggies did get cooked and consumed. Emerson has his reservation for a weekend in doggie hoosgow... ie., the kennel. :-( I'm going to miss him something ( Read more... )

Yes, I did lift last night. Yes, my arms are SORE today. :-) That's a good thing. I even asked a complete stranger to spot me on the chest presses so I could push the reps at the 30 lb dumb bell level (30 in each hand) and OH BOY can I feel that. I'm hoping it means I can go up a level soon. That'd be cool ( Read more... )

My body's a bit tired today. You see, I did get to the gym after work yesterday and I did get a full upper body's lifting in and I did get my 2 mile walk run in and I did get in racquetball after that. 135 minutes of exercise for this desk-job body on the first day of Duke's new Eat Right And Exercise Program. ERAE involves recording minutes of ( Read more... )

So, I've been blabbing at folks about this 5K I'm planning to run at the end of April. The last time I looked I basically looked at the date and where it was and that's about all. Today I went back and read more ( Read more... )

ON A ROLL!!!!! Yep, lower body weights, abs AND 2 miles walking. Got to the gym last night. The eating seems to be the ... challenge right now. And I can't seem to suck down enough water... probably because my salt intake is off the charts... well, for me. My fingers are so swollen my rings aren't happy... in fact mostly they haven't gone back ( Read more... )

My office has moved. I sit with a view of much cardboard and wires and such, but the phone's working; the computer's working; I've got a printer hooked up; BUT the most important thing is... I have a window. Floor to ceiling. Wider across than I am tall. It is LOVE. I just saw a train go by down Main and I knew I had to write it in here. I ( Read more... )

This morning NPR announced that Robert Goulet died in California waiting for an lung transplant. He was 73. His career took off with his roll of in Camelot on Broadway the year I was born. The summer that featured Camelot for me was some years later when the movie came out. Helen, Yvonne, Heidi and I spent that summer in Highlands, NC singing ( Read more... )

Yep, work ate my head and then I went to San Diego for work for 1/2 week and since I missed those days in the office... it's continuing to be hectic and a bit stressful. Sigh. Been a LONG time since I visited here. Not even sure I can catch up on all that's happened... so .. Highlights ( Read more... )

Just IMed with Dan and he wants me to let everyone know that he has reached his final destination and is safe ( Read more... )
