Here's a moth I saw at work when it flew onto our trailer. While it was flying towards me, I thought it was a bat. This thing is huge. Anyone care to ID it?

Let's get right to it, shall we?
Movies:
- Dance 'Til Dawn was every 80s teen-directed sitcom and/or every episode of "Saved By The Bell" all wrapped up into one movie. April requested it. She thinks it's the best movie ever made. I would have rather sniffed dog doo on a stick. Did the 80s really happen?
- Zodiac was beautifully shot and edited ( Read more... )

Ok. Here's the very embarrassing video of my progress, from January 8-April 2. I thought I joined Crossfit on the 15th, hence the "2-1/2 months" I kept saying in the video.
I'm only in my boxers, and my body is gross. But I'm definitely making some progress. Tell me what you think!

My friend Steph, who is taking part in my "1,000 Mile Human Locomotion Challenge," asked how my progress has been going. So, here's where I'm at:

I've watched two movies recently that don't offer a single happy moment. They are probably two of the most depressing films I've ever seen, actually. But they are both really spectacular:
Dear Zachary: A Letter to His Son About His Father is a documentary about a guy -- a funny, witty, life-of-the-party doctor -- who started dating this much ( Read more... ) -

I've been considering writing an entry about things I've learned over the past 31 years on how to live a happy(ish) life. Things like "excuses will only get you so far, which isn't very far at all."
But at the end of Harpo Speaks (page 434, if my memory serves), he wrote his own list that I thought I'd share. I think it sums up many of my ( Read more... ) -

I went 14.7 miles on the trail today, though I went a little slower than last time. Partly because I went in a different direction and had to climb up a super steep hill.
And, for some reason, I just didn't have the energy today. April and I did a Crossfit workout the other day in which I think I overdid it. My energy has been shot ever since ( Read more... ) -

Here I sit at work. I've been here just over three hours, and I have about nine more to go. So, you get to read a mobile update from my trusty iPhone.
I promise I won't write anything about Crossfit, working out, rollerblading, or anything like that except for one little item. I'm sorry if I bore you with that stuff. But, with things like that, if ( Read more... )
