Today I have officially got back in the ole diet and exercise game, with
a planned stopping date of June 10th. That is basically 17 days of
dieting and exercising. I think I can do that. I like doing things by
dates, they are so much easier. January 1st is a good date to setup, for
instance I quit smoking Jan 1st 4 years ago. This time I am remembering
to have a start and stop date on my exercising, so I have a goal. The
goal is not in poundage or some other wild factor, but it is in making
the date, which I know I will achieve. In other news mom got me a cool
watch for my birthday. I still shudder to think I am going to be over
30. Give me a couple more years and I should be using a cane and wearing
a mumu. I am now one of the few who actually wear watches. Their days
are long gone, with cell phones telling us the time now. They are the
new "pocket watch", the timepiece of choice. This watch mom gave me is a
replica of the world's most expensive watch made in 1933. It has the
month and day hands on it. I guess back then that was the future of
watches. I remember when I was in third grade I had a huge radio watch
that could pick up 2 stations. It had headphones with it. I remember
listening to it in class and at recess. But like all watches, once the
battery died that was the end of that. I think I collected a bunch of
dead calculator watches as the years passed, but I still remember with
fondness my radio watch. I would dream of a TV watch back then. I guess
that dream has come true with my new cellphone. Gotta go, the news is
on. What am I? 30? Yup :-(

Thought of the Day

you're not good enough for her."
