Long Time No Blog.

Lots of people ask "how was your weekend?" on Monday... this past weekend was Valentine's Day, so usually the conversations are a bit more interesting.

Mine was pretty cool. We went to a baptism of a family friends young daughter, and attended a Saturday Church service right afterward. A few specific things about the sermon struck a chord with me, but that's not unusual when you get to hear the Word. My wife and I went out for Mexican with no wait, and I watched my 5-month-old niece for a few hours on Sunday.

I ran this morning (it is Monday) and I officially started the "two mile" mark. I talked with my Dad and told him I could run two miles... I had only run 1.5 at the time, but hey... it isn't like he reads my blog, or was gonna go to the gym with me. But it was nice to hear him say I was doing better than him, since he's always asking about how I am (physically, emotionally, etc.). I skipped out on any kind of healthy power breakfast, and forgot several items in a morning rush that involved my kids waking up and being slow-risers. I really, really, need to figure out what I'm going to eat if I keep this running crap up, because I almost died. Scarfing down a few slices of left-over whatever isn't going to cut it. Like, protein, energy stuff.

I'm going to go ahead and invest in a heart-rate monitor and some gloves. It seems we're serious enough about the gym activity that I should allocate something to get as much as I can out of it, and quit cheating/abusing my body just to say I went.

Twitter is my friend today... I think I tweeted, like 10 times, about random crap that wasn't really important, but mostly just stuff that popped into my head while listening to my mp3 player. Speaking of which, I like my Zune. I hate using Windows, but I tell you what... that stuff mostly works. I'm so, so, so, tired of messing with Linux crap. I don't have the time like I used to... and since time and money are on some sort of exchangeable medium scale, I'm definitely going to have to cut back on the "oh, I can get this to work for free..." and "my Freedom has value" rants. I got too much crap to do.

Apple, sorry, I'm not paying for another "workstation" and I'm not really a Laptop guy. Value for my money is still a priority, and your stuff is cool, but I got a family to feed, and my clothes ain't fittin' anymore. Maybe I'll decide that used stuff is cool and go iPod on myself, because I hate inconsistent interfaces... but "good enough" is going to have to get it.

What the heck? I'm rambling... and I'm at work...and I have a doctor's appointment before I get home. I guess I had better finish this work. Peace out. Mo' better blogging is coming... I promise.
