Where to begin? I had pretty much given up on the whole blogging thing, but thought differently about it recently for a couple reasons. I have a little down time right now, which is great. AND, I have given out a particular email address that advertises that I have a web page, and on that web page I have a link to this blog. So, I figured the proper thing to do would be to revive this puppy and start writing again. Even if just sporadically.
So, what have I been up to that's noteworthy? Hmm...well remember that blurb up above about a little down time? You don't? Crap it's one paragraph ago, keep up people. Anyway, I decided that it would be a great time to schedule a doctor's appointment. We have a software freeze at work so we can't really roll out any projects until February, I have the last week of January scheduled to take a 5-day course for ICND2 (to attempt to pass the ensuing exam and become a fully certified Network Associate of the Cisco variety...CCNA), which leaves me with about 2 and 1/2 weeks to do whatever. So aside from getting my work car in shape to turn in (I've got a new one ordered), I decided my hernia was bad enough to do something about. I plan to have the doctor concur with that diagnosis and then refer me to someone that can do something about it. I don't plan to have the surgery until February, but I might as well get the diagnosis now before my week of class.
And that's about it. I know, fun right? Let's just hope it really is just a hernia and I don't end up having to pull a Walter White and prepping for my family's future without me. Kidding.
Every week (mon-fri), I get up at the hemorrhaging crack of dawn to make myself feel confident that I made a wise investment in my gym membership. What makes these trips so special (aside from the fact that I've lost 18 lbs - yes, I do feel better and I AM quite proud of myself, thank you for asking), is that there are some pretty, um, let's call them "special" people that also share my morning routine. I don't mean that these people are mentally challenged (depending on your definition of the term), but I'd say there are a few that probably have someone living with them so they don't hurt themselves. The subject of today's blog is one of those such persons, except he tends to forget his care provider at home. He probably does something crafty, like turn off his nurse's alarm clock the night before (cause at his age, he can't sleep before 2:00), and sneaks out in time to enjoy sharing a locker room with me. I also must mention that when I first
