So I’ve finally given in to the combined pressures of my doctor, the dieting industry, my friends and my own fat (yet still vain) backside.
I started a low-carb diet (this one specifically) a week ago. I’ve lost a few pounds, though I’m not exactly sure how many. There aren’t many people in this [...]

I had, at one point, been able to say that I worked out all my adult life. About 7 years ago, that stopped being true. In the past 7 years I have worked out on and off, but there have been periods of years between gym time.
Recently, my buddy Todd (who works at [...]

Monday night at work I got some money out of the ATM and wanted some change. I had eaten the “lunch” (in quotations cause it was 11 p.m.) that I had brought but I thought that maybe I could get some dessert in the cafeteria and get some change. Two birds thing, ya [...]

I had an appointment today with a dermatologist. My GP seems to think that my multitude of moles need to have an eye kept on them. So off I went today for my first visit.
I knew that the Doctor would want to have a look at my back and legs, so I wore [...]

There is nothing to show you how old and fat you have gotten like playing tag with your 2 kids (combined age of 6.5 years).
My lovely wife has been losing a bunch of weight lately.  My buddy Todd has been losing alot of weight.  I have not.  I’m getting very close to my breaking point.  [...]

I went and got new glasses today.  The old ones had gotten really scratched up and the left eye just wasn’t very sharp.  After two years, I figure it’s time to go get some new ones.
I normally go to Dr. Crook, who has known my family since I was a wee one in Nebraska.  He [...]

For 2007, “discipline” is going to be the overriding theme in my life. And no, I don’t mean that kind of discipline, you perv.
I’ve been very disciplined about select things in my life. During college I was extremely disciplined at working out. Going to class, studying, paying attention, not so much.
I’ve been [...]

A few days ago I was giving Ken, longtime friend and frequent commenter, a hard time on his blog about using the archaic word “liniment”.
My shed has been a mess for quite some time and it being in desperate need of attention and me having a couple of days, I decided the time was right [...]

An ongoing series in which you don’t have to be stupid, because I’ve done it for you.
I work alot of nightshifts. Half of all my regularly scheduled shifts are nightshifts and all the overtime I work nowadays is nightshift.
I mentioned to my doctor once about how tired and sleepy I get when on the [...]

I would just like to send out a special thank you to George W. Bush for using his first ever veto to stop Congress from allowing expanded research on stem cells. That this research could possibly save me and millions like me from blindness, loss of limbs and early death is of no consequence. [...]
