blah, no walk today...

No walk today, Sarah called and we were looking at this math and reading stuff.

When I don't walk I start to get hungry. I scrouged up some change and resisted the call of the Chocolate Jr., and poptarts and got some trail mix. Maybe my Force of Will, is returning. I was also able to keep away from the Duncan Donuts earlier in the week. I have kicked the sugar from my coffee as well.

Dont forget to check out some of the Reader links on the left...

And Mental has overhauled his bloc as well...

Of Bugs and Grass Cutters...

I wanted to log this kind of stuff last year as I was doing my walks but... i didn't.

I found the variety of bugs and birds that I saw at various times of the summer to be amazing.

Bugs: This was the first warm week and i started seeing the little speedy brown spiders on the side walk. As soon as you step in their block they take off for the grass. Of course there are ants. Today it was small black ants and bigger red ants.

Birds: I was reading for most of my walk and forgot to check out the birds today. I know there are robins and doves though.

Some thing I have found with the crew that cuts the grass here. They must have some sort of procedure for what to do when they are cutting near a sidewalk and people are walking on the sidewalk. They all stop at just about the same distance and then when you get a good distance away they start going again... i guess it could just be good judgment but it seems like something more than that.

So they were doing construction on some of the side walk so I had to double back instead of making a loop. I got 2.42 miles at about 3.35 mph.

Ahh... some tidbits from the Cure book. Robert Smith joined the banshees after the banshees had a argument over album signing at a record store. At the bands show later that night the Cure finished there set and a couple Banshee members hadn't shown up. they got the cure to play a couple extra songs (seventeen seconds, which didn't have lyrics yet) and then had the two bands play a couple songs together. later after the banshees couldn't find another bassist, Smith agreed to play with them as long as the Cure stayed as there support band for the tour...

And the GPS says...

... That my 2 lap walk at work turns out to be 2.21 miles! I know last year I was getting 4 laps most days and I remember timing them to be about 10 minutes each. 3 laps should be easy and I'll work back up to the 4 laps by the end of the week. 4 laps 4 miles... lets see there has to be a calorie thing on the net here... Hmm.. about 350.

Looks like my healthy weight is ack! 148lb! I dont think i was ever 148. i think 2 years ago i got down to the high 160s. i think I am in the 180s right now if not 190.

Lets see what i can do..

What do the Sex Pistols and Siouxsie and the Banshees have in common?

The Banshees first drummer went on to rename himself Sid Vicious... yhea the guy in the Sex Pistols.

All kinds of cool tidbits coming from the Cure book I am reading...

My legs hurt...

i noticed after walking to day that my legs are all tight now...

Yhea, I almost couldn't walk up to the free pizza... thats why i call this trying to lose weight not a diet... I'll decide what an when and how much. It's a conscious thing plus a force of will thing...

Mmmm... cheery coke too...

Back to posting...

This will be short but I have to get back into the daily posting and not just posting things I find on the web.

Over to the left you will see a section of articles that show up in my Feed Reader that I want to point out for one reason or another... click'em they are safe and fun!

I have some back posting to catch up on, what happened to the car situation and some other stuff too.

Today though, I start my diet, well not a diet but an attempt to lose weight. I jumped out to two laps of the huge walk way here at work. I am going to pull the GPS out tomorrow so I can measure the walk. It was nice and I was able to work up a good sweat.

I reinstalled windows last night. Formated the drive and got all the basics loaded back in. I didn't have to back up the music this time though because it is on a separate drive. I loaded WinXP, SP2, all the updates from Microsoft, ZoneAlarm, Avast Anitvirus, the Google Pack, FireFox, and Quicken.

I never knew Ray. He always came off as pretty a cool person in videos. I did have a shirt signed by him when we saw the Bones Brigrade in Philly way back when. If you have something to donate go here. Ray Underhill
