Quoting Wipeout … “Good Night, and big balls”

Jessamyn and I have been married for four years today. God has blessed us, but we know we’re only getting started. Here’s a shot from our honeymoon in Hawaii … famous restaurant I think … can’t remember. “Cheeseburger in Paradise” I think (or maybe Bubba Gumps).

I wasn’t sure what to title this post, so I copied the info off the pencil resting on the function keys on my keyboard.
OK, so built an HO Scale Inglenook Sidings Shunting Puzzle … then decided it was stupid within about 10 minutes. It doesn’t work nearly as smoothly as I wanted it to, and I have no interest in spending more money to make it better. Scratch one more dumb idea off my mental list 
Now what? I’m bored.

I like discovering new things, trying out stuff I never had before … and usually I grow bored and move on pretty quickly. I’m ok with that … which is good cuz I’ve been this way since forever. So anyway, I’ve decided to pass on the comic book bus. Total financial investment = $2.99 … for those counting at home … that’s a win
What’s next you ask? Good question. I’m thinking about building a small portable inglenook siding shunting puzzle. Could be fun to have around when we have people over. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

I don’t know if it was the last episode of Big Bang Theory, past episodes of Heroes, or what … but lately I’ve been researching comic books. I never got into comic books as a kid … and even now I have no interest whatsoever in collecting them, but maybe I’d like to read them from time to time. I hate most magazines I get, so perhaps this could be a new thing for me.
Having seen Serenity and the Firefly TV Series, the comic above (click it to go to the website) seemed like a good place to start, so I head over to Earthworld on Central Ave in Albany and bought it for $3.00. It’s good, true to the movie, but I had no idea they were so short. You can read the entire thing in about 5 minutes. Having never read a comic before, I wasn’t prepared for that.
Anyway, if there are any comic book fans out there reading this – please recommend a good comic that sarcasm heavy … I love sarcasm

Six months ago, I posted this … click me … which basically stated that I had reached my goal weight of 140 pounds. After that post I actually lost 3 more pounds, putting me at 137. Over the past 6 months I’ve more or less stayed right around 140 – 142 … not too bad for winter time. Lately, however, I’ve balooned back up to 147 pounds. This situation is unacceptable. Time to Re-implement my rules:
For the time being, I won’t try to limit how much I eat at my scheduled feeding times. If I start training for a 5k, the 2 rules above should be enough to start losing weight. I’ve chosen the 1st Annual 5k run/walk for C.O.P.S. to be my first race of the year. It’s May 9th down at the Corning Preserve – about 3 weeks away. My goal is to weigh 137 pounds on June 10th … one day before going on vacation to Florida.
