Monday Meanderings - 11.21.2011

They handed out the annual certificates of appreciation at Learning Ally this past week. Mine said that I have logged a total of 527 hours in the studio. I think 500 of that has been devoted to a business statistics book that goes into excruciating detail on building Excel spreadsheets to solve detailed business problems. #notlikethatbook.

Still motivated to keep the exercise and smarter food-choices action going. It continues to bring results, one of which is an increased level of, well...chafed-ness. Not sure how marathon runners handle that. Family-friendly suggestions are needed.

And just in case you are keeping a log, I have now watched all 194 minutes of Titanic, a 1966 movie called Blue Max - an oldy with George Peppard and Ursala Andress, and next is The Iceman Cometh, with Lee Marvin. Maybe I will have to figure out this streaming stuff, after all.

After lackadaisical attendance and flagging interest on our part last year, we decided to forgo season tickets to the Lady Longhorns this year.  We have access to good seats if we do decide to see a game on general admission (Barb's hairdresser has access to a block of seats). Have to see how the team does this year.

Typical Texas weather. Put the extra blanket on the bed a few nights ago. Air Conditioning came on yesterday.

You all have a good week.

Even though the name doesn't sound very family friendly -- Body Glide. You can buy it at runner's stores or maybe Academy. It comes in a stick like a deodorant. Apply to all areas prone to chafing. I mentioned it to my (very thin) running partner one time. "I've never heard of that." Yeah, not everyone needs it... price we pay for being active.
