So today is my 38th birthday. As anyone who knows me can attest, I always take my birthday off work and like to sleep in. You may be asking yourself, if he likes to sleep in, why is he typing his blog at 7:59 AM? Did the baby wake up? No, that was at 4:00 AM, then I went back to sleep. So what is the reason for waking up so early on your day to sleep in? A guy from my office called me in a

Well for starters, I can now get to my blogging a little easier. Using BlogThis, I merely have to click this link and it will start a new window where I can start typing about whatever I want to blog about... Obviously I use Blogger (been using it since long before it was a Google property) and now I have found a way to blog without having to go to the blogger site, log in and then start

Well as anyone who knows me can attest to, I love collecting movies. I have recently started migrating my DVD collection into an HD-DVD and Blu-Ray collection. Yes I am one of the fortunate ones who can take advantage of both formats as my player. I own the Samsung BD-UP5000, which has turned out to be simply awesome! As of right now, I have 1,271 movies in my collection and it keeps growing

Well, after a long trial to get Firefox downloaded (it was available, then it wasn't then it was again). I am using it now and so far, the differences are very nice. One thing to consider before jumping in with both feet, if you have been using Firefox 2.xx for a while, you are no doubt in love with a few add-ons (or Extensions). If you are in fact in love with a few extensions, take the time

OK, this time I really mean it. My last post was on December 17, 2007 which was 16 days after my son was born, it is not June 9, 2008 and he is now more than 6 months old. God, so much has happened in my life! Of course I am talking about my personal life here, my professional life still remains the same, PDRMA. I have been blessed with Michael and he is really allowing Leslie and I to live

Well, it has been almost a full year since my last post on this blog and I guess one could say that a lot has happened in my life as well as the world. Of course, you already know what has happened in the world, so hows-about I tell you what has happened in my life. Well for starters, back in February, Leslie and I went to Napa Valley to do a little wine tasting before a conference that I had.

Well since my last post a lot has happened. Let's see, for starters, on Body for Life, by day 84 I lost a grand total of 35 pounds and almost made it to my ideal weight for our cruise (I am still going to work even harder next cycle of 84 days to get down to my ultimate weight). Next I went on my cruise to the Western Caribbean -- you have got to see the pictures-- while there did one of the

Jason Long is reportedly no longer being "the Mac" in the I'm a Mac/I'm a PC commercials. That really is too bad, I liked him in many of his movies (stupid as they are) such as Waiting and Accepted. Oh you don't remember who they are? Here is an image to refresh your memory... Cult of Mac

Ahhh, yes, just one more way Google is making our lives easier... and keeping track of everything we do on the Internet. Is this covered by their privacy policy? Can a company get hold of this information on us at this point? I don't know, but it looks like one more thing to think about on the Internet.

So today marks one of the first major failures I have had on Body for Life… sad as I am about it, it was a party that one of my best friends had last night and I drank, alcohol if you can believe it. Well, it was kind of hard not to as my costume was that of a KEG of beer. My hat for the keg was a tapper that held about 20 ounces worth of beverage, my beverage of choice of course being beer.

Well I have been doing Body for Life now for quite a few weeks, don't know the number off the top of my head. I am now at the point where I have lost 25 pounds and need to lose another 15 before our cruise in 5 weeks. One thing I am doing in addition to my regular workout is exercise boot camp. It is a 5:30 AM workout regimine that is quite tough although nothing like real boot camp. Our

So today is day 19 of Body for Life and weight loss is going good although I seemed to have hit a plateau on the “big time” loss. I am working out like a mad man but the weight is just not melting off like it was. Tonight I am going to do a long treadmill workout and tomorrow will be an upper body day. The food is starting to get a little old --- I miss PIZZA J. I think I will do a lot

Three cars race against each other but the Fiat and the Ferrari 360 Modena are both given headstarts against the Formula 1. As someone who has always wanted a Ferrari, this is a little embarrassing. Maybe it is time I change my dream car to a Formula 1 car, of course there is always that little problem about driving it down the street... yeah right, let the cops try to catch me!!

Well, here I sit at the end of another work day, Day 11 on “Body for Life” and last night I went a little crazy on the treadmill. Exercising for over 65 minutes and burning over 1,000 calories!! Anyway, technically yesterday was not an aerobic exercise day, but an upper body day – today is an aerobic day so tonight I will be doing aerobic and upper body (as soon as Survivor is over J).

So now it is day 8 on “Body for Life” and I can see a noticeable change in my energy level as well as the ‘snugness’ of my clothing. When I look in the mirror I do not see any changes yet, but that is probably because they are such little changes and I look at myself naked in the mirror every day (not for hours on end or anything, c’mon). So last week, on day 5 I worked my lower body and let me

Sometimes I ask myself, "self, why do you even bother with this blog, you never keep it up to date?" To which my other side replies, "Why are you such a pessimist? Take off the skirt, put on the pants and start writing your thoughts down." So here goes. This past Monday (September 4) marks the new place in my life, I have had enough of being “large and in charge”. I have contemplated it for

So as you all know, my wife, my dogs and myself took part in the Bark in The Park (our 7th, overall the 12th for the organization). So anyway, they raised over $220,000 for the animals in donations during the event. Thank you to all who helped out with my boys working toward their very lofty goal. So what is next on the Anti-Cruelty Society event calendar you ask? Well, I am going to let you
