I’ve joined a gym here and today was my first day. Here’s a link to my fit day journal for today.
What in the name of sam hill?!

I guess Sears & Roebucks is going to have to start printing their catalog again. What a goofy article….how can something TP be worse than a hummer?! Think about it people….we grow trees in the US as crops. Just like corn, beans, rice,sugar cane, etc… They are raised on giant tree farm, harvested, then replanted. ARG! Oh, the article is here. |

Mobius Strip in Prague
Cyndi and I went to Prague a few weeks ago (pics will be uploaded shortly). While there, I saw this neat mobius strip.
Why blog about this now? Well, I found out that last night was 1234567890 Epoch Time. And I missed it. ARG. That led me to rms singing the GNU Song. (Who’s rms?) Things led to things. Those things let to other things. Which led me to think about the mobius strip.

Bike Ride — Feb. 9, 2009
Well, I went on my first bike ride of 2009 today. Wow. It was horrible. Here are the stats (sorry…my computer only does metric):
Dist: 23.45 km
Ride Time: 1 h 3 min 38 sec
Avg. Speed: 22.3 kmph
Feb. Dist: 23.45 km
Total Dist: 298 km
Total Time: 17 hr 13 min
Doing some more math, I barely averaged 13 mph. ARG! I know, I haven’t ridden since Septemberish and have eaten poorly (I’ve gained 10 kg from my low after we arrived). My goal is to get back in shape (where I was 1.5 years ago) and loose some weight (I’d like to weigh between 90 and 95 kg).
Lydia
Oh yeah…
I was reading the BBC today and came across this article about how Australians like their hot dogs (they call them snags) well done on the grill (barbie). I only have one thing to say:
They’ve never tried cooking hot dogs over a fire and getting them well done.
The first challenge is getting the fire hot. But not too hot. But not too cold either.
Then you’ve got to figure out what to put the dog on (stick or metal stick. We gave up cutting sticks when we found the metal forks at Cabelas)
Then you’ve got to cook the dogs. They need to be done. But not burnt. But not underdone either.
To the left is a picture of us cooking dogs at the farm. Prijatno!!
Sarma — Serbian Delight
Before Christmas, Cyndi and I had some friends invite us to their place for dinner (;unch actually…but it was at 5pm!). We had Sarma. It is rice, meat, etc… rolled up in cabbage leaves and cooked. Lydia had some and really loved it. Here is a picture of her.
P.S. Randy, I’ll never forget what you said about stuff wrapped up in green leaves…but this was really good.
