I have been spending a lot of time at my gym, LA Fitness. In fact, I haven’t been to the gym this much since college. Usually, a group of us go at lunch for a quick cardio workout. Then, after work, I go back to the gym for some additional cardio and some light weights.
Caroline and I are sticking to our diet and part of that includes going to the gym. But I am begining to understand why some people look to the outdoors for entertainment. I would like to try surfing. But my body is not ready yet. By the time we go to Hawaii for the Buller Wedding, I want to be surfing. Several of the people at Agent Image are surfers. They go before work and sometimes after as well. They talk about the waves, the ride, the peace, the high.
It remindes me of my jogging days. About 30 minutes into the run, there was no one around me. I was on a runners high. It was a great feeling, but one that is lacking when you are straped to a machine. So I need a hobby. An active hobby. Any suggestions?

On Sunday, Caroline and I went to Pasadena to view “An Inconvenient Truth“. I liked it. It presented the info in a detailed but simple way. Stats are always difficult to present. One, they can be boring, and two, stats can be manipulated. So whenever I see a lot of stats, I tend to place half or 3/4 merit on the info. But it was a good movie.
One of the more important items that I took from the movie was that I really miss owning a Mac Laptop. Did you see that presentation, it was sweet and I think it was created on Keynote, the Apple presentation software. Very cool graphics and animation. Now I don’t even do presentations or anything, but that was pretty cool.
Al Gore was pretty compelling. Had he presented himself like this during the 2000 election, he would have won in a landslide. I wonder what life would have been like if he had won?
Caroline asked a very good question/statement at the end of the film, “Why are they charging to see this movie? They should show this for free. Everybody should see this movie.” I agree.
Up next, “Who Killed the Electric Car?“

WOW, you’re still here! Thanks!
Anyway, as you can guess…I have been busy. The new job is unlike the old job in that it pays more AND there is a lot more work on a daily basis. So, I have been busy. Thus the lack of blog entries. Having said that, why do I need to write a novel for a blog entry? I say I don’t. So I need to keep it short but often.
So I won some money playing in a Limit Hold’em Tournment and I decided to use my winnings to buy a car. I made my last few payments for the VW and now the pink slip is in the mail.
Otherwise, things are pretty chill. OK, I’m done.
