Tubby is Tired
The one major downside to being semi-retired is that I gained weight due to being less active. I didn’t realize how many calories are burned just getting ready for work, walking over to the cable car, taking the cable car, doing things in and around the office, then taking the cable car back home. I’ve … Continue reading
Hold On To Your Hats, Kids!
I’m ostensibly back. I won’t promise anything just yet as to if I can keep this up, but I’ll give it my best try. There’s been a bit of emotional trauma going on which has taken me time to deal with. In other news, I’m semi-retired. My boss, who I worked with for 20+ years, … Continue reading
M.I.A.

where I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. and get up the following morning at 6:45 a.m. Why is that, you ask? Because it’s 11:40 p.m. and I just got home from the gym about 5 minutes ago. Once this post is finished, I have to take a quick shower, take my contacts out, wash … Continue reading
Happily Cost Effective
I don’t know about you, but I like to budget as much as possible. In other words, I prefer to shop at warehouse or discount-type places for food (CostCo, Target & Trader Joe’s), go for drinks at Happy Hour, see a matinee rather than paying full-price for a movie, take my own snacks to a … Continue reading
Minor Annoyances, Petty Grievances & Chinese Food
Minor Annoyances AND Petty Grievances While at the gym last night, I was reminded of several things that irritate me. Here they are: At the gym – I work out at 24 Hour Fitness, which is only a few blocks from my apartment. I once asked if they were actually open 24 hours. They replied … Continue reading
