Starting over - over and over
I went to the gym today and did about an hour of elliptical runner. My main thought while spinning my legs in circles was how lately no matter what area of my life I am looking at I feel like I am starting over when I finally get around to doing something. When it comes to going to the gym the idea is that I should get into some rhythm where every Wendesday afternoon and Sunday night I would go and do an hour of excercise but instead it is patchy and I go a few weeks without going to the gym. Then I start-up again with the same thoughts on one random day that I actually excercise that I am about to get regular with it. The same is true with writing in this blog, doing work to sell new accounts and build the business, keeping the car in good repair, keeping the apartment clean and upgraded, getting the computers tuned to work properly, programming at work, writing at work, reading books, going out, or taking care of Madeline in the times I am alone with her. Lately it always feels like I am starting from scratch whenever I am doing something. Maybe the list of things to keep regularly doing is too long and too conflicted. The one thing I have gotten consistent at is watching a DVD once per day. That's a good 90 minute investment that I might need back. So for today as I begin the work week on a Sunday night I think my best bet is to create a schedule and stick to it for a while and even lay off the DVDs wherever possible and substitute work-outs for every other one of them. Maybe that will work?

Dan - old man. Every now and again an itch overcomes me. This weekend, under odd circumstances, while armed with the crossword puzzle and a martini I bumped into an old high-school aquaintence - Kristen McDonald (sic). We chatted and, disapointedly didn't get to catch up as she was with friends.
So, to cut to the chase once again, how the hell are you?
