09:00 AM: I’m up. My weight did not change from yesterday. It’s still 173.5 Lbs. See here for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.
09:30 AM: Listened to more of the Best African American Essays: 2009 book overnight.
02:00 PM: Misc. office work – balancing checking accounts, sorting mail, paying bills, and so on.
03:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
06:00 PM: iPodded at the pavilion. It’s great to have reliable WiFi signal there.
07:55 PM: Watched the 2010-01-24 episode of NBC’s Meet The Press on the DVR.
09:50 PM: Talked with [Emmy], and we listened to the Penguins Vs. Capitals. The Pens lost, 4 to 3. 
10:30 PM: Moved clothes, sheets, and towels through the washer and dryer, and watched a few of my “favorite” scenes from that ABC movie The Day After, which portrayed what going through a nuclear war might be like here in America. This picture still gives me the chills. Yet for some reason, every now and then, I’m drawn back to it; even purchasing the DVD. I taped it when it aired back in 1983. Anyone with a VCR at work recorded it as well. Coworkers who couldn’t see it live arranged with us ahead of time to make copies for them. They returned them afterwards. I think I had two VCRS going that night, and my immediate supervisor ran a couple more besides. Everyone wanted to see this.
12:20 AM: Listened to more of the Best African American Essays: 2009 book; this time, an essay written by a fellow who lost both his mother and father to Alzheimer’s disease, and after his painfully detailed descriptions of his parents’ decline (particularly, his father’s), I’m wholly grateful that no one in my family suffered from this as of yet.
12:30 AM: Okay, that’s a wrap on another day. So I’m going to bed. Lots of paperwork to finnish tomorrow, and I do wish to be refreshed when I tackle those seemingly endless mounds. So good night all, and take care.
