Log
09:45 AM: I’m up.
10:00 AM: Facebooked for perhaps ten minutes. Friend count: 620 (unchanged). Fan count: 114 (unchanged).
11:30 AM: [Emmy] called to say that she’s decided to have a pesky cyst removed from the back of her neck next month. I advised her against doing this unless she felt it was very necessary, given it’s proximity to her spine (right on top of it in fact). However, it bothers her enough that people might see it and ask about it, that she’s going to take the admittedly small risk and have it taken off.
01:10 PM: 10.0 miles on the treadmill today (up 1.9), at 3.75 MPH, 3% incline, 68 degrees F room temp, for 2 hours and 40 minutes (up 1/2 hour), 1308 calories burned, 20 Oz. of water consumed, with heart rate peaking at 148 BPM for walk / workout 1 of 130 in 2012. Man, it sure requires lots of work to restore just a bit of that elusive youthful thinness. Grrrr. But I’m tasting some of that runners’ high. So it’s not too bad.
02:55 PM: Took down all eight strings of lights on the east porch stairs railings. No bulbs needed replacing in these, owing to the fact that these particular strings are of much higher quality (and about double the cost) of some of my other strings. The strings themselves are still in excellent shape. They’d better be, given what I paid for them last year.
03:00 PM: Worked on getting this blog caught up; I’m perhaps ten days behind on these journal entries.
03:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
06:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of Dr. Phil, called Partying to Death.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. We watched tonight’s rerun episode of Hawaii Five-0.
11:20 PM: I’m heading to bed. Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content. 
Good night.
12:05 AM: The daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count for this run is ???, up from 936 at last check. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
