The blog has not been updated in a while.
While blogger is easy, it has too many limitations for what I want it
to do.

I am currently investigating a migration to MobileMe. The Apple
product will allow me to more easily sync email, calendars, and
contacts with my iPhone. It also provides online storage and a photo
repository. Finally I can host my web site and use iWeb to design and
post it as I want it. The key is simplicity, and I have reached a
point where I am willing to pay a marginal fee to obtain it.

As a result of the possible MobileMe migration, this blog may die.
I will keep you updated.

Been a while since my last post.  I have been spending most of my time on Facebook lately.  If you know about this site, we are most likely connected there.

We are well into the new year, and the big day will soon be upon us.   January 20th!  Inauguration Day!  The first day of what will hopefully be a bright future.

So, what have I been up to.  Well...

- It has been over a month since I had a Mt Dew.

      - Now I drink  lot of Gatorade and beer.

- My weight is down a little, about 5 lbs.

     - My goal is to loose about 40 total.  That would be really pushing it.

- Running has been going well.

     - The dreaded treadmill has not been so bad.

     - I have started to do speed work.  I have never done speed work!

     - I am contemplating a return to marathons in 2009.

- I have yet to make any resolutions for the new year, and I don't think that I will.  I know what I need to do, I just have to apply myself a little more and get it done.

- Dominic (and I) got a Wii for Xmas.  What an amazing toy!

If we are not connected on Facebook, let's hook up.

Have a good day!

Going back to the regular Blogger template today.  It is basic, clean, and less of a hassle.  Plus, I just like it better.

Had lunch with my mom & dad yesterday.  Took them out for his 88th birthday.  He was born in 1920.  It is amazing to think of the changes that have taken place during his lifetime.

Have the day off, and am just relaxing today.

This is day number 9 without soda. I decided to give it up for a week
to see if I felt better, and would lose some weight. So far I have
not really missed it.

I think that I will hit the two week mark and then reintroduce it, but
sparingly.

I know that I have not updated this in a while. Mostly been updating
my status on facebook. It tends to go in waves.

I purchased a Toyota Prius in March to replace my aging Nissan Maxima.
Since then, I have tracked my milage and savings compared to the
maxima and the next most fuel efficient vehicle on my short list, the
Honda Civic.

Prius Miles: 9592
Prius MPG: 50.05
Prius Gas Cost: $681.38

Gas Savings
- 98 Nissan Maxima: $844.03
- 08 Honda Civic: $408.02

Thank you,

Winter has come to Ohio!

This made me think of Jake. He would have loved to be out playing in
the snow.

Looks like we might do some sled riding this weekend, but it looks
like my running is going to suffer.

Now I have an excuse to spend the afternoon watching football!

My Prius key went through the wash last night. This is one of those
new keys that use an RFID chip, rather then an actual key. I was
ready to dish out $100 or more for a new one. But to my surprise, I
tested it this morning and it still works! This may change in the
future, buy itworks now.

Thanks Toyota!

Congratulations Jennifer.

It has been 1 week since I took Jake to the vet and put him down.
Since then we have found out that it was cancer, and not an infection
which was causing his problems.

It was hard at first, but our family is adjusting to life without Jake.

As a way of keeping his memory, you will start to see posts on this
blog which start off "Dear Jake".
Sent from my iPhone!

We buried Jake in the back yard yesterday.
This was Dominic's first real experience with death. I think that he
is handling it pretty well.
I was surprised that he wanted to help with the burial. He helped dig
the hole, picked out flowers, and level the area.

We are doing better today, but the house is just not the same without
the clicking of his claws on the wood floor.
