After seeing the doctor on monday, we decided to continue ahead with the plan I discussed in my last blog and cut off the final drug I was on to control the ulcerative colitis.  It’s been years since a major episode, but going medication free is still a risk.  I’m obviously hoping to not fall [...]

a few days ago I found a package on my porch. it was pretty large – the side of the box informed me that it weighed almost 35 pounds. I was worried that I’d have to call some burly friends to help me move it, but I remembered a trick I had learned [...]

I planned to spend today at work (yes, at work!) on various projects and can report a pretty varying degree of successes:
1. I planned to finally get officially started with a workout program/diet regimen with Alfalfa from SA. He operates a company called PetraFitness where he creates customized plans for training/nutrition. I [...]

It’s been a fun past few weeks.  I haven’t been particularly productive, but it’s been fun.  I spent a lot of time hanging out with friends from the old days, playing games and just generally relaxing.  I played poker every once in awhile, won the FTP $150, etc, but nothing really new to report there.  [...]

Just had a flashback to being about 10 years old. I was playing SNK Arcade Classics Vol.1 on the PSP, having a good ol’ time with King of the Monsters for about an hour. But then at some point, after progressing through at least 10 enemies, the game got incredibly hard. As in, the “fuck [...]
