Time To Get Out the Blue Sponge

Today is exactly 10 weeks until a major milestone birthday.  I will be the big five oh.  I don't want to start my second half century looking as pudgy as I do right now.  I want to weigh under 165 pounds.  So, that is my goal.

I weighed myself at the gym today and the total was 183 pounds.  I figure I should be able to drop 18 pounds or more before the big day.

I plan to eat better and run more.  I ran both yesterday and today.  I'm getting back on track.  I'm going to give it the old college try anyway.  However, I still want to be able to enjoy the occasional Friday Night Cocktail.  I'll just run farther those days.  Wish me luck!

Yes, I know this photo is getting old.  It is from the Air Force Marathon in September 2008.

Shane Goes to Tacoma's Glass Museum

Mitch Block guessed where in the world Shane was (Tacoma, Washington), and also suggested while there, he should go visit the Glass Museum.  He added he didn't know of anything else to do there.  Well, that's just what Shane did.  He also heard that it was about the only thing to do in Tacoma.  So he went.

Shane sent me the following photos from his visit.  The first shows the rainy outside of the building and the next two are of the making of a bowl.  He must have been impressed as he said he also bought some glass at a nearby shop.
