Smart for Life–Week 18 »
by Glen A. I officially hit the 40 pounds lost mark with this week’s low weight of 201.4. That amounted to a 2.2 pound loss total for the week, with the main push coming Friday. I actually was able to run the treadmill both Friday and Saturday this week, which probably didn’t hurt, with the [...]
Knowing »
by Glen A. I like Nicholas Cage. I’m not sure why, exactly. He’s had some quirky roles, particularly when he first started out, but lately, he’s been settling into things that don’t require him to act so much as to be himself doing interesting things.

Smart for Life–Week 15 »
by Glen A. I guess I’m back on track after two weeks of not going much of anywhere. Friday, April 3 held the lowest weight total at 206.8, which means a 2.4 lbs. loss from the previous low the week before. Aside from dinner guests who were bumped up a week, and two lunches out, [...]
Comic book downloads through App Store »
by Glen A. In my postings about the iPhone, I’ve mentioned that I don’t use all of it’s functions. For the most part, it is a cell phone. I occasionally use maps, listen to music and surf the internet. Lately, however, I’ve been poking around the App Store more, almost exclusively among the selection of [...]
