My Accomplishments May Not Impress You

Wow, I'm terrible at updating this thing. 

My last post was a picture Odyssey of my friendship with Ken.  He's doing quite well, by the way. He's got a spanking new pacemaker and an extended lease on his life. I'm thrilled about that, and I'm sure his family is too, seeing as how his son just turned nine. 

Anyway, I thought I'd take a moment to list some of my latest accomplishments. These may not seem extraordinary. I haven't tromped up Kilimanjaro.  But I do work 40 hours a week, and I manage to get my son his 15 hours of behavioral therapy a week for his autism.

I've been working quite closely with my budget in order to afford a couple of Crossfit classes a week.  It appears to be working because it's been nearly two years since I had my kid, and I'm only five pounds away from my pre-baby weight. This is exciting to me. Also, I did a hand-stand for the first time in years.  I forgot how much fun they are.  I want to do them more, now, but there is really a lack of wall-space where I live right now.

Also, after I put the boy to bed, I have about an hour of time to myself. I should be paying bills or doing something responsible, I'm sure, but instead, I've been watching episodes of Star Trek (The Original Series), from the beginning, in order.  I'm having a LOT of fun with that.  Something about old science-fiction plots mixed with sixty year old socio-cultural norms cracks me up. I've also been posting my impressions to twitter. 

Here are some examples:

Star Trek "TheApple:" The cast of Jersey Shore beta-tests an early Hunger Games environment. #StarTrek

And now, I'm learning that embedding Tweets into my blog isn't working, and I don't know as much about HTML as I thought I did.

Never mind. It isn't as though more than 3 people read this anyway.
