I joined the gym in my building last night. It's so inexpensive, and it's so convenient, that I really have no excuse not to use it. Soon, I will be buff! Well, maybe not soon, since I suffer from skinny-geek syndrome. At least I'm starting from a good baseline. I'm planning on going tonight. I'm mentioning it here only so I'll have a sense of accountability. Now if I don't go, I'll have to fess up.

I'm trying to introduce more structure in my life. I need to code a little bit, every day. I need to work out on a regular basis. I need to blog. I'm hoping to develop a good set of healthy habits, to put some order and direction in my life. I'm at my worst when I let things get unstructured.

I'm selling my mini-disc players (one is a recorder, one is just a player) and it's weird that I can get sentimental about technology. My first MD player was a treat I gave myself when I first started working Manhattan, and was commuting from Westchester. I had just moved into a great little apartment with my future wife, and it was a pretty happy time. When I dug the MD out of storage, and found all my old music mixes, it really brought back a lot of memories. It's silly to keep it, though, now that I've got the PJB-100, which is just so much more convenient. Still, makes me a little sad to let it go. Like saying goodbye to another part of my life that's now lost to me.

Onward and upward I suppose. One thing I've learned recently is that you are never so old that you don't have more innocence to lose. There are so many things I just can't go back to. Note to self, enjoy the moment, for it'll soon be gone, often in more ways than I can anticipate.
