Slaying Heretics in the New Year

[Martok]

For the first time in a while, I have made several resolutions for the new year...none of which I've written down or spoken aloud to anyone.  Doing so always seems to dramatically reduce my odds of actually accomplishing any of them.  :-\ 

If we had lines here that would have crossed all of them. For the 1,077,986th time.

ROFL!  You truly are one of the most quotable people I know, Gus.  Bless you.  (And bless 'geek for his own warped sense of humor as well!)  :)

Thank you Sir. That's why I get the big grog bucks.

[Father Ted]

^You will be my bellweather.

I have to say this did me pause for thought - should I be pleased, embarrassed, or seeking a new identity?

How are your knees?

Knees are fine and I run mostly on the pavement (that would be sidewalk - I don't want to get run over).  I maintain that the cushioning benefits on joints and ligaments of running on grass are out-weighed by the effects of less sure footing on a more uneven and slippery surface.

1] Go to the gym 3 days a week.  We walk on an indoor track which has a rubberized surface.
2] Leave management at the end of the year.

I've taken up eating pork rinds again this year.

^Winner.

I've found I no longer need alcohol to pass out in random locations.

I had to stop lifting heavy weights a few years ago (cartilage damage) and, after turning that muscle into 10 kilos of blubber, I'm trying to do a lot more cardio.  I try to get in at least 30 minutes per day on either the ellipticals at the gym, my recumbent bike at home, or the hiking trail and stairs of doom near my place (haven't been up there since mid-autumn though.  I getting old and cranky and I ain't puttin' up with no rain!).

I have a FitBit and find that it's sometimes more of a hindrance than a help.  It turns out that I end up walking an average of 10KM/day at work and climbing 40 flights of stairs.  I use this as an excuse to eat more pizza.



 

[Gusington]

Pizza is good.

[Staggerwing]

Pizza is good.

Pizza is like sex.

Great pizza is fantastic. Bad pizza... is still pretty good.

[Gusington]

I live by that mantra.

Ummm..

I'm beginning to think Gus was making.. other.. implications with the "how are your knees" question.  ^-^

[Sir Slash]

My knees are great. That's a good thing since when I get down on them, sometimes I can't get back up.

Been married for awhile then, huh?

[Gusington]

Kneel before Zod.

[Sir Slash]

Hey. I wear the pants in my family. I just can't ever find them where my wife puts them at. She tells me not to worry, she'll give them to me when I need them. And so, completely in charge, I need them very little it turns out.
