Ch.. Ch.. Ch.. Changes

So as I look around me and my friends that are having health issues,
I feel lucky that I'm healthy for the most part. In the last 2 weeks
two of my good friends have health problems that I would never want
to deal with.

I had blood test that came back this week, prompting a Doctor's visit.
Something you dread hearing from the receptionist... "The doctor would
like you to come in".No thanks - if it's good news, just tell me over
the phone.

So I went in yesterday and he told me that I am bordering on High Sugar
and Cholesterol meaning that I need to cut back on both. Meaning that
starting today, I gave up coffee. Anyone that knows me, knows I like
my coffee with my sugar.I will be also trying to cut down my soda and
snacks (candies and such).As far as the FAT, I am working on a more
healthy diet - trying to limit my trips to La Posta.

I'm at the heaviest I have been in my life so that is depressing, but with
a healthy regiment that should change. I need to work harder at the gym
and my exercise.

Looking down the barrel of 39 (a couple weeks away) and I figure I have
a few more left in the tank, so I might as well take care of what I got.

Contra-Band

Vampire Weekend posted that their new album will be called CONTRA

The East Coast in the fall is supposed to be awesome.

We will also be there during the baseball playoffs, football season and
looking at the start of Basketball & Hockey. Boston is such a great sports
town, I'm sure the city will be electric.

Add in great food and shopping... the trip should be...
wait for it... EPIC!

I've been at my job for a year now (which I can't believe) but
it's been really good. Here's yo another prosperous and fulfilling year.
