A lot going on – so here are the pictures from New York with Sydney.

Health: At the advice of my doctor, I checked out Lindora. Like a Weight Watchers or one of those, but much more intense. 10 weeks, lose 40 pounds, do EXACTLY what they say, and come in for progress checks EVERY day. Not for me.

So I went to LA Fitness and signed on with a personal trainer. Been twice, and twice on my own – going to work out great. I should be a ripped, STUD of a man within a few months, which will make my doctor happy, and probably my girlfriend even happier.

How am I going to have time for all of this? I am leaving my job! Going to get my own thing rolling now – something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and am finally making it happen. I’ve seen enough in business to know that I am more than smart and motivated enough to make this work. Exciting.

For Sydney’s Easter vacation (and another remarkably good report card), I decided to cash in a couple of award tickets and take her to New York. Her first time. Very exciting.

Staying at The Regency Hotel – just fantastic. Room is big (if not a tad pricey – but hey – it is on Park Ave.), close to everything, and service is unreal. She got a Barbie when we checked in, a bag of kids stuff in the room when we got back to ther room after dinner, and more free stuff at dinner the next night. They even opened up the Sundries Store at 8pm just for us. Thumbs Up.

More as I have time to post.
