My Health
Got sick 12 days ago, and am still dealing with some bronchitis as a result. Decided to take this opportunity to dump my previous doctor who hasn’t done anything proactive for me in a LONG time, and switch to a guy in Encino who comes highly recommended. In short, it was a great move. Got a ton of tests, new drugs to take (have had high blood pressure for over a year, which is bad), and have come up with a new plan: get healthy. Sheesh. Been treating my body like an amusement park for so long. Had to end, I suppose.
Current stats: 241 pounds, high BP, high cholesterol, diabetes, blood problems that lend themselves to leg blood clots.
Current meds: Metformin, Glipizide, Actos, Zocor, Diamed, Coumadin
Plan will be to exercise 5x weekly, change diet, walk when golfing, cut down on booze and eliminate tobacco completely. Last one is implemented, the rest are coming very, very soon. Will keep you posted.
Glock me
Got a Glock 34. Needed a 9mm in my collection, so this was the one to get. Got this one off GunBroker, which was my first time buying a gun off the net. Major league pain in the ass. Had to coordinate shipping to an authorized transfer agent, go to the agent to fill out […]
Sydney at Disneyland
Sydney danced again at Disneyland today – just like last year. It was great of course, and she did a great job in a more supporting role. Her Alice role will be her big one this year. 🙂 She got such a spectacular report card this quarter, that I decided to take her to New […]
Sydney = Alice
Meant to post about this before, but only getting to it now. Sydney auditioned at her dance school for a part in “Alice in Wonderland”. It was a general audition, so I was really excited when she got called back for a second, tougher audition. I felt like it was unlikely that she’d get any […]
Flying to Santa Barbara
Pam had a friend in town last night – well, not actually in town, but in Santa Barbara – that she wanted to have dinner with. She suggested that she might drive up there for dinner, which I had to veto – being that it was just such a long drive (1.5 hours+ each way) […]
New car for Kelly
After realizing how completely SCREWED I was going to be on the Mercedes lease I had, decided I needed a new car. Normally I’d have made a good case for leasing a car (if you like to drive new cars every few years) – but when your drive to work one way is over 25 […]
Bowling like a pro
While I and many I know DREAM of playing golf on the PGA Tour, my buddy Craig is actually bowling on the PBA tour this week. Playing in the Dick Weber Open in Fountain Valley, Ca. Very impressive, and very cool to hear his thoughts on playing with the pros. I told him he HAD […]
One HELLUVA party
So – I figured it would be something good, but I just had no idea how great my 40th birthday was going to be. Arrive at golf course at 9:30 for breakfast, to find out that I’m not just playing with my parents, Pam, and Pam’s parents – but there is in fact a golf […]
My Last Week in my 30’s
I turn 40 this Saturday – January 7th, or “Kellsmas” as it is typically known. Parents and Pam are planning some sort of event. I’ve been told nothing other than I am to be at the Encino Golf Course for breakfast Friday morning, and it would be wise to bring my clubs. I also hear […]
Santa brought me an Ipod
Having been in the computer business for nearly 25 (!) years now, you would think I already owned the most popular single gadget in history. Wrong-o. Got my first iPod last night from Sydney and Pammy. The mac-daddy, ultra-huge 60GB model. Went out and got myself a Airplay FM transmitter also – at the suggestion […]
