(Almost) Daily Ramblings #85

What I’m Listening To: "Smile" sung by Nat "King" Cole

Accomplishment of the Week: I went home for lunch yesterday, grabbed my bike, and rode to work. Going to work wasn’t too hard, five miles in 20 minutes. But what I failed to realize was how hilly 146th Street is, going home was a pain in the butt. I don’t think I’ll ride to work again. Ha ha!

Where I’m At With My Weight Loss: I weighed in this morning at 201.5. I’m just trying to be patient, but I’m doing well.

What I’m Looking Forward To: Before the weekend? I’ll get to see my mom tomorrow when she flies into town. This weekend is going to be pretty busy, but I’m looking forward to it. Indy Hamfest (ham radio, nerdy stuff) on Saturday morning, my niece’s birthday party in the afternoon, and Dave Barnes concert that night!

Picture of the Day: I just found this randomly. After visiting the National Museum of the United States Air Force, it only seems appropriate.

Quote of the Day: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
