As a reward to myself for passing the Series 7 test, I have purchased a small blue i-Pod Mini with a cozy four gigabytes of space for my songs. Since my hundreds of CDs convert to about 85.43 GB of music on my home server’s hard drive, I cannot fit all of my collection onto an i-Pod, let alone an i-Pod mini. I do feel a bit frustrated that one week after I purchased the Mini, I saw an I-Pod 10 GB model available for the same price, $199, at Microcomputer Center, the ultimate toy store for technophiles. Grrr…
But now that I have the i-Pod, a dock, and a nifty armband carrying case… I have to start exercising. That one condition seemed to be self-justified when I made the purchase. With spring returning this weekend, I am ready to hit the local track. I doubt I can work out in the mornings, though. I just hate awaking to the prospect of a long run… especially when I haven’t slept sufficiently. So nightly jogging appears to be in my future.
The client associates at our office have a betting pool about who will lose the most weight, and I have joined in the competition. The deadline has been extended to May 11, although one lady has lost twelve pounds! My work is cut out for me. Of course, since this blog started, I have gained about twelve pounds (and as many as seventeen.) With the big Series 7 test having past, I can focus on this project.
Coming soon… a post about the effect of orthodontic work on one’s appetite.
