Back in the saddle again. And with XP. Got a hopped up new computer at work, a geek’s equivalent of a V-8 hemi with twin superchargers and a full bottle of nitrous. Numbers crunch and fall before it like soldiers in front of Lord Sauron. The only drawback? The machine is still only as fast as the network it’s hooked into. I wrote this paragraph, with editing, during the wait time for a single network window to open. Time to call the IT department and ask them to shovel more coal into the server’s boilers.

Outside of that, things are going well. My workload is lightening up, maybe a little too light. You know you need work when you start to ponder the best way to remove the dust that forms on the side of your keyboard keys.

I managed to keep active at the gym and it’s starting to show benefits. The bread dough stomach has the faintest hint of definition, something I haven’t seen since crew team in college. The arms are getting those deep creases in between the muscles and the bone that makes even me hot for me. I feel like a champion prizefighter. I know I still have a load of work but I can at least go down to the beach this summer without those bastards from Greenpeace trying to roll me back into the ocean.

More soon. Honest Injun.
