One year ago today I started to chart my weight with my first weigh in being 240-pounds with the hopes of losing 40-pounds in 4 months before my 40th birthday. That didn’t happen. I then moved the goal back until the end of the calendar year. That also didn’t happen. I then decided to move it back to one full year, and that still didn’t happen. The closest I got was within nine-and-a-half pounds, and I’m just a few pounds over that today. The bad, I didn’t reach my goal(s). The good, I’ve made progress, and I’ll see where I’ll go from here.
I wrapped up the latest season of ‘House of Cards’ and while there are a few things you just have to accept to be entertained, it was a pretty solid season and better than the last. To my surprise, I saw the new season of ‘Daredevil’ dropped and started watching that right away. It was the first time in a long time I stayed up past 3:00 AM on purpose.
The second season of ‘Daredevil’ seems to be a bit slower than the first, but it may just be me because I really liked seeing how the character became to be and now we’re past that phase.
Meet the Forrest Gump of South Beach – Every day for the last 41 years — rain, shine or hurricane — the Raven has run at least 8 sandy miles along Miami’s South Beach.
This LA Times article mentions a business in which doctors make housecalls and some of story takes part in Dallas. It states it will cost $199 for a doctor to show up at your door in Dallas.
I haven't given up on the new Indy film yet. If they keep Lucas away from it, or at least away from the story, it stands a better chance than The Film Which Shall Not Be Named.
One of the benefits offered by my wife's employer is a "Tele-Doc" service, that essentially allows you to phone or even Skype with a doctor rather than going to urgent care (or worse, the emergency room) for minor illnesses that occur after hours. We used it several weeks ago when my son started running a fever with a sore throat on a Saturday afternoon. Rather than go to urgent care, sit in a waiting room with other sick people, and pay an inflated copay, we simply placed an online request and received a phone call from a doctor within 10 minutes. After some questions and discussion of his symptoms and medical history, the doctor called in an antibiotic, and he was good to go. He never had to get out of his pajamas, and we had zero out-of-pocket expense. Of course, there are limitations – they're not going to write you a prescription for Percocet over the phone – but for minor issues, it was fantastic.
The inspiration/process of composers fascinates me. I'm definitely saving that for a listen later.
The photos of River Country aren't necessarily creepy. But what's creepy is that it sits within a few dozen feet of bustling activity, so the speakers are all still turned on. Which means: that omnipresent background music that Disney uses to set a mood everywhere you go? It's still playing, but there's no one there to hear it…
What IS creepy, though, is the abandoned Discovery Island at WDW. It was a wildlife habitat that eventually closed when Disney's Animal Kingdom opened. Some intrepid explorers have gone over there, which is enormously risky, as you can only reach it by boat (or swimming) in waters that are not exactly free of snakes and gators. Here are some pictures from the only story I've seen where someone was willing to talk about it: http://shaneperez.blogspot.com/2009/12/discovery-…
Keep it up!
