The days are getting longer and the roads are dry (no precipitation for the past 8 days&#8211;amazing!). I only went 3 miles today (1 &#8211; 1 1\/2 3 times during the week) because I&#8217;m so out of shape, but boy it felt good.<\/li>\n<li>I <em>think<\/em> I&#8217;ve discovered the key to making the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flylady.net\">FlyLady<\/a> system work for me: it&#8217;s the after-work routine. Just 3 steps: sort the mail, declutter for 15 minutes, then tea\/toast\/Buffy (I just got the first 4 seasons on DVD) until Jonathan gets home. &#8220;You can do anything for 15 minutes!&#8221; (J, trying to encourage me, accidentally said &#8220;You can do anything IN 15 minutes.&#8221; Ha! I wish!) It&#8217;s really been helping so far. Oh, and I tidy the kitchen while making the tea and toast.<\/li>\n<li>I was just about to buy a new Dell but I missed the free-flat-panel monitor offer so postponed again. My main hesitation was the royal pain of moving all my documents off this one (which is now 5 years old). And holding up my monitor is my old Macintosh Performa&#8211;full of documents I still hadn&#8217;t moved off! But with J&#8217;s help I made some inroads this weekend. After I&#8217;ve finally ditched it (hey, if anyone wants a Performa 6220CD just for the cost of shipping, let me know!), then I can think about a new Dell again.<\/li>\n<li>On the Mac I found an old project: Jonathan&#8217;s single-panel cartoon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salticid.com\/for_wp\/stgenx.pdf\">Star Trek Generation X<\/a>. He drew it in 1995 (or maybe earlier), so it&#8217;s maybe dated now, but I still think it&#8217;s hysterically funny. I had scanned it but was unable to get it into web-friendly form that would fit on a screen and be legible, so it&#8217;s been on my Mac&#8217;s hard drive since about 1998. J suggested trying a PDF, and bingo: only 33 K and it looks passable. Googling &#8220;Star Trek Generation X&#8221; reveals that others have had the same idea (presumably after he did), but IMO his is much funnier and pithier. So <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salticid.com\/for_wp\/stgenx.pdf\">click here<\/a> to see classic Trek and classic grunge together at last.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started running again this week!
