There is a huge US Navy supply ship sitting in front of my window.

day 21 of my home workout plan.

Another day of scanning and digitizing old paper files coming up.

Back from my swim. Drinking a delicious chamomile? tea

20th day of rigorous home exercise. Yay!

Am I in Beijing? Actually it's just San Francisco fog.

Just back from barbecue at cousin Cynthia's house in San Rafael. Very Marin. Very nice.

Performed my new rigorous home workout program for the 19th time this morning. Adding to the punishment? There are jackhammers on Saturday!

Just listened to a half of Barack Obama's speech in Berlin. Very statesmanlike.

Today is Tall Ships Day. I see five from my window right now.

Attending an IDSA conference on sustainable design @ Temple - hot new joint on Howard St.

Fog is burning off. Flock of pelicans just flew by. Children at summer camp next to my building just let out a cheer. Happy San Francisco.

drinking a glass of Portuguese red wine at winebarsf.com.

went to Mill Valley to get more boxes from storage. Also stopped by to see Nancy Hayes. Now eating dinner.

Exercised, showered, shaved and washed the dishes. Now, at last, I can do something

here i am

sitting at winebarsf. it's been terrible. nothing has been saving - even locally. yikes!

well, at last, something is working: blogger.com. even google docs offline was not working.

so here i am on blogger. there is no control S. and I have to scroll down to save. thren go to the manager and then come back. wordpress.com is much friendlier. but then again, this is working.

takes your choices.


so i was meant to be writing for artofthenet - on internet bios - biornet -
interbio - webio - autowebio - webiography << yes that's the one!


***
back in blogger after WP

does this autosave? not sure. difficult to comparewith wordpress. the big disappointment is google docs. couldn't work offline on my Eee PC for reasons i do not understand.

this cannot save on a control S. Hello what are you supposed to do?

tags but no categories here. lot's of small diffs. which is better. blogger or wordpress. very not easy.

both WP and Blogger versions saved. three glasses of wine. time to go home.

Le Quatorze Juillet! Vive La France!

Sundaying quietly at home. Morning exercises done. Reading the news half-way done. Soon it'll be time to define what this day will be about.

Eating a vegetables with pasta sauce lunch - having exercised, blogged and scanned old data. Yay!

Home Exercises

I'm writing this while sitting at my desk - sweating. OK, it is fairly hot in here. Thermometer says 77 F /25 C degrees. But really I'm sweating because of forty five minutes of exercising quite hard. This is the eighth time I have subjugated myself to a home exercise program. I am over one quarter of the way to 28 days of home exercise. People say that if you do something for 28 days then it becomes a habit. What started as a resolution becomes routine. Twenty eight days is sort of a month with a few times missing. Not perfect but doable. Anyway who decided on the 28 days (or one month as other say) anyway?  Got to look that up.

There are several reasons for home exercise rather than classes  - such as the Pilates classes that I have been taking  at my Golden Gateway Tennis and Swim Club since 2001. First is that I can't seem to make my classes travel to France and elsewhere with me. I can't do classes in San Francisco and home exercise while I'm on the road. At least I have not been able to do this in the past. Even with the best of intentions, my home exercising on the road has only lasted for one or two rather desultory sessions. My hope is that I will soon be so acclimated to my home exercises that It will naturally follow that I continue the routine while traveling. Knock on wood.

I'm out of the stuck elevator. After a while the doorlock released and I was able to pull open year door. I'm on tram on way home.

Stuck in an elevator at UCSF. A lady said she would call for help.

Somebody thinks my eyes are pretty. My eye doctor wants to take pictures of them. Going to his office.

Going home after long dinner. Diana said 7 to me and 8 to Ken. Anyway venison chili was delicious.

Going for dinner at Big Four with Diana and Ken.

Going for a cup of coffee at MoMo's with Philip and Helen.

Three things I'd like to see

1. De-criminalize drug usage

2. Re-purpose the military

3. Fix education and health???

3. More power to the States.

What are the very biggest over-arching objectives for the future?

encourage more smaller companies. family companies like in China? break up the military industrial complex.

Fog is rolling in - very dense. Time to do my laundry.
