Everybody's Doin' It....
Everybody's doin' it
Doin' it
Doin' it
Pickin' their nose
and chewin' it
Chewin 'it
So, if everybody's "doin' it" I guess I have to get on the blog bandwagon to remain hip and/or cool.
The tragedy, as I see it, is that if this blog is a failure, any evidence of my hipness and/or coolness factor will totally disappear.
Undaunted, I am willing to risk it. Heck what do I have to lose? You don't really know me yet.
Who am I?
I'm a white, 55 year old male, living in Southern California with my white, 55 year old wife. I'm still working, but actively counting the days until retirement. I work for a municipal government as a computer guru. (Guru -- I like that title. . .I made that up for myself!) I had two children, but my oldest son died a dozen years ago of E.coli poisoning at the age of 13. My daughter is 23, and working for "Teach for America" on the East Coast. My wife is a teacher for a local school district, part time. My hobbies include my beloved Miata, which I formerly raced, and four-wheeling in my new truck. I am also a computer/technology addict.
In my old age I've gotten fat. Heck, I thought gaining only two pounds a year since high school was an accomplishment, but now that I've been out of high school for 37 years, having an extra 75 pounds around my belly (and face and everywhere else) is slowing me down.
A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes, and now add to that high cholesterol and high blood pressure, topped of with a severe case of sleep apnea and monster snoring. This Thanksgiving (as I write this only a couple of days ago) I started using a CPAP machine, to eliminate my snoring and allow me to breathe and sleep throughout the night. Although the machine and it's associated mask makes me look like Hannibal Lecter, I believe that this will allow me to get on track again. I was so tired during the day that I would spontaneously fall asleep just about anywhere, anytime. Yeah, I was too tired to exercise.
This blog will then allow me to rant/rave/explain/complain as I continue the rest of my life.
If you're in the same boat as I am, please comment. A dialog with my readers can help us all.
