hi.

well, hello. i thought i would write a quick entry with, like, actual sentences.

i was talking to mom on the phone yesterday when i drove over a small piece of wood in the center of the lane. no way to avoid it, really. mom says, "i hope you didn't run over a nail." hhhmmm, interesting. this morning, i left the house only to get one block away with a flat rear tire. would you believe that i considered driving over to mom's house on the rim?

i wanted to go to mom's place because i am obsessed with two things there: lucy, as we all know, and the exercise bike. i have been riding it 12-13 miles per day about four times a week. i have been eating relatively well, drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water every day, and refraining from extreme slacker-osity. i have been incorporating food & drink i don't especially enjoy just for the health factor, too: oatmeal, green tea and pomegranate juice.

april is a busy month for me. school ends in about five weeks, i need to register for summer classes (i think i am taking only math, which will fill up 10 hours of class time per week), easter and travel for work. i am headed to lubbock, texas, somewhere in kentucky, and grass valley.

please let me know if you'd like any jelly beans. eric and i went to the jelly belly factory on saturday and decided that buying five 2lb. bags of belly flops would be a good idea.
