Extra calories to be burned.

Yesterday I turned 31 and the ground conditions were lousy (sludge/slush) and there was a threat/promise of rain in the afternoon. My gut told me to stay off the road and I was better off for it. Got treated to a nice Korean Taco lunch and my co-workers had a little ice cream & cake party for me and then I had the dinner I had asked for and then some and then some more desserts so I am still really stuffed from the Sunday night Greek dinner. I have been surrounded by many good and valued people the past couple of months, between holidays, birthdays and work and meetings and I feel very fortunate and good. It slowly dissipates in the next few months, but hopefully I can counteract that.

I worked out hard on Sunday and am still a little sore but it's back to the grind today. It's near 50 degrees and I will run today at the Seaport. The date for the TOBAY was announced yesterday I will likely sign up today.

On the train today I wondered if I am the only male in history to be a folding bike commuter whilst reading Gertrude Stein's Three Lives. Wanted to get a jump on it after seeing Kathy Bates portray her in "Midnight In Paris" and before the 3rd Tom Rob Smith novel comes my way. Thankfully it's broken in to 3 stories (duh) so I can finish just one, depending on the timing and read the Russian cop novel and then back to Stein.

Caught the 813 and it's sunny and warm and breezy and it's truly a wonderful morning. Usually this time of year we are up to our eyeballs in snow so I'm very fortunate for that, too.

Upon exiting Penn on the 33rd &8th side, I got a free sample of EmergenC.

As I got to the building before the WFCs (DeLoitte?), I rec'd a sample of 5-hr Energy. I now have two of these and I've never even sipped one before.

It dawned on me that last week as I passed by the WFC, someone was walking what looked like a wolf.

Results from recent job interview still pending, though positive feedback was rec'd yesterday. I let it get to my head briefly and then let it go. I have about 5 corp jobs in my job cart to help me stick to my resolution.

I made it downtown by 920. Either I'm getting really fast and/or the lights aligned for me or the train got in a few minutes early.

Thank you for reading.
