Friday update

Since arriving home from Boca it's been a pretty quiet couple of days other than catching up on paperwork and getting a well deserved massage. The weather has been typical fall weather and the leaves have been coming down with a vengeance. It looks like crap until the gardeners clean it all up.

On a health update, I will just have to get used to sounding slightly asthmatic at times. The breathing, for the most part, is fine. I just seem to get winded pretty easily. I guess I'm out of shape because I have not done any cardio the past eight months. I have started doing some weight exercises for my arms and legs and sit-ups for my newly acquired 1 pack. No, not 6 pack abs yet! My weight is improving daily. 148 lbs. I just need to make sure I can level it off soon. My appetite is still great so what do I do? Go on diet. Not hardly.

Carpe Diem.

Back home

Tuesday morning my mom and I went to visit (pay our respects) to my late dad. Gabe passed away in February 2002 and we all still miss him terribly. It's always a little unsettling seeing his headstone with his name on it. I guess it brings it all into reality for me to see his name there!

On the way home I had to make one last stop at Jumba Juice for my Acai supercharger. It's only 400 calories! Darn, I wish they had one here in Baltimore.

After bribing him with more Oxtail, Ilan took me to the airport for my flight home. I had a really cool couple of days in Boca with all the friends and family and I had a particularly nice time with my mom. She really is an amazing woman surrounded by so many good friends and close family. Oh, and the weather was fantastic as well.

Carpe Diem.

More house hunting

Monday morning I went out house hunting again with Fred. We looked at a couple of other properties but nothing "jumped" out at me. We then went back to see the two homes I liked from the previous outing. I still like them. I will catch Diana up with all the information when I get back to Baltimore.

In the evening cousin Martin (Cuz) and I went to a fantastic steakhouse for dinner and boy, did we dine. Cuz is a regular blog reader and was amazed at the food Chef Mike was making for us here in Baltimore, but he was somewhat dismayed that I never seemed to mention steak. So of course I had to order a really nice steak. Not him. He did the crab and lobster. We washed all this down with a couple of Cappuccinos and a mixed berry dessert. It was a lot of fun.

Carpe Diem.
