a new regime

Today I got started learning a new training regime that I paid the fitness director at our club to concoct. These are words I like: regime and concoct.

I'm a little scared of the free weights he has me use. I feel uneasy about this new way of doing things. But I like the things he is trying to work on: posture, old joints, flexibility.

Our handyman (and his wife/assistant) come by and fix some places on the roof and put other things to do on the always open list. House=money for maintenance. Ever it shall be.

Forrest and I had lunch today with the proprietor of 34th Street Cafe. We had some sandwiches and salads that he would serve in a box lunch. He wants to sell more box lunches. Times are hard for everyone. It's hard to see how independent cafes and caterers serving fresh food survive. It's a tribute to our buddy Eddie that he does. However, he has already gotten someone to do his WEB page and they aren't adding any content. Eddie will later tell me that only food stylists can take satisfactory pictures of food. These things are standing in the way of the cheap marketing he needs to do, in my opinion. But the food is great.

For dinner I have some of that sandwich, left over, some salad, some wine. We watch Boston Public, Third Watch and Crossing Jordan. Then I got in bed and channel flipped. TV is overrated, is it not? Still, I can't abide the people who proudly tell me that they never watch it. I don't know why. It just seems as if they think not watching TV is some kind of solution. I like active solutions. I don't mind if people say they've decided to (fill in the blank) walk, meditate, masturbate, go to the gym for hours a day. Do something. Not watching TV is an interesting fact about you but not a badge of honor, it makes you nothing. What you do instead, that's different. Personally, I watch too much TV!

"On several occasions I have actually read parts of my diary aloud to someone. But too much 'publicity' is destructive to a diary, because the diarist begins, unconsciously perhaps, to leave out, to tone down, to pep up, to falsify experience, and the reason for the undertaking becomes buried beneath posings."
