Friday Music Day: 3/8/13
I did a full iPod purge last night. Cleaned it full off and started a new list from scratch of what I wanted. Although much of that was good stuff, I needed some different good stuff, y'know? I'd guess that the iPod has 90% new content (vs yesterday).

WGOM Fitness: 6 March 2013, Noticing
Over the weekend the first person besides myself and my wife noticed I'd lost some weight. It was my sister-in-law, and she sees us with probably just the right amount of frequency that she'd pick up on a little loss. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 6 March 2013, Noticing
