I am trying to find something to write about and am drawing blanks. My mind is preoccupied with many things at the moment, but nothing that really stands out. I have talked about my new love of poker, my ongoing interest in photography, my addiction to buy books, and a whole host of other interests that are likely only important to me and not to anyone else on the internets. I could rant about the current state of politics but there are plenty of people out there that do it better than me both from a comedic point of view and from the serious angle. So given that everything has been done, what else is left more me to say? I can't think of anything. Therefore, it is now time to turn over the subject to you. Yes, I am looking at you. Got a question for me? Now's the time. I can't guarantee I will answer it but there is a really good chance I will. Basically I am fishing for ideas here folks so bring them on.
One final note and this one is actually political. The current campaign has got me soured on the state of American leadership. I feel like Vizzini from The Princess Bride. In the battle of wits with the Dread Pirate Roberts, Vizzini must chose between two cups that have been poisoned by Roberts. It is up to Vizzini to figure out the best choice between two potentially deadly cups.
What Vizzini didn't know is that both cups were poisoned so either choice would end in his death and in a very War Games moment the only correct choice would have been not to play. This election is very much the same. Both choices will result in bad outcomes and the only correct choice to not to elect either person. Of course the large majority of the voting public is either unable or unwilling to reject the current two party system and find a true leader and thus willingly drinks the poison.
Anyway, got anything exciting to talk about?

Well, I for one like hearing about your workouts and your progress there - what you've been doing and such.
Well, on Monday I beat my 30 minute record again so that is encouraging. I am creeping up on that 3 miles in a half hour mark that is my current goal. Strength training is on track and I am going up on total weight lifted each week. I am more sore today than I should be for a Wednesday but maybe that is because I really pushed myself Monday.
