Well, I'm finally posting news - I guess I'm H's 'almost everyone!'

I've been running home from work 2 days a week now. That's 46 blocks north and about 6 1/2 avenues west. I run through Central Park, and it's nice that I can take so many different routes if I get bored. I could go all the way up Park Avenue to 96th and then go west, or across town to Times Square and then up Broadway. (Or anything in between!)
I'm still in the early 'run until you get tired, then walk for a little bit' phase, but I should be running all the way home soon.
I'm also eating a lot of the Raisin Bran / Cheerios for my meals, and all of it is starting to have a positive effect - I'm starting to slim down a bit.

JP - don't get burned out on the translation part of the job - try to mix it up as much as you can. In the EvE game, I'm trying to make money in the lawless, dangerous, parts of the game, and it is fun! Still learning though - I got blown up again last night (by NPCs) and last week was blown up and 'podded' by another player - complete death and had to activate a clone... But I knew the risks and therefore the cost was minimal. When you join up, I can get you some sweet ships, and a nice chunk of start-up money - it really makes the early days in the game easier if you have some cash in your account. A veteran player gave me a nice chunk of cash, and some ships, this week.

Dad - maybe you should talk to some of your old Navy colleagues. Most people mature with age, and maybe you could start a new friendship with someone you worked with 40 years ago....

Will post more, soon!
