I am going to have a son!!!! Jennifer was sure this one was going to be a girl but today at the ultrasound it was pretty clear that this one was going to be a boy. The Neandrathal in me started to kick in on the way to work. I am now passing the Turetzky gene pool on for another generation! w00t

The gym was much more crowded today. I guess some people got on the scale for the first time after Thanksgiving and are trying to fight the holiday bulge. Walker was playing Indian today it was funny. Man the Chuck Norris is quite the actor!

Today is the pot-luck lunch at work. I chose to let the fine people at Tom's Parkway Foods bake me some cookies to bring. Apparently I was not the only one as the woman at the checkout lane said I was the third person from ISU to stop by.

The gym was mostly empty again this morning. It kind of strange. I guess it must be the holiday season and everyone is getting out of dodge. I expect there to be a surge after the new year. I forgot my work keys and had to run home after the gym and barely made it here in time this morning.

I went to Fry's Electronics this weekend and got some cool new books this weekend. I got the NUnit pocket reference, Test Driven Development in Microsoft .NET, and Mono: A Developers Handbook. They are pretty good. The developer's handbook has some goog info on creating GTK# apps. I believe there are some good wrappers out there too that will help in porting to Windows as well for good cross platform development. The test driven development book is also pretty good. It written by one of the developers of NUnit and has some good insights and so far great examples. Definitely good buys.

Feeling the Burn this Morning. First day back in the gym and I feel pretty good. The gym was an absolute ghost town today. It was kind of eerie. It was very horror movie like being the only one in the locker room this morning. Of course Jennifer will be happy that no one was able to see my fluffy pink towel

I haven't been to the gym for a week. The Sunday after Thanksgiving I got sick and had to take a day off work. I had planned to go this morning but did not sleep very well last night and decided to wait til this morning.

I just thought I would write something to document that I now have NAnt and Draco working happily together. So now when I do a commit in cvs Draco will see it and build my project and email me with the results of the build. Its really pretty sweet.

I seem to have picked up a T-Giving pound a day early this year. Any way I did 30 Minutes at level 3 on the Bike today. If I decide to go on friday I may try the eliptical and see how that goes. Although I may be in a turkey coma on friday. mmmmmmmmmmmmm turkeyyyyyyy aaarrrghghgh

The Bean is not feeling well at all today and I hope that she feels better soon. There is possibly no more helpless feeling than having a sick child who is unable to tell you what is wrong. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Got to the gym a little late today but still did 30 minutes on the bike. Tommorrow I am going to step it up to level 2 on the bike. I didn't workup much of a sweat today. The juice bar was open so I got a shake this morning. It was called "Get you peanuts here!" It had peanut butter and chocolate and "Burner Protein". I'm on fire baby.

I seem to have picked up an extra pound. I did 30 minutes on the bike today. I didn't work up as much of a sweat today. I think Monday I will step it up to level 2 or 3 to see what effect that has. I am anticipating a slight weight gain next week with the holidays and all. The current goal is to start using the elipticals in three weeks. I am getting used to working out more and I think that the switch will bring some good gains in the workouts.

So I got up late this morning and only did 20 minutes on the bike. To make up for it I used level 2 and still worked up a pretty good sweat. It was after 7:00 when I was leaving so I thought I would sample the shake offerings from the nifty juice/shake bar. It is supposed to open at 7:00. This is the second time I have attempted to purchase a shake. Sadly, I was shot down again today. No one home at the juice bar. Oh well.

Edit
W00t I know have emacs-tramp working on my work machine so I can edit these files a bit easier :)
