Wednesday – 04 August 2010
Middle of the week.
Comics and Sushi Wednesday.
Hopefully, it will be quiet, compared to the last two days.

I found out yesterday that another friend – a former coworker from the USPS – had died on Monday night. I really wasn’t kidding when I said that I’m tired of having so many friends die.

Last night was relatively low-key. The highlights included yard work and watching a recorded episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.

Workout
Aside from mowing the yard, yesterday’s workout only consisted of walking: 5,069 steps
