It's all good so far

It has been a while. This is the first entry with the iPad. Took the opportunity to do an upgrade for the IPad 3 with Retina Display and more memory. It is much quicker and cleaner than the 2.0 but the wifi seems quirkier. I can see a repeater in every bookcase in every room or a move to the apple wireless router in the future.

The iTunes Store just doesn’t move quickly on downloads even when the MacBook is plugged into the current modem with the thunderbolt to adapter. Not first world problems, more like first world irritant.

Things are going well. Job feedback has been very good and progress is getting made. There are still some starts and stops, and the hurry up and waits, with the occasional – we probably need to be doing that – why don’t you take care of its.

There are new explorations into excel functions as I try to achieve an if this drop down is selected, then a specific value is sought, found, and entered. This has the old dog scanning the net for new tricks. It is a good challenge.

Survive the stress test, and the cardiologist said that things were functioning the way the should. Just that with the weight the risk remains. I have been able to get more exercise in. I am not just carrying the work out gear as I travel, I am using it. The gap is during the weekend. I need to think long and hard about buying a home treadmill.

Diet discipline is always going to be a challenge. I found calorie acceptable lunch dining near the office. I do need to fight the free snacks offered in the break room. Food on the road will depend on location and time. It will be a long term battle. The goal is to have myself in the shape I want to be in before I retire. The timeframe is shorter now that I am halfway through my 50’s.
