Steak & Eggs

I salted & peppered a steak (both sides) and let it sit for about 90 minutes. I scrambled 3 eggs (salt, pepper, a little 1% milk, in a slightly-buttered nonstick pan). I sliced up a tomato. I buttered 2 slices of bread. I filled a pint glass with ice water, and a smaller glass with the last of my orange juice. I cooked the steak medium-well.

Time to get serious.

'Nuff said.

Cheeseburger Madness

I never cook cheeseburgers at home. It's too much work to feed just one person, and all of the grease, smoke, etc... make it an unappealing endeavor 364 days of the year.

Today I used 93% lean ground beef with salt & pepper between butter-grilled slices of Vermont Bread Company whole wheat bread (no high fructose corn syrup!), added aged cheddar, sliced tomatoes, pickles and a spreading of mayo. It may not be pretty, but I wound up eating the best cheeseburger I've had in ages:

March Method

This weekend I am gearing up toward a solid routine beginning on Monday.

I've been working out on a regular basis since early November, and drawing as much as possible. Now it's time to do even more. I am going to draw and/or write every day. I am going to sit down and figure out the second half of my life. And I am going back on the South Beach diet.

I have the exercise down (my arms and shoulders are more solid than they have ever been), and when it gets warm out the hikes and other outdoor activities will ramp it up even more, but the caloric intake needs to be regulated, and with the help of South Beach (again), reset. The next two weeks will contain NONE of the following: sugar, fruits, grains, alcohol (no biggie), ice cream, ½&½, or fancy (fatty) meats.

My biggest dream is to design (and have built) a house. I just need to figure out the most efficient way to make it happen.

P.S: Here are the last 2 days' drawings:

Yeah, this guy again...

Wyman's Pond Music Fest 5

Sigh...

The snow, the dearth of quality job leads, and the lack of physical/social activity are combining to keep a big swirling cloud of boredom (and lack of purpose) floating over my head.

Granted, I have the ongoing Wyman's Pond Music Fest planning and arranging, but that doesn't keep me busy or fill my bank account.

We are supposed to get 3 or 4 days of 40's - 50's weather (including lots of rain) beginning tomorrow. Hopefully this will get spring jump started, and allow for more outdoor and long distance activity.

Re-Fun'

I woke up today to my federal tax refund in my bank account!

I paid a couple of big bills and a couple of small bills, and filled my refrigerator before tomorrow's Winter Storm Pax.

I also spent some money on myself:

• I bought a pair of shoes.
• I had Chinese food for lunch (SO good, but I got a headache for my troubles. Apparently eating right for a few weeks makes the 'bad' food really bad).
• I bought a ton of comics.

It's been a good day...
