A new attempt to blog


Since I am unemployed now, and spend all my time looking for work, I am going to try to spend 10 minutes a day (5 minutes?) doing some chroniclin'. That's like cipherin', only in writin'. (Beverly Hillbillies, anybody?).

Anyway, this morning started typically with a CampGladiator (CG) workout. This is 'Functional Week', aka 'Sore Week', because we use a lot of the non-traditional (?) muscles, so they get a little sore. For this session (4 weeks/session) of CG, we also were put into groups, and we were asked to set at least one goal for this session. I actually set two goals - go to 4 CG workouts/wk, and read two books - Boomerang by Michael Lewis (reviewed in a later post), and Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall (which I will also review).
I love Camp Gladiator - it is the perfect alternative to running - I am a 'social exerciser', and the group dynamic really keeps me motivated. Running bores me terribly, but I will probably pick it up again - when I'm employed, and can afford to join a running group.
The workout group photo posted is from a CG workout on an incredibly hot day last year - the medicine ball work was some of the easier stuff we did that day.
The rest of today is filled with job-hunting, and some researching of technical stuff I have to bone up on for some of these positions I am applying for.
Finally, tonight I am refereeing a girl's 9th grade basketball game at Lake Travis high school. I have not heard from my co-official, so I hope he shows up. One game tonight. Shouldn't be too difficult.
It's hard to find non-geeky referee photos on the web - the one posted is the best I could do so far.


The mechanics are not great - we're not supposed to point using fingers (yes, I do that sometime). But, I'm buyin' whatever call he is sellin'. I'm guessing offensive foul.
