What’s up world? I’m not going to write a post about why I haven’t written but I will fill you in what’s going on.

My new job is great. My co-workers are all enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I learn something every day and I enjoy the interactions with the customers. The leadership is encouraging and available.

I love this hot weather. I love to go outside for an hour and just lay there. I’m going with Dr. Mercola on this one. He says exposure to sunlight is good and is the best source of vitamin D. Of course you can get overexposed and that’s bad.

Thinking about going on high protein days for a while. This is a diet I learned as a personal trainer. By limiting your carbohydrate intake you force the body to use fat as an energy source. I did it 3 years ago and it does work but it’s not easy. As someone who loves carbs it requires some discipline but the results speak for themselves.

I’ve jammed a few times with @85lives, playing drums. His music is a mixture of noise rock, garage band and punk.

Morning Lights recorded some new demos. We set up and recorded at MR’s place in Peoplestown. It sounds good for a 001.

Small group is going well. This is the most diverse small group I’ve been in and every guy is enthusiastic about the group. It’s a big commitment but the group helps me stay on track.

My heart hurt when I heard about Michael Jackson. His life was tragic. He never truly got to live his own life. Sure he loved performing and making music but he was robbed of his childhood. I remember when I was 11 everyone had Thriller. Everyone knew all the songs, all the words, all the dance moves. Jackson truly was like Elvis. I’m not sure we can even have another star that big again.

And lastly I’m dating again. There are some strong contenders right now. I’m excited to see what will happen. That’s all I’ll say for now.

Hope you’re all well.
