NaNoWriMo

For all my friends who are participating in this year's National Novel Writing Month: W00t! Keep up the great work. You can do it!

Healing Vibes for my Mom

My mom went into the hospital on Sunday for back surgery. So far she's recovering but in pain. Please send healing vibes her way for a speedy recovering. Thanks!

Marrying Friends

Before I forget, I want to post that I married my two friends Ted and Kate on Saturday, October 30th, 2010. W00t! And already booked to marry another couple next May.

How to calculate an (average) American male's ideal weight

105 pounds for first five feet of height, 6 pounds for every inch after. Then add ten percent for large frame. Finally, add ten pounds for being an American ^_^.

Thus, my "ideal" weight at six feet is 204.7 or 205 pounds.

Two Biggest Losers

By sheer coincidence, I got in to a discussion with two different groups -- all guys -- about losin' weight. Now it looks like I'm part of, not one, but two groups aiming to get fit by mid-next year. What am I in for?

Time to put away the Coffee?

Has it been over six months since I've posted anything on The State of the Coffee? Am I that much of a facebook addict? Seems so.

Should I retire State? I'm only half-jesting when I say I spend a lot on facebook. Heck, I have two accounts! Seems everyone's there.

What do y'all think?

Weekend Words

The alarm I set woke us up on Saturday, a rarity. We crawled out of bed, the spouse first, then me, then headed out to the local car dealership to pick up the spouse's car. It now has oil-eating issues; the cheerful car tech informed us that's normal for ten-year old engines in five year old cars. Translation: new car early next year.

PJ Abbey had only one table filled when we arrived. We gorged ourselves on our regular fair of two separate omelet plates raspberry and stuffed raspberry and cream french toast slices. Good thing, too, since we spent the rest of the day at Renfaire and didn't have our next meal until thirteen hours later.

On Sunday, we brunched again at the Circle. However, before stepping into the restaurant, we admired the autos of yesteryear parked in every nook and cranny, staged by the local car enthusiasts group. I waxed and waned about taking pics and writing a blog post or even an article for my sites, but ultimately decided it wasn't appropriate, subject-wise. Afterwards, the spouse and I went our separate ways. Day passed quickly with the Internet and the telly. We dined on fish.

Four cups of coffee.

Flavors for the State of the Coffee

I'm still debating on what to discuss on this blog. Shall I stick to the plan to post my daily activities? Secret (and naughty) thoughts? Reviews? Or biting commentary on the world today.
