A few things

It's been a few weeks since I've posted anything. It's not that I haven't had anything to share, but I've been spending my extra time getting back on the exercise wagon. I'd essentially fallen of the wagon, so to speak, toward the end of last year and it took a couple visits to the doctor to get me back on track.

1). I had picked up a cold back in December so I visited my doctor just to make sure. While there he saw that my blood pressure was higher than it should and said that this had been something he had noticed for the better part of a year. I had attributed my high bp in December to not having done much of any exercising in the previous month or so. But why did I stop working out to begin with? I really do not know. Perhaps it had to do with my aunt's passing in October or maybe letting the eye rolling I'd get everytime I'd go workout get the better of me. Either way, I'm on medication now and have gotten back into the exercising groove of things. There's nothing better than waking up sore the morning after a good workout.

If you've got some iffy health issues going on, please go get yourself checked out and be proactive about it. Talk to your friends and family and go from there.

2). Actor Heath Ledger passed away quite unexpectedly today. It is a tremendous shock to any movie fan. I've only seen a few of his movies, although none of his newer flicks, but I do know that we've lost a great actor and person. Please say a little prayer for him and his family. It is certainly a sad day for us all.

3). Hopefully the Dallas Cowboys have a better year next year. To be honest with you, I did not think they'd be this "good" this year. I thought they'd be 10-6 or even 11-5, but not the 13-3 the pulled off this regular season. Knowing how well they did this, however, I'm expecting them to do alot more than to have a great regular season, and get to the playoffs. Nothing short of making it to the Super Bowl next year will be unacceptable. Good thing that Jerry Jones re-signed Jason Garrett. They'd go nowhere without him into the future. Now if Tony Romo could find himself an honest, likeable, no-name girlfriend...
