With just three weeks to go until I retire, it’s getting harder and harder to be there. I just need to power through and get through this month.

I got some good work in today. I increased the speed and angle of the treadmill as I went along.

Now to get settled in. My son and his girlfriend are coming over for the Super Bowl. I’m going to try to avoid any real food until then. Go Hawks!

I need to work off my Super Bowl weight. We had a great night, as the Seahawks won, so it was worth it.

How tacky is “you stayed awake for it?”

It was my kind of football. Old school defense and running the ball.

What’s wierd about that game is the lack of discussion afterwards. For years it seems like that’s all one would hear in gym day after.

You don’t live in Washington State. It’s a pretty big deal here.

Today is my 55th birthday. My wife and I were just discussing last night, our parents seemed really old when they were 55. I feel like I am just getting started.

I only have nine more working days until retirement. I feel lucky to retire at such a young age. There were many nights and many dangerous situations where I might have thought I would never last this long. I feel blessed to be able to make it out alive. I have known several friends who didn’t.
