Mark the date and time

Yes, mark the day. My streak has come to an end. Yes, in a stunning
development, Reagan uttered her first and sure as heck not her last, "
I hate you".

Really, it he been a long time coming. Judging from every one else on
the planet that knows me, i usually deserve that comment much sooner
than 10 years. Heck it usually doesn't take 10 minutes before I get an
"I hate you" remark.

In other news, I am three days soda sober. Yes, I have quit the black
gold (street name) cold turkey. My addiction peaked recently thanks
to a mini fridge in my office. I was up to about 7 cans a day.
Pretty embarrassing, I was hiding cans from Mel and the kids.

So I joined a program. I am taking it one day at a time. And before
you jump to any conclusions that I am mocking any other program, know
that my soda addiction has hurt people.

Take the poor wait staff at Chilie restaurant. They spend more time
bringing me refills than they do smoking by the back door. And all
those refills didn't do anything for anyones profit margin.

I'll close with this: which came first: obese Americans or diet coke?
It is a conspiracy man.

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
