I am not a morning person. You know this. You know that I am unable to function before 10 am, no matter what time I get up. And you probably already know that morning people are the absolute worst. Their chipper smiles and happy greetings seem to mock your pain as they move about the […]

Tenor Dad’s Workout Journal – Week 1
Wednesday 10:15 AM – Well, it’s done. I published it on my blog. I am going to work out for at least 30 minutes a day for all of Lent. If I don’t do it, then everyone will know. I mean, I could lie about it. These people don’t know if anything I say is […]
Shut the Howl Up
They grit their teeth and bear it for the first few seconds, like most people, but when it doesn’t stop they finally realize they have to say something. Aren’t they in charge after all? “Edward! Please stop making that noise!” Their pleas fall on deaf ears. At least I assume all the ears in the […]

As you know, I have recently joined a gym. As you also know, it is far too expensive to actually use the gym, due to the fact that I have small children that I am not allowed to balance on the handlebars of my exercise bicycle, and so am required to pay money for their […]
My Fitness Consultation
Good news! My stint in Coke Rehab is working! I have lost almost 20 pounds, and am now on my way to being actually not fat, instead of just relatively not fat. I know this because I had my fitness consultation yesterday. My second trip to the gym went much better than my first trip. […]
I Joined a Gym
I have been to “the gym” exactly three times in my life. The first time was when I was in college and my roommates (who always seemed to be going to the gym) asked if I wanted to come along. I went in, fooled around a little bit, annoyed my roommates to no end, decided […]
