Not a Duran Duran fan blog, just a thought on this gray overcast day in a city by the bay - San Leandro. I guess "the" city by the bay is San Francisco but San Leandro qualifies although, I do not know the difference between a town and a city in the strict definition sense - population, square mileage, Andy Taylor is the sheriff - let me google and I'll be right back.....Well, that was fascinating. I actually googled that right now and the difference is legally defined as having a city government as opposed to county. There is an older definition that a city has a cathedral and a town has only a church. I assume Catholic. A town without a church is a hamlet, a godless hamlet full of heathens. Another random thought - in Roman times, people in outlying villages had their own customs and superstitions - a pagan literally means a "village dweller". When the Romans were busy Christianizing everyone they deemed anything non-Christian to be pagan which evolved into the meaning today of almost Satanic.
Enough trivia but that is how my brain works. From city to town to village to pagan to Satan. I think that everything is six degrees away from Satan - forget Kevin Bacon. And when you say Satan you must picture the Church Lady.
On to my exercise diary-
Saturday - did not take that mammoth walk because I overslept. I did go to the gym and did 30 minutes on the eliptical trainer while watching football. Also did some weights and sit-ups. Foodwise, I did ok until....I had a few drinks with friends. I decided I needed some pizza to sober up - two slices. Yum.
Sunday - did some laundry but that is not really aerobic it is aromatic. Anyway, ended up at the gym and skipped the treadmill again. I went for 30 minutes on the trainer and sat in the hot tub and steam room for a while. Food intake was pretty good I must say and no alcohol today.
I watched the History Channel's documentary on 9/11 where they used archival footage and left out the lame commentary of the talking heads. It was fascinating and I was engrossed. Up close like that, you really get to see how heroic the emergency personnel was. Truly heroic.
I fully expect this week to suck so I am preparing myself mentally for the week. If I exercise at all, it will be a triumph. Bad job news is coming and I have to tell the staff that most will lose their jobs.

Your Andy Taylor comment has two meanings, at least under the title of this blog, "New Moon on Monday"
Andy Taylor the ex-guitarist of D2 and your Andy Griffith reference. Didn't know if you knew just how clever you're being :)
Yeah I realized when I re-read it. I even thought I should say Andy Taylor of Mayberry RFD. Weird coincidence
