It’s kind of anti-climactic, really, that my new computer is set up. It’s prettier, the external monitor is bigger, and I have a new wireless keyboard, but other than that it’s all about the same. I suppose it’s a little faster as well, but when you think about it, the things that have changed are fairly minor. That being said, I’m still glad I got a new computer and the little differences should make themselves apparent as I use it. It’s just sitting here, typing, I can’t see a big difference. But really, I could be typing at almost any Mac keyboard and it would all be the same.

I’m taking a day off from the gym tomorrow because my sister’s friend Alice, who we’ve known much longer than most of the people in the gym have been alive, is coming to town from Montana. It’s probably a good thing that I’m taking a day off; I’m so tired this week that I can’t even remember how many times we’re supposed to be doing a particular exercise. Today I thought we were doing several rounds, and I wasn’t paying attention to the time. SImple addition would have told me that one round was taking 27 minutes, so multiple rounds were out of the question. I suppose simple addition eludes me on a normal day. For some reason, college calculus displaced all the arithmetic that I learned in grade school. Fortunately, I’ve forgotten the calculus and I’m relearning the simple math. It’s much more useful except when I’m golfing. Then I need really big numbers.
