I came across an emacs app that spits out a dad joke every time it's invoked. Today's is: Dermatologists are always in a hurry. They spend all day making rash decisions. I love silly jokes and riddles. I posted a riddle a day out of a book for more than three years until I had to go in for an open abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery about five years ago. I was in hospital for three weeks and pretty out of it for another two months, so lost interest in the riddles, my journal and just about everything else. I've just recently become interested in those sorts of things again, hence the exercising.

Dave Freer's new book Storm Dragon is out as of last Friday. I just received it this morning but haven't had time to look at it yet. I've been waiting ever since he started teasing us about it in his weekly column on the Mad Genius Club website. The site is dedicated to authors, aspiring and otherwise.

It's another beautiful day so far. The air is quite cool but the sun makes it worth putting up with the breeze and cold. I sat out and recovered from my daily walk on the elliptical and listened to the most recent Fretboard Journal podcast. Where Jason Verlinde was interviewing a dulcimer maker named Joellen Lapidus. I eventually had to come in because the sun was getting a bit to intense.

Today's walk on my elliptical saw me reach right up to 20 minutes. I new changing the pop Chinese radio station would pay-off! I was very glad to manage the end of the fourth song! They weren't five minute songs either, there were a couple of ads in there as well as a partial tune I came in on the middle of when I was just starting.
