Professor Ward Churchill, who drew some parallels between 9/11 victims and Nazis, was fired Tuesday by the University of Colorado's Board of Regents. Unfortunately, they cited "deliberate and repeated research misconduct" instead of "Godwin's Law." Okay, beyond that one net-centric joke, I've got nothing. "Churchill, who had tenure, stepped down from his post as head of CU's ethnic studies department amid the flap but remained on staff. He had no immediate reaction to Tuesday's decisio...

I weighed 224 this morning, but that was without PT. If I didn't have the Color Guard event, I would've been at the gym sweating out 2-3lb of water weight, so I'll still count it as progress (which isn't all that important, anyway, as it was just one day). I chose a few things that were very similar to yesterday, but I tried to change up my lunch/dinner entrees, rotate my fruit servings... and I managed to skip my lunch salad and the afternoon "snack" dairy/protein. 1 glass (16oz) Crys...

Having a four week supply for free, I figured I ought to at least give it a shot. My weight went up over the six weeks I had my sons this summer and I'm looking for this to kick start my losses. Hopefully, coupled with a renewed interest in diet and exercise (maybe they won't interfere with my PT sessions too much this month) this will garner some real results. My weight this morning: 224 (after PT) PT was weight lifting while I watched the soldiers on profile: 3 sets, 8 reps bicep ...

As part of goal #I (Make sure that I'm competitive for my first look for SFC (E-7), slated for the end of January next year), A (Resolve my educational issues.), 3 (Contact Cochise College to determine further requirements for an AA in Military Intelligence.), I've been going over my compiled transcript from them (Cochise College) which includes all the transfer credits that I had sent to them. 134 xfer credits + 26 residency credits (3.53 GPA) = 160 total credit hours. I'm hoping that will...

I was being good today, went to the gym, breakfast was more of a light snack... But it's not a good day, so I'm overindulging and finding comfort in food (and probably bourbon). Ah, well. Tomorrow might be bad for food, too, since I'm pulling nearly 12 hours at a rifle range. I imagine I'll check in on Thursday (graduation day).

The weight that I had managed to take off earlier this year was almost entirely replaced over the past 7 weeks. 6 weeks of having my sons with me for the summer, plus one week in the field: I ate way too much during both of those periods of time, for various reasons. Honestly, I just didn't feel like policing myself with the kids here, preparing entirely separate meals for us, and was rather tired just dealing with day-to-day stuff anyway. I continue to increase the amount of respect that ...

Annoyed by Sirius sattelite radio's incessant teaser coverage for their future radio coverage of a recently past event "for a climate in crisis," I've decided to just jot a few things down... How much trash/waste did these multiple concerts produce? Did they serve meat at the venues at all? As I sit here eating my pre-packaged frozen dinner (and throwing away the cardboard box, then the plastic wrapper top, then the plastic container)... did they have a lot of bottled water at these plac...

Between "Short Wait," "Long Wait," and "Very Long Wait" screwing up my queue, NetFlix sending me the wrong volume disk of What's New Scooby Doo (it's labeled wrong in their inventory, and the delays I experience in turnaround... Well, I may go ahead and try the Blockbuster version of the mail in rental. And I hate Blockbuster. What is it? 90% of users get their movies with only a one day turnaround? Well, my movies used to have a two day, one-way trip (which meant 4 day total turnaro...

Finish three more Joint Color Guards to earn the Air Force Achievement Medal. IB1. San Angelo Symphony Orchestra performance - 3JUL. I went to the practice for this...
