Well, the weekend started off strong.  I reseeded the bare spots on my front lawn, and kept up my exercise routine.  On Saturday, however, one of my buddies came over, and I had a few beers, a jumbo-sized cheeseburger at Applebee’s, and too many chocolate donuts.  I forgot to mention the coffee to wash down the donuts.  The same coffee that I attempted to give up here and here.  I’m tempted to try this weight loss combo that a reader suggested in a comment about an exercise post.

Although I didn’t take care of my physical self, I worked hard on improving my intelligence.  At least I educated myself somewhat.  I finished reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and started re-reading Getting Rich in America by Dwight R. Lee and Richard B. McKenzie.  I’ll be writing reviews about them in the near future.  I’m especially intrigued by Kiyosaki’s advice about investing in tax lien certificates.  I’ll have more research to do on that subject also.  Kiyosaki recommends The 16 Percent Solution by Joel Moskowitz as good reading on tax liens.

My pick (Friesan Fire) didn’t win the Kentucky Derby.  Hell, he finished next to last in eighteenth place. He beat only one other horse, which is only one more than I beat, and I didn’t even race!

My kids saw the new Wolverine movie with their friends, and said it was awesome!  My sons started watching the X Men cartoons when they were little, and got me hooked on them, too.  I’ll probably catch the movie when it comes out on DVD.

Well, tomorrow starts another week.  I’m going to get back on the program, and really stick to my diet.  I hope to have better news to report next week.
