Despite my elation for the fall of Packer, according to the article Packer will be replaced by Clark Kellogg.  Not sure how I feel about this, especially since Kellogg has spent more time in the studio than on the sidelines.  However, he does know his stuff, for the most part.  He needs to keep playing up his best quality though....not being Billy Packer.  If he can maintain that, he'll be fine.

UPDATE:
Not only is it now official, but Packer won't be doing any more games.  Hopefully ever.

I was already in "fair" to "decent" shape.  Before starting this regimen,  I could crank out 30 to 40 pushups in an ideal environment (rested, motivated, awake, sober)  I'm a fairly active guy, but I don't have a lot of disposable time to work out.  I have some time in the evenings after I get the kids to bed, but I rarely have enough energy at night to go work out or go on a run.  However, I was looking for a way to stay in shape, get stronger and so forth without going to the gym, buying equipment or most importantly requiring a lot of time.  This program seems to fit the bill.

Knowing that sticking to an exercise program would be difficult, despite being only 6 weeks and only requiring 30 minutes a week, I had to insure I would stick with it.  My first step was telling people at my office that I was starting this program.  Some co-workers were interested and some even claimed to start it themselves.  But that just didn't seem like enough.  So I decided tell as many people I can through my blog (all 3 of you).  Finally, I decided to track my progress.  The final motivation is making this progress publicly available, which makes me accountable for my progress.

Track my progress

Both kids are typically asleep by 8PM and last night was no exception.  However, after putting the kids to bed, instead of taking care of some tasks around the house or entertaining myself in some fashion, I went straight to the couch.  Asleep by 8:30PM.  I slept there until about 2AM, then made a beeline to my bed where I picked up where I left off on the couch.  Except for a minor interruption by Carter, I slept until 6AM.  By my fuzzy math, thats about 9.5 hours, where I'm used to getting about 7.  I'm definitely "caught up" on the sleep now.  ]]> Fatherhood 2008-06-18T08:25:20-05:00 http://lethargicmind.org//441 I'm no wiring expert, but did Target confuse the Coaxial and Composite examples? 441@http://lethargicmind.org/ Target, I was looking around in the electronics area.  I happened to notice a seemingly helpful graphical sign for defining the different types of video cabling.
