Day 47

On Thursday, March 13, I cooked a Tuna Steak for the first time. It doesn't taste like tuna. And it doesn't taste like steak. Sort of a misnomer, if you ask me.

Day 46

On Wednesday, March 11 I saw "W" for the first time.
It's a good movie, I recommend everyone see it. It's actually pretty sympathetic to the 44th president, and deals more with the family dynamics and his political rise than anything else. For an Oliver Stone movie, it's not what I expected.

Day 45

Today, Tuesday 10 March, I finished "A Voyage Long and Strange" by Tony Horwitz. A great book, and I'm counting it as a new experience. He's one of my favorite authors, he's got a talent for blending history, travel narrative, and good dialogue. This book is about him following the footsteps of early explorers in america. May sound dull, but it isn't. And he was as repulsed by the fountain of youth tourist trap as I was in his Ponce De Leon chapter.

Day 44

Monday, I went for a walk on a treadmill in sandals.
I went for a walk in flip flops, but then it got dark and I couldn't see. I had my iphone with me and some headphones, so I stopped by the fitness center where I live and continued my walk by listening to new music (found with shazam).
I probably looked a little weird, but got some exercise after a big dinner. And had the new experience of walking on a treadmill in sandals

Day 43

Today I bought a yoga mat.

I was at the nike outlet returning golf shoes that didn't fit in darien, ga, on my way home from charleston. They didn't have the right size, so I was looking for other things to exchange the shoes for. I don't have a mat for situps at home. I also will probably need to try yoga for this blog at some point. I imagine I'll need a mat.

So now I own a Nike yoga mat.

Day 42

Saturday 6 March, I played golf for the first time at an air force base, with friends Robbie and Lauren in South Carolina. I also went to a stadium and watched pro soccer between DC United and Real Salt Lake that evening, with goals scored by a Brazilian known only as "Fred". Gotta love those brazilians with one name. Also saw, Charleston play Toronto FC, and hung out in the Canadian cheering section. Continued the evening with dinner at Queen Anne's Revenge, named after the flagship of a pirate named Edward Teach who once blockaded Charleston. Edward Teach is better known as Blackbeard.

Finished the evening with drinks at a rooftop bar in downtown Charleston. Good times.

Day 41

Today I went to Chai in Charleston for the first time. It was a cool place, fun outdoor bar vibe and lots going on. Good times. Got to Charleston pretty late after work, so was a calm evening.
