We are trying to get back into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cincinnatiymca.org\/\">Y<\/a> swing of things.  I went running this morning (new 5k record of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coolrunning.com\/cgi-bin\/log\/display.cgi?u=regoarrarr;s=dan\">28:57<\/a>) and Carolyn was going to take the kids.  Actually last night we decided she was just going to go with the littl&#8217;ns but then we remembered this morning is one of those &#8220;fake&#8221; holidays where I still have to work but we get no mail and the kids are off school (that would be Presidents Day for those following along).  So then I believe she was going to just go with all of them.  Amy was very excited to go to the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cincinnatiymca.org\/locations\/blueAsh\/childwatch.shtml\">Cool Club<\/a>&#8221; and mentioned it several times in her prayer this morning &#8211; all about how she was going to climb on the (rock) wall and play computer games and then something about 3 of something that I didn&#8217;t quite get.<\/p>\n<p>So we have been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trashyourtv.com\">TV free<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.regoarrarr.com\/blog\/2007\/01\/more-no-tv.html\">3 weeks<\/a> now.  One thing that has been interesting is our drop in current event followage.  I wouldn&#8217;t say that we were ever on the &#8220;cutting edge&#8221; of current events, but I think I&#8217;ve noticed that we are even less so now with no TV.  When we had the TV, occasionally we&#8217;d hit the news channels (CNN, Fox News, etc) as we were flipping and we&#8217;d at least get a hold of some of the &#8220;big&#8221; news.  Now we don&#8217;t even get this.  The other day on the radio as I was driving in, I heard that some ex-NBA player <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Amaechi\">came out of the closet<\/a> a week or so previously.  And apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anna-Nicole_Smith#Death\">Anna Nicole Smith is dead<\/a>?!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that I particularly CARE about these events &#8211; in fact when we had a TV, that was one of the annoying parts about it &#8211; how the media would just latch on to all these stories that really weren&#8217;t that interesting.  But I find it somewhat interesting that Anna Nicole Smith has been dead (for 11 days) and I had no idea.  Perhaps I should subscribe to some news RSS feeds with my awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/reader.google.com\">Google Reader<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Okay &#8211; I lied &#8211; one Rubik&#8217;s note.  In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.regoarrarr.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/im-champion.html\">my last post<\/a>, I mentioned how I was a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cubestation.co.uk\/cs2\/index.php?page=fmc\/newarchive\/getresults.php&#038;metric=htm&amp;redirect=1&#038;challengeid=141\">champion<\/a> at the weekly FMC.  As I somewhat suspected, not all the results were in &#8211; last night sometime (or probably early this morning UK time) more results were added, and I actually finished 5th, which makes a lot more sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes folks, it&#8217;s a non-Rubiks cube related post.
