A quiet day overall but with much to report.
First, I reached an important goal this morning when my daily weigh-in noted that I had now lost 11.5 kilos/25.4 lbs. since the start of my newest health regimen on January 15th.
To reach my overall weight goal I'll need to shed another 11 kilos by my birthday on July 7th.
We'll see.
We needed to do a bit of shopping at the Oxnard Costco today but first, Laurie's Blueberry II needed gas.
Last week the fill-up at Costco cost me $4.99 a gallon.
Today at the same Costco, it was up to $5.29 a gallon, a 30¢ a gallon leap in just seven days. OUCH!
Still though, Costco's gas prices were 20¢ a gallon LESS than the cheapest gas station that I saw in Camarillo this morning on my way to Costco in Oxnard.
MAGA America, how do you like winning so far?
The NCAA DI Men's Basketball
Tournament started today
When I was teaching years ago at Rio Mesa H.S., one of my duties was to run the illicit, highly competitive March Madness Office Pool.
In those days, on the Thursday that always marked the first day of the tournament, I would tune in between classes and at our morning and lunch breaks to check on the progress of the games and delight in the inevitable upsets that occurred in the opening round.
My dream was to someday just call in sick, go to Camarillo Cronies and spend the entire day watching ALL of these opening day games.
Today, retired as I am, I had the opportunity to do just that.
Instead, I stayed at home for most of the day reading a good book and didn't watch one moment of any of the games.

This city's name just rolls
off of the tongue
Another EXCELLENT team name!
Mundane but workable mascot
Is every win by the Bulldogs
also considered an "upset?"
