Damn! It seems I’m a little ‘thinner’ than yesterday. Exercising twice a day is hard work. If the scales haven’t lied, total weight loss 16kg so far.How far to go? Well, my attempts to work out a healthly BMI suggest somewhere between 72~74kgs. So I’m half way there. Only took two years!I know I could…
Today’s cycle ride via Youbike. I had to go to Hongshulin to find one! It was a bit rickety! I took nearly 2 hours! Including a coffee break. Google says 44 minutes! LOL! I don’t think Google knows my propensity to dilly-dallying along the way.
It’s difficult to get away from here, if you’re living in Miami… but if you want to live there, well that’s another ball game altogether! At least the weather is a little warmer than New York City, right now! And it’s a little drier than the floods in London. How does it compare to the…

With high speed chips, and powerful graphics displays, it’s not unreasonable to use them as sophisticated computers in their own right. But quite a few boys and girls must be crying themselves to…
The pound used to trade at about NT$68-69 for quite a while. Currently it’s trading at about 46.5~47.
