Having moved to blogger, I'm trying to generate more content. This is not hard, since any is greater than zero.
However, I should include my usual disclaimer, which is I write more on both our kitten blog and on Twitter.
I do like how easy it was to add live links to the most recent updates for both sites on my sidebar, as I never found customizing MovableType very easy.
(I'm also on Facebook, but my content there is not public.)

Administrivia - Site Blog Software Upgraded
We've been seeing too much comment SPAM lately, so for the first time in too long a time (3 years), we've upgraded the Movable Type software which drives our blogs.
With Movable Type 5.01, we are now able to require commenters to sign-in order to reduce SPAM. We will not be collecting your login information, but rather relying on your choice of another web site (Google, Yahoo, AIM, Live Journal etc.) to verify you exist. (We won't see your password for that other site, they'll just us tell your name and maybe email address.)
The leap in software releases required us to change the look of the blogs; we're not done with Katherine's TFM blog yet. In addition, we MAY have broken some links.
Please notify of us any problems you have reading or commenting on the blogs.

Nine months
My dietary habits have been really bad since the new year, but I can say one thing ... it has now been a full nine months since I had cola. That should be the longest stretch by far since I started drinking it around the end of the Ford Administration.

Lance Armstrong, I'm NOT
I rode the semi-recumbent stationary bike on my regular schedule today. This is noteworthy only because I nudged it up to level 3 for 48 minutes and lived to tell about it.
In October, I was using level at 1 for 32 minutes.
Most interesting to me is not the "distance" I went, but that my knees (my weakest link) have far less discomfort with this level and time than in they did during the lighter workouts back in October. So it would appear I am responding to the regular exercise.

Still a Few Bugs in the System
A Wii Fit showed up for Christmas, after Katherine searched high and low for it which is tale in itself.
(Short version: She gave up, chose another present, and happened to ask about Wii Fit when she was paying for my other present. Score!)
When Wii Fit tested my weight and balance on Friday, it pronounced my Wii Fit Age as 12 years older than my calendar age, and noted that I'm obese. (No kidding...)
When it tested me today, it said that I had gained four pounds and that my Wii Fit age had dropped 9 years. I think it's downright confused. I have lost weight (per the bathroom scale, used daily), and my fitness certainly hasn't improved that much to overcome the perceived weight gain.
Side note: Since my last post in November, I have been exercising and slowly losing weight, about 7 pounds in the past month on top of previous losses. The loss could be a little faster (bot not much), so life is good.

A New Component Failure
Weight continues to drop faster slightly faster than it should.
Exercise hit minor glitch today when I switched to the Schwinn Airdyne to add my arms to the workout. It promptly reminded my posterior why we bought the semi-recumbent bike four years ago -- the Schwinn saddle doesn't interface well to my own over sensitive (and overloaded) component.
This may be the Great Phys Ed Instructor in the Sky telling me take a walk outside for a change. However, that can overload the knees (which is why I like the stationary bikes). My legs actually want some exercise, we'll see.
