I’ve posted about a couple of high aspirations recently. To keep myself in check, here is a status update.

Summer of George — Well this started off with a bang. It hit its stride around the first of July. Then the wheels fell off. I got really tired of my old bike and, honestly, a little laziness set in. For the record I kept up the breakfast / soymilk part through June and July. The exercise part ended up regressing each month after a solid month of perfection. Now that I’ve got a new bike, and new aspirations, I should be able to be a little more consistent. All in all I still think I did some good in preparation for the cholesterol test. I’ll keep you posted. (I still have a few bowls of Cheerios to eat to finish off the supply I had Tonia buy.)

Culture Gap — This is going a little better than expected. Thanks in most part to the addition of Netflix. I still have a few left to complete the list, however there are a few I’m thinking of eliminating. I’ve heard no good reviews to warrant giving Clockwork Orange a look. And after the first Monty Python movie I watched, I’m positive it couldn’t get any better with Life of Brian. And I seriously doubt I’ll watch all of the Star Trek and James Bond movies, but I will catch a few so I’m not completely out of the conversation. (Any recommendations on those?)
