Gooooogle... Goooooogle!
Google rocks! About.com rocks!
I wanted to find info about fitness centres in Victoria, BC. They just unveiled their advanced features, which bring it pretty close in functionality to AltaVista, but with Google's legendary quality search results.
First I tried "fitness victoria". That didn't work, too many pages about Victoria in Australia.
Then I tried "fitness victoria -australia", but that wasn't very good either, too many general victoria hits.
So, finally: "+fitness +victoria -australia".
2nd hit: Fitness and Wellness - Victoria BC
This is a great page... I didn't figure I'd actually find all these links on one page -- I expected to spend the whole night finding these.
Thank you Google and About.com!

Driving range
Lots of golfing this weekend. Went to the range twice (free both times, friends have expiring punch cards), and to a 9-hole course this evening. I got par on 2 of the 9 holes, my total... 46 (+19!).
My chipping and putting was horrendous -- my short game is usually my saving grace. Off the tee was pretty solid, which is usally erratic.
I better go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to do paperwork to transfer away the lease on my Ford Explorer, then go to Saturn to do paperwork there.

Saturn LW1 - the L series Wagon
Saturn: LW1 -- this might be my next vehicle. I've put a deposit down on one. Once my existing vehicle is off my hands (on Monday), I'll sign the papers at Saturn.
I love Saturn cars. :) This would be my second. I had a 1996 SL 1, and kept it for the full three year lease term. I got the Ford Explorer after that because I really needed more leg-room for my messed up knee, and Saturn didn't make a large enough vehicle. Now, with their L series cars, they finally do.
Hmm... I like Macs, dig Saturn cars. I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, pirate software, movies or songs, nor do I eat McDonald's hamburgers, or drink pop. Oh, and I've never stepped foot inside a Walmart store. What a weirdo. :-) (at least that's what my friends call me -- that, and freak)
Weight loss update
Went to the doctor yesterday for a weight-loss-checkup. Official weight loss so far: 33.5 pounds since May 2nd. My goal of 70 pounds by April 25, 2001 seems very attainable now.
My new goal is 100 pounds (no target date, but April 25, 2001 would be nice), which my doctor says is my target weight.
So, I'm 66.5 pounds overweight, 6'4" tall. I have work to do!
