The Beta Benedict (Benny) Colbert

(a spin off of the way the Pope is referred to as...)

On the afternoon of Saturday, January 7th, 2006, Benedict (often referred to as Benny) Colbert passed away. He spent 3.5 years with his owner, Stephen. He loved to swim, eat, squirm around in his bowl, and show his various shades of blue, green, and purple. His fondest memories were moving every year with his owner into a new apartment. Now that his owner had "settled down," he enjoyed his more permanent surroundings. His service was held outside of his owner's condo on Sunday, January 8th. He will be missed. RIP.

New Year, New Goals, New Rants

Ok, ok...so I haven't been a good blogger this year thus far...actually, I've been a really bad one...seeing as how this is my first post in 2006. Work, web blocks at work, no time at home, etc. are all reasons, but let's not go there. Without further adieu, here are...

My 2006 New Year's Resolutions

1. Start saving. I'm 25 and I have no savings. Sad.
2. Watch less tv, read more. 'Nuff said.
3. Train, train, train.
4. At least 2 marathons this year...with a better performance than my first.
5. Do a couple of Olympic distance triathlons.
6. ...maybe a Half Ironman...MAYBE.
7. No alcohol Sundays - Thursdays (except for special occasions).
8. Drink more water!!!
9. Get more rest. Sleep is good:)

That's it. I don't have your typical "workout more" or "eat better" or "diet" because I think I'm ok in that department.

Here's to a new year! (raises glass of water...see?! I'm doing good! hehe)

And yes, you'll notice that I've altered my blog name. Seeing my pattern thus far this year, I think I can keep a promise to post at least once a week (hopefully more).
