• I am back from my blogging hiatus.  Between work, managing my
  diabetes,  and various attempts at a social life,  i’ve been
  very very busy.

  On the diabetes front,  things are going really well.  I’ve
  managed to drop my daily glucose averages to around 160-170, 
  which is considerably better than where they were a month ago, 
  nearly 100 points higher.  I can definitely feel the
  difference.  I’m a little less sore and i’ve had fewer headaches
  from what i perceived to be swings in my glucose.  I haven’t quite
  gotten back into the regimen of hitting the gym every other day, 
  but I blame that on the return of baseball.  I’m usually quite a
  bit happier once springtime rolls around.  I’ve been to quite a
  few games already this season.  I won’t admit how many;  it
  is a little embarassing.

  Five weeks from today,  I’m to Las Vegas…..Sin City.  The
  third annual memorial day weekend trip where I get a chance to see
  friends from college who I don’t usually see during the
  year.   As always,  we’ll be staying at the
  Flamingo,  mainly for its central location on the Strip and its
  awesome pool. 

  This week (and next) are jam-packed for me.  Tuesday night, 
  I saw The Killers in concert at the Fillmore.  WHAT AN AMAZING
  SHOW!   Damn, that was a good time.  Last night, I was
  at the Giants game.  Noah Lowry pitched well,  but just
  didn’t have the defense behind him nor any run support,  so that
  combination made it tough to come up with a win. The Giants lost 2-0 to
  the dbacks, and will get their revenge tonight.  Schmidt is on the
  mound tonight and Arcade-152 will be throwing the K’s up as
  usual.  (Provided either Brendan, Aaron, or Kevin show up….I
  really should have a set made up as well since I’m always there for the
  Schmidt games…) 

  As for the rest of the week,  Giants games through Sunday, 
  Monday i’m taking the day off (i’ll actually get to watch 24 this week
  instead of tivo’ing or torrenting it), 
  Tuesday, i’m seeing the Donna’s @ Slims,  Wed/Thurs, i’m seeing
  New Found Glory,  and Friday i’m stoked because i’m seeing WEEZER!
  at the Warfield.  They’ve been on my “must-see-live” list
  forever.  Tickets sold out in three minutes,  or close to
  that.  I ended up driving down to Los Banos on Easter Sunday to
  assure that i’d get tickets at face-value,  thats how much I
  wanted them.  Tickets are now going for $75 a pop on
  craigslist.  Viva Capitalism and all,  but really…..
