\"\"About a week ago, I reported here that I was not going to die\u2026 of starvation.\u00a0 Well, on that same day I got some other news about why I am not going to die\u2026of a heart attack.\u00a0 See, when I went to the street fair last weekend, I stepped up to the Walgreen’s Mobile Health Screening Bus and had my vitals checked.\u00a0 The one number I was most scared about was my cholesterol level.\u00a0 High cholesterol runs in my family and I don\u2019t exactly have the world\u2019s healthiest diet.\u00a0 For years, I have avoided finding out what my number was.<\/font><\/p>\n

Gulp\u2026 It\u2019s 228.\u00a0 Hey.. that’s not all that bad!<\/p>\n

See, I was afraid it was going to be in the high 200\u2019s, maybe even 300\u2019s.\u00a0 228 is also about what I thought my weight was too (I recently checked and found out it was 242!).<\/p>\n

In any case, both of these numbers are still too high.\u00a0 I\u2019m not about to drop dead of a clogged artery, but I have set myself a goal.\u00a0 Get both the weight and the cholesterol to under 200 by the end of the year.\u00a0 I\u2019m already taking steps.\u00a0 Improving my diet.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been to the gym twice this week and it\u2019s only Tuesday.\u00a0 Getting out and about\u2026 Like today.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"Today, I wanted to go hiking in the beautiful forests of the great Northwest.\u00a0 I made a new \u201cTour d\u2019Joko\u201d video out of it as well.\u00a0 Just south of Kenmore, Washington (the city was founded on the site of an abandoned refrigerator), lies Saint Edward Park. The sky was clear, the trees were beautiful, the lake was peaceful and the speed bumps were particularly nasty.\u00a0 I hit one going way too fast while essentially riding with one hand (the other hand had my camera in it)\u2026 I crashed.\u00a0 Hard.\u00a0 Nothing seriously damaged, which was pretty amazing considering I had my ukulele and camera with me\u2026 I did get some nasty road rash, though. <\/font><\/p>\n
