Reconnecting via LinkedIN
Been doing some networking with past employees, and fellow workers this week via LinkedIN.
Got some great emails from friends from the past ... going all the way back to my Microcom days. It was great to hear from Dennis Corain, Chris S from Lodging, and to view David Fravels blog .... I think I'll link to it in the future, since he blogs about running like I do about walking.
If you're not familiar with LinkedIN ... it's really a social networking site for professionals ... great place to hang your hat, and your resume.
North Carolina Trip
We drove to North Carolina, actually to Denver NC, to share the holidays with our great friends, Gale and Tom Burke, and their family. As always, had a terrific time, good laughs, good food, and plenty of wine.
Did our first extended road trip, drove straight from Coral Spring to Denver in a little over 10 hrs. It's actually about 5 hrs. to Jacksonville FL, and then about another 5 to Denver NC. Pretty easy drive with regards to traffic and highway.
Did a few good walks there, with the rolling hills giving parts of my body a new experience. Had aches and pains in my ankles, shins, and hips ... but they disapated in a couple of days.
Love NC and would sure like to retire in that part of the country some day.
I'm baaaaack!
Wow ... November was a busy month ... work is very busy ... I'm trying very hard to build an internet business (http://www.activeauthority.com/), holiday, travel, and of course walking!
Been really quite good at the walking regime, but really only averaging 2 days a week. I don't like walking at dark, and I'm usually in the office very early. The afternoon heat in south Florida usually cancels any physical activity.
Oh well ... I'll just keep going ... doing 15 minute mi. as a routine.

the little mp3 player
It's really amazing that I may have to attribute my foray into fitness via walking to my little black mp3 player.
As a former Woodstock participant, and frequent visitor to the Filmore East in the Village ... Janice, Doors, Led Zepplin, Iron Butterfly, and more ... the music I can carry with me on my walks helps pass the time, with a smile on my face as I relive my youthful days (as a pseudo hippie and political activist).
In reality there was a little old man inside trying to get out!
Well now he's out!

Men of any age must read this!
Sept. 2, 2005 - Being physically fit can dramatically reduce men’s deaths from heart disease – even when their cholesterol rates are high, according to a Canadian study that included men up to 79 years of age. Researchers, say, the reduction is as much as 50 percent, regardless of their cholesterol level.
