It's time for the weekend and this weekend, Marissa and I will be staying at Disney's Boardwalk resort. We're just staying there tonight but it will be nice to "get away" for one night and have some fun. We haven't settled on any firm plans beyond dinner. We're eating at Portobello Yacht Club restaurant because we received gift certificates from some friends before the holidays. I haven't heard great things about it but since we aren't really paying for it, we really have nothing to lose. At any rate, it should be a nice weekend together.

Yesterday we went to the gym and I had a good workout. When I was doing weights, I felt good and afterwards I felt like my upper body was....swelled up, which is a good thing. Then I did the elliptical and I felt great. On Tuesday I was struggling through my workout but I finished with extra energy and felt great. I only wish I didn't have the typical post-workout-hunger binge where I had a few servings of the wonderful banana bread my wife makes. It's funny because I really don't like bananas but I could eat banana bread all day long. Marissa made it for me as a surprise and I was thrilled to have some of it.

So the big news of the day is the plane crash yesterday. What happened is pretty much the sum of all my fears when it comes to flying and it reminds me, yet again, how much I really hate flying. The worst part is it isn't the fault of some faulty sensor or screw that can be repaired in all planes. Rather, it's friggin birds! What are they going to do...kill all birds? Now in addition to worrying about the plane exploding/crashing/falling apart, I have to worry about mammals in the air too!
