Has it really been that long?

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since January. My gosh, what is wrong with me? Maybe I should have access to the Internet taken away or something as punishment. Don't worry, I'll try to be a bit more consistent going forward.

What's happened since January 26, 2009? Oh, not much. College hoops ended, as did the NFL, NBA and the NHL. NASCAR got cranked up and now is approaching its playoffs (only don't call it that in front of anyone from NASCAR, it's the "Chase to the Sprint Cup"). Golf has gone through three of its four majors, and somebody other than Tiger Woods has won all three. Talk about your upsets. Oh, and Major League Baseball is approaching its trade deadline, only it's not the real deadline, only the non-waiver, special circumstances, I don't understand what it's all about deadline. Will Roy Halladay stay in Toronto? Dozens of Canadians are curious to find out, and the rest can't wait for hockey to get back going. Training camp starts soon, you hosers!

Outside of the sporting world, the big news in my life has been my weight loss. I'm down to a ton! Actually, I've lost about 65-70 pounds following my own version of the Atkins diet, along with regular trips to the gym for some cardio. I'm now jogging an hour two days a week (at a slow speed, so it works out to about 5.5 miles) and doing shorter runs on three more occasions. So far, so good. I'd like to lose about 30 more pounds if I could, but they're not coming off quite was quickly as they were earlier. Maybe by Labor Day I'll have good news to post.

Oh, and I'm also new to Twitter. In case you can't get enough of me here, you can check me out there. It's "kpinthehouse," if you can find me. Apparently, everyone in the world named Keith Parsons has a Twitter account. Good luck finding me, and check back soon, eh!
