Ahh…end of another fun-filled week at the office and it’s time for a first-time “Friday Five” post. Seriously, though there is much madness going on in the country, I’ve had a pretty good week…
The New iPhones
Our iPhone Xs were finally delivered on Monday! Though it does seem a bit Pavlovian to be excited over a new smartphone, Al’s been in need of a new one for awhile now. The batteries on his 6 have been having a fairly low timespan after a charge and his speaker was barely loud enough for him to hear it; he’s not big on holding the phone to his head (for that matter, neither am I).
First impressions: the size is actually very ideal. It’s not too big, not too small. The screen resolution is very nice. There is a learning curve and getting used to the absence of the Home button has proven a bit of a challenge at first, but the swiping movements to get around feel a bit more natural, especially when having the phone docked on my iHome clock radio at the office.
Al is doing okay with the changes since having it for a couple of days, and he loves his new phone. That’s nice to see…lol.
The “Moore-Ons”
The AL Senate vote will be taking place on Tuesday, the 12th. Despite the inappropriate sexual allegations of Roy Moore’s sordid past, it is shaping up that he will win the US Senate seat. Trump has doubled-down on his support of Moore (birds of a feather, you know…), and if I were a betting man, I’d bet my last ten bucks that Moore will win this Tuesday. Alabamians are deep red, and they’d sooner vote for a pedophile before a Democrat. Then again, they’re not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier…hmm.
Training
Ahh, one of my favorite things to write about. Seriously, it’s going okay and I felt better this week. The tweak in my lower back appears to have subsided and I was able to get a decent leg workout done last night. My Training Room workouts have been going quite well also. Because of having to head to Al’s on Wednesday evening and needing to pick up my race packet for tomorrow’s Santa Run, I had to do two early (5:15AM) shifts. It’s not a problem necessarily, except around the middle-of-the-day, I struggle to remain bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed. The tendonitis in my right elbow hasn’t subsided much, but that would mean laying off my bicep exercises, which ain’t gonna happen. I want those gainz, ya know!!
Santa Run & Tomorrow’s Weather
Tomorrow’s impending snow forecasts have me a little on edge because I am running in my first Santa Run in the latter part of the morning. And Al and I are planning to head into NYC to do our yearly Holiday-in-NYC-Thing. The latter event might prove to be enjoyable, since we’re now in the winter holiday season and that will be a nice backdrop. I’m not sure if the run will happen or not at this point; I hope to learn more when I pick up the race packet after work today. If the race doesn’t happen, or if things look to risky, I’ll do a run over at Jersey Shore on one of the treadmills. A run will happen…oh yes…it is known.
2nd Friday “Drinks”
Meeting with the guys tonight around 11 for drinks at Applebee’s.
