Woke early (5:00 AM). Stretches. Warm-up cardio: 15 minutes. Weight training: leg raise, sidelying inner thigh lift, sidelying leg lift, kneeling kickback, crunch. A few weeks ago I started working in a 20-pound ankle weight and doing more lower body routines. I need this because I can't do a lot of lower body exercises due to my occasional knee pain, so the ankle weight can be secured above the knee and not provide too much stress to it. 20 may seem a lot for an ankle, but for a thigh it's just about right, and it can be adjusted if needed. Very happy with it so far. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Shower. To work. Removed job posting document from scribd. CCD meeting. CCD work. For lunch today I took the N-Judah to 19th Avenue and walked to Underdog, an organic hot dog joint at Irving between 17th and 18th. It's tiny—maybe 9 seats indoors and a bench with TV dinner trays outside. I ordered an underdog (the standard organic cow hot dog) and tater tots, about $7.50 total. About 10 or 15 minutes later the woman comes to my table and wants to check—did I order an underdog and tater tots? I say yes. A few minutes later I have my food. The tater tots taste different than the store-bought tater tots I'm used to. I guess it's the organicness of the potatoes. Different, but not clearly tastier or better. The dog tasted like a hot dog to me. Nothing particularly amazing about it being organic that I could tell. I'm glad I tried Underdog, but I don't think I'll return again anytime soon. If only they could serve the same thing in 1 minute instead of 12 or 15—that would bring me back. Updated vice chairs listings for Debra H. Updated associate deans listings for Susie. Posted and announced updated P1 schedule for Lucia. More CCD work: reviewed Doug C's notification message of testing in 301. Posted updated org charts for the school for Susie. Styled tables on the BTS faculty page. Wrote a new function to simplify the process of creating links to Joel's blog from our admissions web pages, inserted calls to the function for every blog post of his that made sense. Listserv maintenance: added a student back after dropped due to mailbox too full. Answered a question about how names appear for student JY. To home. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers.
