I'm in Berkeley now
I use the library daily.
I haven't started swimming yet. But I've still lost some weight.
For news, I read the NY times daily,
and the Economist, Christian science monitor (weeklies)
Sometimes I use the library computer, where I check the wikipedia news, too.
Or if the NYtimes isn't available, I'll look at the WSJ.
I walk the dogs a couple times a day.
I read books, like Franzen's 'Freedom', and 'You've Got to Read This' (collection of shorts).
I'm working on The Year's Best Horror and Fantasy (2005).
I bought 3 books from Barnes & Noble:
-John Muir Laws' 'Guide to the Sierra Nevada'
-2011 Best American Short Stories
-100 things you are not supposed to know
whatever strikes my fancy from the reference area
(I'm looking at the Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience at the moment)
and
Foreign Affairs (every 2 months)
local Berkeley paper..
I really like it here.
I'm single, and I've updated my okcupid account to place me in the Bay Area.
