The holiday season was really bad for me and the South Beach Diet. I have sort of fallen off the wagon and need to get back on. HOWEVER, I have not gained back a whole lot of the weight I lost. I'm about the same as when I fell off.

Winter here in Southern California has been very dry. I hear we are at about 50% of our normal rainfall. Sometimes we get back to normal rainfall in the months of march and april.

I am currently reading the book "Learning Python" ( a new popular cross-platform programming language). Just finished reading a book written by an old high-school chum - Michael O'Conner titled "Sermon on the Mount", a book about the connection between Baseball and God. The book is available on amazon.com if you're interested.
