Gym Log
Well . . . thought I'd publicly disclose my routine. Before I had my knee injury, I was running 50 miles a week and won a few city-wide tennis tournaments. I slowed down and slowly gained maybe 20 pounds. I need to bring my weight down, reduce my waistline from 36 to 34, develop a six-pack stomach, and become as fit as a marathoner. Feel free to prod me on if you're lurking. Your suggestions, positive or negative, may be beneficial.

Sunset Dinner at Zanzibar on the Waterfront
Dale and I had dinner at Zanzibar on the Waterfront, a multi-ethnic Washington, D.C. nightclub that attracts Africans, African-Americans and Caribbeans. We watched the sunset, listened to Bob Marley and danced to 50 cent.
We visited my mother and had conversations with Ngozi (my sister-in-law) and half a dozen nieces and nephews that were spending the night with her. Ngozi woke her son and said:
"Do you recognize him? He is your famous uncle that you read about in school."
Mum reminded me to call my aunt Mama Ifeoma and console her on the death of my cousin Ifeanyi - who died in childbirth. She also updated us with interesting stories from her last weekend's trip to Onitsha Convention in Houston, Texas.
