Q. What are you doing this summer?
A.  The question seems to imply that the summer season is different from any other.  Unfortunately, the days of summer breaks are over.  The only benefit that summer brings is prolonged hours of sunlight.  This is not something to be discounted, however, because going home after sunset is indescribably and inexplicably depressing.

Q.  What happened to you?  You're fat.
A.  Darn, you noticed.  On average, I only exercise about 3 hours a week now, and half of that is accumulated from walks to the cafeteria.  Also, this past Saturday, I had Fuji Sushi buffet in Davis for lunch, then returned to Berkeley for all-you-can-eat hot pot that evening.  I went to Davis for Ricky's graduation and Berkeley to see John.

Q.  You used to spend every moment each evening on AIM and gchat hoping to escape your loneliness;  how come you've been less visible lately?
A.  Megaman X: Command Mission for Gamecube.  I've b....excuse me while I go destroy some Mavericks.

Q.  How's the jump training going?
A.  It's stalling.  I do leg exercises about once a week.  I'm afraid to convert all my endurance muscle fibers into the fast twitch ones by jumping too much because then I'll die during the SF half marathon.  I also don't want to train for endurance and end up with an 8 inch vertical, so I'm not really training for the marathon either.    I have no dearth of excuses for my laziness.
