Last week I went to the doctor. He got my bloodwork back, and apparently my cholesterol is just a little high. I'm 26 and otherwise in decent shape, so I wouldn't ordinarily worry too much about it, except that my dad - also a doctor - has been taking pills to control his cholesterol for about twenty years, and he still worries about it.

My doctor says to try more exercise and a low-fat diet. The big bad guys are eggs, butter, meat, and cheese. I'm still trying to figure out what else there is.

Yeah, I kinda fell off the exercise wagon this past year, but I've started running again. And now I think a little bit more about what I eat. But just a little. Yesterday was another recruiting lunch, this time at the Palm. I went ahead and ordered a big bloody prime aged New York strip. But I think someone at the firm is looking out for me - I got called back to work before I could finish it.
