At this stage I have essentially finished Ch 1-6. There may be some small changes here and there but they will pretty much stay as is as far as I can see. Anyway now for Ch 7-12.

I am almost at the end of the first set of lessons and I seem to be liking it the more that I do. At first it’s a little confusing but I am finding it more intuitive now and easier to pick up. What I am finding is that Salsa is a lot of fun and there is so much variety and depth to it.

Today I did 4 reps of 145lbs, progress I guess

well I have switched to 1 Corinthians to translate because I am studying this book right now and it is going much better. I am seeing that translating the book helps me understand the book better and corresponds with my other reading. It’s actually an easy book to translate as well.

I am glad that chapters 1 & 2 are done and I can begin to get this out. I really did underestimate the editing time. Anyway the book is on course and I expect chapters 3 & 4 to be complete within the coming weeks. Now I am page 35, making this the longest thing that I have written!

I did 2 reps of 145 today and felt I could do a few more if I really pushed it. Next workout I think I will work on 2 reps of 150lbs. It is starting to feel like I am getting close now.

Well today I did 6 reps of 135lbs, I think there is
a good chance that I could be up to 150 within the
month!

So far I am really enjoying Salsa, its a great social dance and it also looks cool as well. What I like about this is that you can do this your whole life and it gets you out and about.

I am doing 8 full reps of 130lbs and I am feeling stronger. I don’t want to just lift 170lbs once but to do 8 solid reps of it. Anyway i guess just 40lbs to go and the goal will be reached.

Well Chapters 1 and 2 are looking good and Chapter 3 is being edited at the moment. It feels good to have some really good chapters behind me and set the course for this book. I guess its like carving out the head of a statue. Anyway progress is good.

yay I have finished, Rome is now mine. This game is great, the pace is relaxed but also addictive and fun. It also makes you think too allthough it did get a bit complex controlling 50 states. Anyway a great game for unwinding and also to test your battle skills.

First class today and it was really fun, I think I am addicted allready to salsa. We had a good instructor too, he made it really fun for everyone. Anyway I am really thinking about doing intermediate and advanced as well.

well now I am at 48 states, just 2 more to go and I am done. I do wonder if the 50 state goal has any North American influence? I have had some of my ships go down recently which is really annoying, I do wish that I had built more ships and armies in the earlier part of the game.

I am now going into editing and this process is harder than I thought, a little more taxing too because I love doing the creative stuff. I do have a good editor so that is good, will probably spend all of this week editing chapter 2.

Well now I am at 46 states with just 4 more to conquer. I think I have taken the brunt of my opponents aggression now and I am slowly strangling this guy. I am seeing now just how important developing strong armies is and having them placed strategically on the map.

well a small step but I am signed up to Salsa dance – yay!!! this will be a challenge but I am looking forward to it

editing begins on Friday with a friend of mine, it will be exciting to get another persons perspective.

I am in control of 41 provinces now, just 9 more to capture and I have conquered! I am realizing that I really should have made more units earlier on as I am a little hamstrung now with small armies just trying to defend what I have rather than being able to swamp the enemy.

Well the start of this process is working out my budget of course. working out how much I need to sustain my humble existence. As much as I hate budgets I do need to be accountable with what I have and draw limitations where need be, assess my priorities and the like.
