Start Date

Thursday night in Park Slope. Just got home from The Gate. Went down to hang with Jay and watch the end of the Rangers game and whatever else came on the TV screen. Decent crowd in the bar tonight. Not super busy but enough to fill the tip jar for one person working behind the stick.

Rangers got shutout at home by Ottawa. Not good. Knicks lost big, too. Also not good. I had three beers. One IPA, one Imperial Stout and one Pilsner. One too many. Two's my limit on school nights. Shouldn't beat myself up over it. Just need to drink some water before bed time.

Need to select a start date for the "Mackey's Healthy Challenge" sweepstakes. Sixty days of clean living. Thinking about starting monday on MLK Day and ending on St. Pat's Day. In honor of my former fave band U2. What do you think? Drop 10 lbs., workout at least 3x a week, healthier breakfasts (no more choco chip scones), more water, less beer, no ice cream, no Chinese delivery, no pizza, healthy foods at every meal. I think I can do it. My sweet baby is cheering me on. God, she is so beautiful. Got a new photo of her today and she is just gorgeous in it. Beautiful smile, beautiful face, amazing features. In my eyes, she's the most beautiful girl in the world. I truly believe that and mean it. Want to be strong and healthy for her. No matter what happens between us. I want her to be proud of me.

And I want to look good naked.

Love,
Billy
