ああ、もうお昼だ。

メタボ検診の問診表のとっかかりに、一日一時間以上の歩行あるいはそれと同等のカロリー消費という項目がある。そして週に2,3日一回30分軽く汗をかくこと。
**********
午後。30分は歩行したと思う。45分かけて。汗はかいていないが、少しからだの冷えや寒さは感じず、体が温まった気がする。

Most of the youngsters who will be starting college this Fall were born in 1992. To help professors bridge that generational chasm, Beloit College prepares an annual list of cultural and technological touchstones for incoming freshman. Man, kids are weird.
Every year since 1998, Beloit has compiled the list as a "catalog of the rapidly changing worldview of each new generation." And what a strange worldview it is. Here are a few of Beloit's sorta-amusing, sorta-frightening findings that are relevant to our purposes:
1. Few in the class know how to write in cursive.
2. Email is just too slow, and they seldom if ever use snail mail.
10. A quarter of the class has at least one immigrant parent, and the immigration debate is not a big priority…unless it involves "real" aliens from another planet.
16. Korean cars have always been a staple on American highways.
19. They never twisted the coiled handset wire aimlessly around their wrists while chatting on the phone.
20. DNA fingerprinting and maps of the human genome have always existed.
26. Unless they found one in their grandparents' closet, they have never seen a carousel of Kodachrome slides.
27. Computers have never lacked a CD-ROM disk drive.
28. They've never recognized that pointing to their wrists was a request for the time of day.
31. The first computer they probably touched was an Apple II; it is now in a museum.
43. Russians and Americans have always been living together in space.
48. Someone has always gotten married in space.
62. Having hundreds of cable channels but nothing to watch has always been routine.
65. They first met Michelangelo when he was just a computer virus.

今朝はマルタイラーメンにベーコン、ホウレン草、卵などを入れて食べました。緑茶。パブロン苦い顆粒一袋飲みました。鉄50mg。
