Success and Alpacas...

Success:
Wow! I can see a huge difference now in my weight loss. Between going to the gym 4 or 5 times a week (alternating weight lifting with cardio), and doing Tai Chi class, and eating better, I can see that 30 pounds have gone away over the past months. My doctor visit this past week had me beaming.

Alpacas:
Oh my God! These Alpacas are so cute and friendly. They also make great fiber for knitting and could be a business for me and my wife in the near future. We visited an Alpaca farm in Brockport a few days ago and learned a lot about the animals. They are a camelid and they do not smell bad (they poop in the same place - even multiple animals use the same place). A 'fiber' male can go for about $700, but if you want to get into the breeding then you pay upwards of $15,000 for one! It is important to keep them company with other Alpacas since they are herding animals. See our photos at this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2029415&l=0a005&id=70605834

I hope to write more regularly since this blog is supposed to be DAILY and this past entry was a week ago. :-( So, expect to hear more from me.
