I turned 40 last week (March 27th). I can’t really tell much of a difference though, I feel as good as ever! Life is pretty good, I eat well and exercise so I expect to feel good for many years to come. The only difference I have noticed (and it didn’t happen all at once on 3.27.08), is that I am a little more conservative with certain things like my driving habits, finances, health, etc. This is a good thing! I did have one hell of a party though, and you should definitely check out the pics on my smugmug page.

Today was the grand opening of the outdoor pool at the gym, eFitness (if you happen to join please mention my name so that I will get something for free) and they were offering half price ultrasounds to measure body fat or body mass index (bmi). I wanted to settle the question once and for all as to how fat I really am. According to the $50 results, my average body fat is 24.5%, with the vast majority of it being in my right leg of all places!

I plan do to this test again in a couple of months to see if all of my working out is really paying off.

Hello there dear Reader. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Christopher Ryan, and this is my story. I shall attempt to write this journal in much the same style as Mark Twain in “Roughing It.” This was a very interesting reflection of a portion of his life which focused much on his travel exploits, but often digressed to other stories from his past.

I also intend to use this as a guide to my website, so the reader will find it riddled with links to photos in my gallery.

Before we begin, I would like to invite you all to see a special section in my gallery, which has one photo for each year of my life.
