Up early for a vacation: 7:00 AM. I am so ready to do some programming. Breakfast was adequate. It's sausage, eggs, bacon, grits and a biscuit. Is grits a southern thing. It's not bad. It's edible.

Then it's off to start the programming. For those playing along, we did the first five chapters of Aaron's Cocoa Programming book. I've already did it, but the code is on my mini at home, so I miss all my programming tricks to do. I like Cocoa. Anyway the class so far has been an introduction to Cocoa. It's just what you can do with the tools and the framework. I have some experience.

I also asked Aaron about my application. He tells me it may be over my head. Whatever. How hard is programming? Not really hard. You just have to know how things are put together.

We also get food and lodging. The food so far is okay. Everything tastes good. The deserts though are awesome. I thought that I would lose some weight while I was here, but I am eating a lot and drinking plenty of soda. The accomodations are cool. It's at Banning Mills, a restored paper mill. I keep thinking that there are ghosts around here. It gets dark in the room, and some noises creep me out. I wonder if the ghosts will ever come around.

We also went for a hike. I am out of shape as I felt it going up a hill. This summer's bike riding will be brutal. Hopefully, when I get back, I'll be training and lose these extra pounds.

"Spin" has been a fun read. I am almost half way through it.

Sleep.
