Well…running late this morning and part of it is the snow we had last night that took the air out of me and shifted me into a lower gear…but I survived it and got the papers and I’m now ensconced here for the day with Man U playing right now and the first race of the year coming on later in the day. I just love the 24 hours of Daytona and Speed has 7 1/2 hours of coverage on today so that will give me something to watch all day…..I did sleep okay last night but it was cocktail driven so I don’t know if that counts or not….other than that, not much to do today…might have a couple with K later but I’m not sure about that…I am going to make another pizza today with a scratch crust so that will be something to look forward to…going back to Man U….more later…

Well….I have been thinking about politics for some time today and have had a heck of a time coming up with a topic that would mean something..I mean I could go off on ole Mitt’s Swiss bank accounts or his tax shelters in the Cayman Islands…but that would be an easy target that I have already touched on here and I just can’t get worked up about a repeat…I did go out for a bike ride today after the flat yesterday but I was on edge the whole time waiting for it to go flat again even though I put a new tube in it…but, it looks like today was the last one for a week or so and that may be good since I am sore everywhere….I could go off on ole Newt for his wild ass promise that he will put a base on the moon if he is elected….good luck with that Newt….you’ll never get that through even a repub controlled Congress when they won’t even approve fixing the crumbling roads and bridges that cover the country…okay….that’s about it for the day so I’ll say come back tomorrow and see if I get better…it’s almost 1500 of these…it has to happen sometime…

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool for the second week in a row so that was okay….I did have another flat on the bike yesterday and another 3 mile walk back here so I have new soreness to go with what is left from the crash…but that is getting better so maybe there will be no lasting damage….I was up all night last night with just getting to sleep for the final time around 3:30 but back up at 6:30 so there may have to be a nap later today….I need to fix the bike, too, so that means a trip out to get a new tube this morning….don’t want to miss the ride today since it is going to be almost 40….not much to do today…I have stuff to do around here so that will have to do it for the day….more later…

Well…another night with no cocktails but still no sleep and that is starting to wear on me a bit….and the wings looked the worst I’ve seen them all year so I am glad we are at the All Star break and the guys will get some rest….I did have some weird dreams after I got up at 3 and then went back to sleep…it included boats, 66 Galaxies, an some rich old fart trying to ruin me just because he didn’t like me….yeah, I don’t know what that means either, but it was weird and fun and that’s a good thing…as I said yesterday, I did crash the bike yesterday but the most damage appears to be in the left wrist today…it is making some weird grinding noise when I move it but the pain is really low so it is probably just a sprain…and I am going out again today since it is going to be almost 40…not much to do today…I do have to make the grocery run but that is about it…more later…

Well….it was another night but one with no cocktails so I feel better today and a little clearer….I did watch the big speech last night and there were parts that were okay but I skipped the repub response since I could write that one myself…taxes and government bad, class warfare good, job creators are gods…etc, and just couldn’t stomach any more of that nonsense…I will read it later in the papers just to see if there is anything new but I’m not expecting it…I did sleep a little better but still no dreams so I guess I’m still boring…I am going to try out the George Foreman that K gave me today but that is about the extent of the new stuff that is going to happen…I am going to clean again today since the papers are towering over my computer and I don’t want a landslide to cause any injuries…I am going to try to get out on the bike today but I’ll have to wait for later to make sure that the ice is melted….more later…

Okay…thought I should update this one with today’s happenings on the trail…crashed the bike big time on the ice today and I’m now sitting here taking inventory of what I hurt…there’s the left wrist, right wrist, elbow, and shoulder, my neck and my back…don’t think there is any permanent damage but I do need to get some ibuprofen and see….I’ll keep you updated…

Well…another long day yesterday and I think I’ll have to take a couple of weeks off to start to feel better…and I was up at 3, 4:38, and 5:30, so that doesn’t help. It was fun to see T and G yesterday so it was worth it, I guess…it was nice to get out on the bike yesterday but it looks like the last time until spring so I do need to take the bike over and wash it…but not today…not much to do today…I think I’ll make it a recovery day and skip the papers and coffee..it is still icy out there and I really don’t feel like chopping the car out…more later….

Well…I was right…I do feel like crap today and that is the major reason I’m running late today….and the major reason that I’m going to keep this one short…it was a long day yesterday with shooting pool and then cocktails last night so I’m gong to go back to the couch and drink some more water…I will be back to add to this one later…just not now…

Okay, I’m back and feel quite a bit better after getting a bike ride in and having lunch with T….I got back here on the bike just as the skies opened up but that really didn’t matter since I was already soaked and muddy from tire spray…it was so great to get back on the bike even if it’s only for one day….I will be doing another one here in a minute after I finish here so come on back…

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I had loads of fun so that was good…went out to watch the Wings game with a bunch of folks and then back here to wrap up the night…and got a call from G that was unexpected and I had the thick tongue disease at the time so I apologize for that one…K and J brought me a George Foreman grill that I really want try out but have too many leftovers so that will have to wait for another day….there were dreams but I don’t remember them, again, so I think I’ll stop reporting them….I do have things to do today…going out to shoot pool with Tom later and that will run into the rest of the day so I plan on feeling like crap tomorrow…just to warn you to not expect anything lucid tomorrow..I may comment on the shock of ole Newt winning in SC…man, this race is getting to be fun and the repubs are doing Obama’s work for him with all of the super pac ads that are running…so…maybe more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much…was supposed to have lunch with T but her day got away so we’ll have to reschedule….and the damn tv was going crazy last night so I had to drag out the 13 inch which was really weird…but it’s working again this morning so I really don’t know what is going on…I did have dreams last night but for some reason I’m not remembering them….okay, I can see the question…if I can’t remember them, how do I know I’m having them…oh, well…it’s about 8 degrees outside so I have to fire the car up here in a few minutes so I can go to Meijers and get the supplies I need to make homemade pizza…even going to make the crust from scratch….so, it was a cocktail night last night so I’m heading back to the couch for a few minutes before I head out…

Well…another night with a shootout win for the Wings and I am starting to get concerned that they can’t get it done in regulation…it was a cocktail night so I am running late today…didn’t even get out of bed until 7 and that is going to push my whole schedule back for the day since there is no way I’ll be out the door for coffee at 8…and it is only 9 degrees so the car will need to be warmed up for quite a while so I can shift it but I don’t want to do that yet…I did clean some yesterday but won’t do more of that today…I have a late lunch with T that I am really looking forward to since she will have stories from her vacation in the Bahamas…more later…..I need water and the couch…
