Well…I won’t politicize this part of my post today…I’ll keep it just life stuff and thoughts…another night at home but that was okay….and I was not completely successful staying away from politics and the news. I do need to get out and vote this morning but I don’t know if the address change form renewing my license in July will have an effect…if so, I’ll have to move to another polling place. Luckily, it’s in sight of this place so that will be easy. Not much else to do today…there is lunch with T that I have been really looking forward to and the normal morning routine. I did make G’s rib recipe again yesterday and I am still amazed at how good they are…and 4 lbs of ribs really go a long way when you are eating alone….as the day goes on, I’ll relay any changes in the darkness…okay, that was political but, I’m a political person so what did you expect? More later….

Oh, I do forget to pass this along…have been trying to reset my metabolism by eating more…1200 calories a day is just too little when I burn off about 900 from my fitness routine…it is really weird to eat 2500 a day but I am going to revel in it for the week or so it takes to get things back to normal….and it feels a lot better….but it is strange to gain weight on the limited diet…there hasn’t even been any beer since last Thurs…

Well…another boring night here..no drinks with G since she isn’t feeling well and this will make 4 days in a row home….I do have to start finding new things to do… was on the phone with my daughter for a while and may be going to Aruba next summer if the kids mom doesn’t want to go….hmmmm…tomorrow will be 5 days home since we are moving Ada back to Wed for this week….I think there is something like a little black hole in this place..it just keeps sucking me in and keeping me here….I have been avoiding the news today and will probably keep doing that tomorrow even after I vote…looks like lunch with T tomorrow which should be fun but I am getting some whiskey for tomorrow night…and probably watch movies to stay away from the disappointment the I’m gong to feel…and feeling like crap going out to Ada has been done before…successfully, too….no more later…it is 8 after all….

Well..another month starts and with the election coming, I just want to cover my head and sleep for the next two years. But that’s not for this part of the post….I’ve been sleeping pretty well while I’ve been sick but now that I’m starting to feel better, it’s back to the same old fitful stuff that is normal. Oh, well….I had hoped that a new pattern had emerged but it doesn’t look like it. There wasn’t a lot to do yesterday…you didn’t see that one coming, did you? But, I did get the living room cleaned up and all of the spiders are gone…at least in here but I have to keep that up today and finish then move on to the kitchen. Not looking forward to that….

My back has been killing me with the pain running down my left leg when I sit or bend over but it’s nothing new and I guess I can just live with it until it gets better….not a lot to do today…looks like it’s going to be cold so no bike ride until this aft…maybe out with G later but I’m not sure…but that is about it. I will have a topic for later, of course, this being the last day of political rationality that we’ll see for the next two years…more later…

Well…just a short one to relay some trail weirdness today…it was a little cold but tolerable when the sun was not behind the clouds…but, not cold enough for what I saw…a guy changing into a Santa Clause costume on the trail…nope, no joke, he had his bike parked and was finishing off putting the beard on when I went by….no other costumes, even though it is Halloween. But, isn’t that weird enough? It made me smile at least and I forgot how cold it was for just a couple of minutes…

Well…another month gone and not really anything to show for it…it hasn’t been that bad, though, I’ve had a lot of nice bike rides and have gotten cable internet that is really fast so that is a plus…I’m not going to get into the maudlin stuff of time passing, etc. You and I both know I’m getting older but everyone does so it’s not really any revelation. I do feel a little better today but had a slight setback yesterday afternoon where I felt crappy again. Must be a bug of some sort…

Not a lot to do today…had the huge disappointment of both Michigan teams losing yesterday but it was not unexpected…and having Fox sports back for the Wings was a plus…and they played well finally…it was cool to see Pavel back at his best and Ozzie having at least a reasonable game. Not much to do today…might have a SF if K didn’t go out and have to much fun last night but she is a youngster so she should be able to go two days in a row, right? There is also the Lions and Talladega on this aft so I won’t be totally bored even if SF doesn’t happen. So, on that note, I’m going to get to the other online papers that I read on Sunday mornings….might even find a topic for later…who knows?

Well…I hope I didn’t depress you with that last one but it was something I had to say…and you’ve seen me that way a few times so you really shouldn’t be surprised…but I am going to move into hunker down mode here for the next couple of years…and I do have hope that maybe, just once, people will surprise me and do something good with a bad situation…but just a little hope…I am a pragmatist after all. Oh, great news…Fox and Dish folks have settle their differences and I have my Red Wings back…but I have mixed emotions about it because it was forcing me to to go out amongst people to see the games…and I’m alone enough as it is…but, I will indulge in Ken and Mickey tonight here since the Michigan game is on at the same time and it’s kind of nice to hear the commentary. Going to make a pork loin roast in the slow cooker today…and then just clean this place up some…have another spider invasion since the weather has gotten colder and it is somewhat unnerving to have them in every corner again. That’s about it for now…I have a couple of topics gestating in the brain….oh, and I forgot to pass on that I am feeling better today…I think the bug is passing and taking the weekend off from beer is going to help…more later…

Well…still feel pretty crappy today but I know now that it is a bug…and I just have to wait it out and I’ll feel better…at least I hope so…I did go out and have a couple with K last night to watch part of the Wings game…they really looked bad and lost to the Coyotes…but it is still early in the season so that’s okay. Not a lot to do today except the grocery run and that is a good thing…I think I’ll end here for now….more later…

I’m back and still feel crappy even after the bike ride and lunch…just so tired I can’t stand it…so, I’ll guess I’ll take a nap and then come back later and get to a couple of topics…

Well…felt like crap all day yesterday but I think I actually have a bug this time…not just he aftereffects of pool night in Ada…at least that’s my story…and I do still feel kind of crappy today with a slight fever and coughing a lot so maybe I’ll have an excuse to not do anything today but take it easy…as opposed to most days when I don’t have an excuse. The chairs did survive the wind yesterday and I didn’t have to chase them…geez…this is boring…I’m even bored writing it…so, what to do?

Not much to do today….again, but there is a Wings game tonight that I’ll have to go out to see…and I do have a few things to so around here…will probably start working on maintaining the bike since it’s raining and I’ll probably take the day off…okay, my brain is not working at all this morning…so I’m going to make some breakfast and come back later…

Well…out to Ada yesterday and feel kind of crappy today…so this one is going to be short for now…was planning on staying in for the day but have to go out to get some chicken stock to make today’s food…but I really want to just stay on the couch…yep, the depression is back with a vengeance….crap…more later…

Okay..feeling better after coffee but I need to get the workout in and then try to take the bike out…but the wind is already pretty strong so that may not happen…I’ll be back in a while to continue this…

Back again…sorry for the depressive first paragraph but that’s how I felt then…but I’m feeling better now after I got the bike ride in and had some lunch…the bike ride was really quite unusual with the wind blowing so hard but it was not as bad as I expected….just shifted down a few gears and took it easy…and now I have the prospect of taking it easy the rest of the day staring me in the face…and I don’t mind that stare at all…maybe more later…

Well…are you getting bored with my life yet? I know I am especially since I only have things to do about once a week now…but I do have Netflix that I can watch online now…still have to try to limit it to one movie a day, though, or that’s all I’ll do and I don’t want to veg that much. It was quite a boring day yesterday…did go out with G for a couple and that was a nice diversion…I do have more work to do over there this morning but that will take all of about 15 mins so it won’t be much help for relieving the boredom. I don’t know what happened about the whole being happy thing…I had a couple of weeks where I was quite happy but it’s gone now and I’m back to where I was…and I don’t know how to get back to happy…weird….but, I’m used to being like this so it’s no great surprise. I guess I’ll keep trying to figure it out. Not much else to do today…have to get a few resumes out and then figure out what I want to cook…and then out to Ada, I think, to shoot pool. Might be seeing T later in the week but I think it will more likely be next week since she was traveling last week and you know how swamped you get back at work when you’ve been gone…more later…

Oh, look down…I wrote one about McConnell before this one…yeah, out of sequence, I know…
