Well…yesterday was a day I’d like to forget…no, nothing earth shattering happened but it was one of those days where you don’t accomplish anything and then the guilt sets in….I may go out for papers today but I’m not sure yet…it’s only 6:55 so I don’t have to decide just yet….no sleep to speak of last night and I am used up this morning…maybe I can take a nap right now to help that? It may be that I need to eat more again or is it that I’m just getting old…I can hear birds singing outside my window and they are really loud…at least it’s not the doves who set up shop in the bushes outside my bedroom last year…cooing and other nonsense at 5 am does not endear them to me at all….not much to do today….I am going to try to get the winter clothes put away and some other cleaning but the way I feel right now, that might be a little ambitious…more later…

Well….it was a long day and I got a lot of work done yesterday but I fell asleep watching the b-ball game last night and that led to a very sore right shoulder this morning….so I should go get some ibuprofen to help that….and it is storming outside right now, which I normally like but storms when it is only 45 degrees is just not right….I do feel okay today even after going out with G for a couple and having one cocktail when I got back here….and the dreams were about races somewhere but the odd thing is that there was no human interaction at all even though there were crowds everywhere….not much to do today…I think I am going to make this a cleaning day…the fridge needs it desperately and the bathroom could use a going over, too…more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday with losing at pool and then having a couple of cocktails last night so I feel a little slow today….it is a little difficult not having T to talk to while she is away…but I think I got over the hump last night and the rest of the week will be better….had a shifter problem on the bike yesterday but I think I may have it fixed..we’ll see when I get out later today…and I put the rear tire on backwards when I put the liners in so I may have to take that back apart later and switch it…..not much to do today…I do have some things to do around here and I am skipping the papers and coffee so I’ll get started after getting the workout in….I do have some chicken that needs to be cooked today so that will be something…more later…

Well….it was another day off the bike yesterday since it was just too cold to go out without gloves etc. so I feel slow and lethargic today….and I know it’s not cocktails with only having one last night…I did go out to have one with K in the aft and it was good to see her…no dreams at all last night and I slept pretty crappy but that’s normal as you know…..okay, I need to make coffee and go out for the paper so I’m going to stop here and come back later….

I’m back for a few minutes and thought I’d get to what I normally do with these things….I did promise that I’d get to the nonsense going on in the Michigan legislature and I will later today but I’m not feeling it right now so I think I’ll do other things…not much to do today…I did get started on cleaning yesterday but the kitchen cleaner I bought has way too much bleach in it…I still smell it on my hands after a whole day of washing them and that is kind of bad….it was only two bucks so I guess I can just dump it…there are races on today which will make some good background noise for the day and I do hope to get out on the bike after 5 days off..oh, that reminds me, I should take some ibuprofen right now so the thirty miles won’t hurt as much…or maybe I’ll just do 15 to ease back into it….okay…that’s enough for now…it’s 9am and I’m already bored…and that does not bode well for a nice day…oh, well…

Well…another night, another Wings loss and I am getting concerned that we are going to go out in the first round of the playoffs this year….the one plus of last night’s game was the new tv….even when it’s not in HD, the game looked really cool and I am getting the adjustments on the tv right so the picture really looks great…I could follow the puck and see the numbers on the sweaters for the first time in a long time and that was pretty cool….I am running late today but you know that is normal for the weekend….got a text from T that made me laugh yesterday….she was sitting on the ground in Atlanta (on a plane in first class), and at 10 in the morning was drinking a Mimosa on the way to her vacation in Costa Rica….I did have some dreams last night but they didn’t seem important, just a jumbled mess of bad plumbing and people I didn’t know…not much to do today…I do have to clean and I already have laundry going so that is a good start….got the tire liners on the bike yesterday and can’t wait to see if they affect the ride at all…it will be nice to be able to stop thinking about flats all the time….and the walking back pushing the bike is no fun…I do have one on more shenanigans going on here in Michigan for later so come on back…you’ll like it…

Oh, forgot to say happy birthday to Eric Clapton…67 years old this week…

Well….it’s been a morning of complete vegiosity and tv and I’m not proud of it…but things like that happen sometimes…I did have one observation that I did want to share…and it is kind of weird but fits my skewed view of the world and maybe yours, too….when I was watching the new flatscreen last night, one thing struck me as being somewhat incongruous….while watching the old tv, the box itself has some depth and made it easy to suspend disbelief when the picture had depth in it, too…but, with the new one…and it’s 2 inches of depth…I find it weirder to allow my brain to think that the 3-d effect is allowable…there just isn’t enough depth there…yep, I know, you’ve probably never thought of that…and you’ve never had a problem with it…but that is what makes me so strange…I just look at things differently…and I don’t really want to change…

It is the first Wings game on the new tv tonight…I hope I’m not disappointed…

Well…it was a day yesterday but I didn’t do much with the cold and wind….I did get the tire liners for the bike and put the one in the back tire…will probably put the front one in this weekend and then I can stop thinking about getting a flat every time I’m out on the bike….I do feel a little excited with the Mega getting up to 560 million dollars and the cash value getting over 350 million…10 bucks to dream for the day is a pretty good deal….it was a cocktail night last night so I am feeling a little fuzzy this morning and I think I’ll stop here….T leaves for Costa Rica today and I am going to miss the many daily texts and the laughing….but I’ll live through it…more later…

Well…it was an interesting day yesterday with finally getting the new tv….a 42 inch plasma that just overwhelms my living room but is still pretty cool to have….at least it doesn’t turn green like the old one…and I turned the tv off for the first time last night in months…the old one would really turn green in the morning if I shut it off…so I didn’t. Now I need to figure out how to get the old one that weighs about 80 pounds out to the trash…can you even put them in the trash? Don’t want to put mercury into the environment if I can help it….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of and again, it was a no cocktail night so I feel pretty good today…but, T leaves for vacation and I’ll miss her like crazy…oh, said that yesterday, didn’t I? I do need to make the grocery run today and get back on the bike after three days off and my tire inserts should be here today so I can ride all summer without any flats…..I will be back for a long one later….

Well…it was an okay day but the second in a row I didn’t ride the bike with the wind gusting and it being so cold…I did lose at pool and didn’t win the Mega so I am a little disappointed…but the next drawing on Friday is going to be almost 470 million so I am getting into that one with 10 bucks….no dreams to speak of last night so I won’t…..today is new tv day and my anxiety level is rising quickly as I debate with myself whether I should spend the money or save it in case the car dies or some other emergency happens…but the hockey playoffs are going to start and it would be so cool to see it on a 42 inch plasma…..so I guess I’ll agonize all morning, work out, and then make my decision….not much else to do today…i am going to get out on the bike today and hope I don’t have another flat before I get my tire liners tomorrow….I will be back later for more since it is getting to the end of the month and I do need to make the goals…more later…oh, one last concern about the tv…it may not fit in my car….

Well…it was a relatively nice day yesterday with having a great lunch with T and then out to have a couple with G later in the day…and it was a no cocktail night so I feel quite good this morning with the Wings just crushing Columbus and playing like they are almost ready for the playoffs….T is leaving for vacation in Costa Rica Friday and I am going to miss her like crazy…and I hope her back is better before then so she can take advantage of the ocean…I am already moving around and getting things done since I have a lot to do today…I skipped the bike ride yesterday since I didn’t want to have to get the thermasuit out again…I hope today will be warmer so I can get the ride in before I head out to shoot pool with Tom….I have decided on a new tv…a 42 inch plasma that is on sale for under 400 bucks…and I am going to go out and buy it tomorrow..so there will be lots of watching over the next week…maybe that will keep me from the crushing boredom….I hope the tv is not too big for this place….more later…

One thing I did forget….with the Wings win last night, they are in the playoffs for the 21st straight year…a truly remarkable accomplishment…maybe I’ll do one on the Wings later…
