Well… no cocktails last night so I feel okay this morning but I think part of it is that the Wings won in a come from behind victory over the Sharks last night and they are still alive in the playoffs….it was an okay day yesterday but I am a little concerned about a left hamstring that started to flair up with some pain….we’ll see when I go out on the bike this morning. It is odd to not have a race to nap through Sunday aft and it was kind of boring but I can take it with the weather getting nicer. Not much to do today…I think we’re moving Tuesday to Monday and that will work out well since I think I may want to go out to watch part of the game…have I said I hate the NHL and Versus? I do get to watch last night’s game today, but it’s just not the same…with the clear head I have this morning, I will get at least two topics out today…yay, I’m half way there…more later…

Well…waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d do my duty and get one of these out…you know the pattern on the weekends, I always promise I’ll get another one or two out but it rarely happens…so don’t plan on it today but there is always hope. Yesterday was one of those days where I just didn’t know what to do with myself so I didn’t do much of anything…a great long ride, though. Found out that another one of the kids is moving out of state and I can be nothing but happy…I’ll give updates as it unfolds…not much to do today…since it’s Mother’s day, I don’t think I’ll see anyone or do anything other than take a bike ride…there is an F1 race on and then the Wings later…and I hear the coffee has finished so I’m going to watch the race and read the paper….more later…

Okay…got the ride in, made lunch, and the first half of Man U and Chelsea is over so I can get on to other things…like paying the cell bill and getting more of these out….oh, Man U is up 2-0 at the half and, since it’s my team, I’m happy….felt really crappy when I got up this morning and you and I both know the reason for that…the Wings game is on frickin Versus again so another time where I can’t see what might be Nick’s last game until tomorrow when the re-run is on the NHL network…might have to go out and watch part of it…well…I’m going to go back and read the paper again to get a topic for the day…nope, already have it but need to let it ferment for a while….more later…again…

Well…it’s Saturday so you know I’m going to be late….but if I’m always late, doesn’t that mean I’m on time? Wrap your head around that one….it’s an existential question that I really can’t answer or won’t….it was a pretty nice day yesterday…the Wings finally played one but I couldn’t see it since it was on Versus…what the heck is the NHL thinking? Do they want to grow the sport or kill it? It’s the same thing that Indy car did when it went exclusively to Versus and now the series is dying since no one can see it any more. Oh, yeah, right….this is supposed to be about life…I did splurge and make myself a normal breakfast this morning…there just is nothing like bacon and eggs…..and I’ve already read the papers and had my coffee so I’m ready to get the bike ride in and then come back here and get at the leaning tower of newspapers that has now reached such heights that it is taller than me when I’m sitting…there could be real danger here of serious injury if the tower falls over….not much to do today….might go out and have a belated Cinco de Mayo with K later and there is a race on tonight but I will have a hard time filling the rest of the day…maybe I should clean more…or maybe get a couple of posts out…who knows? More later….

Well…a quite busy day yesterday…I had finally had enough of the filthy car so I cleaned it from top to bottom…and then it rained and made it dirty again but that’s what life is about…little disappointments and all you can do is just sit there with a bemused smile on your face…..I think I did figure out the inability to write lucidly is related to my efforts to be a nicer person….it has taken the edge off and now I may have a decision to make…either continue on this path and not be able to write or take a few steps back and restore my abilities….yeah, I know what you are going to say…you never thought I had any abilities…but if that’s the case…why are you here? I don’t know either…..I did have work to do around here after the car and it was quite nice to not have to try to defeat the boredom for a day….not much to do today…I do have the grocery run and a bike ride for the morning and then the decision whether to watch the Wings play tonight…I’m so disappointed in their play that I may watch “Fringe” instead….or go out and do something…there will be topics later so come on back……

Well…I am really depressed this morning since the Wings lost again last night and they are almost out of the playoffs…oh, well…it is only sports after all….other than that, it was an okay day yesterday with having a couple with G and getting a nice ride in….I do feel a little crappy with the cocktails last night but I may survive it…we’ll see. Burned some sugar that leaked out of the foil I was cooking ribs in and this place stinks quite badly…hope it’s going to be warm enough to open the windows today and air this place out. Not much to do today…..I need to heal up for a while this morning and it looks like it is going to be sunny so a 20 miler should be in order….I will get back to the politics today and get a couple out…I hope…

Okay…I know I’ve not been as prolific as usual but I don’t know the reason yet…I wonder if it might be that I’ve stopped talking politics to anyone for my own mental health or maybe the distraction of the Wings games? I think I do need to take this more seriously…or not, who knows? As you can tell…I’m all over the place today…I did get the car cleaned and a workout in already so that’s an accomplishment isn’t it? I still feel like I’m just idling in my life…I wonder when I’ll run out of gas? I will get to another one today after I get the bike ride in…but I have to have lunch first so that’s what I’ll do now…

Well…it was a busy day yesterday with lunch with T and the out to have a few with C….needless to say, I feel a little crappy today…nope, let’s make that more than a little crappy…let’s make it medium to medium high crappy….and I know part of it is not eating…but you know that’s been a problem for me for a long time….but, I’m not going to complain about that right now since I did stop and get food to cook today….I’ve had a netflix movie sitting on the counter for a couple of days now and you’d think I would have enough time to watch it but I haven’t….maybe today but who knows? Not much to do today…should have a couple with G later and then holding my breath waiting to see which Wings team comes out to play today….and, since I do feel crappy, I’ll end here…more later…

Well…Monday was Tuesday yesterday and it was fun out playing pool…quite weird games, though where only two of the eight balls went into the right pocket at the right time….still fun, though and I was a good boy when I got home…no cocktails, just water, so I feel okay this morning. It was quite a bore after I got home…another of those nights where you just can’t wait to go to sleep to get the day over. Not much to do today…lunch with T, then maybe have a couple with C later….going to be good again after I see C and take it easy to give the liver a rest and cut down on the calories….not sure what the weather is going to be like but I do need to get out on the bike…all of the pain is going away and I have over 200 miles in already…need to pick up the pace if I’m going to get to 3K this summer but I really don’t have anything else to do…more later…

Well…woke up this morning to the good news that Bin Laden was killed yesterday…..it’s about time that this thug was brought to justice…but, since the body was quickly buried at sea, we are going to have Trump, Palin, and the rest of the right wing idiots saying it is a lie and the news is faked to get Obama’s poll numbers up. Can’t wait to hear the repubs twist themselves into knots to give the credit to ole GW…..

Had a good day yesterday but the Wings lost another one so it took a little out of it….had a few with the twins and V later in the day but that followed up over 20 miles on the bike in the morning and worked up a sweat for the first time really….felt quite good but I am sore today….didn’t sleep well at all last night getting to bed really late and then up quite early…no cocktails so I feel okay but I know I’m going to need a nap since today is Tuesday on Monday and I’m going out to shoot pool this aft….other than that, not much to do today….more and more resumes and I hope another long bike ride…I will get to more topics today since I feel my head is clearing…more later….

Well…as you have already seen too many times, running late again this morning because I read the paper and had my coffee first instead of doing this….but I’m here now and I need t get this finished so I can get out on the bike before 9….it’s already 62 degrees so I’m going out in a t-shirt this morning…couldn’t go yesterday with the 40 mph gusts…it’s just no fun to pedal as hard as you can and stand still. Took the day off yesterday from doing anything…other than vacuuming the couch and turning the cushions so I’m ready to get some stuff done today…and the bike ride will be caffeine fueled and I hope will make up for being lazy yesterday. I am a little disappointed with the Wings losing the first game but it was a fluke goal so what can you do? May be going out to watch part of it with K today so I need to find the gear and get it ready…other than that, not much to do today…I do have some thoughts on the neutralization of Obama that the repubs are trying; the same old playbook they used with Clinton and I’m getting tired of the lack of respect….more later…

Well….stayed up late to watch the Wings game and had a couple of cocktails so I’m feeling crappy and running late….and, while the body has come alive, the brain is still waiting to start so this one is going to be short…I did have an okay day yesterday but didn’t really do much…and today doesn’t look much different….probably going to just hit the couch for a while and have some ice water until I feel better….more later…

Okay, I’m back..and feeling significantly better…I did try to take the bike out but with the gusts getting up to 40, it was just a little too much…it was so windy I coasted the half mile back from where I gave up…and that is flat ground…kind of like having a motor on the thing. Not much to do today..for some reason, the Fox Soccer Channel is no longer blocked so I’m just going to watch a few matches today and just veg out….I have been making progress around here in keeping it cleaner so that will be a part of the day I’m sure….have a stack of newspapers that have to go too since they kind of unnerve me sitting in my peripheral vision as they do….more later….oh, didn’t go out to get the papers today so there may not be another topic….I did get over 60 for the month after all…
