Well…it was too much racing yesterday and I don’t think I want to see another one for a while….other than that, I had an okay day but I am tired today and don’t really feel like doing anything…except trying to catch up with these but it looks like I may not make it to 60 for the first time since I started this thing…I will try but I’m not sure I can do it….there were no dreams last night or anything and I was up at 6 so that will mean a nap later in the day I hope…it is going to be almost 90 today and I may have to lie out in the sun to get some color….more later…

Still cheatin’…..
Well…I did not know how much I missed the bike rides until I got out on it this morning…it is such a mood elevator that after 3 miles I could actually smile again and started to feel so much better….the shifter is making me nuts but that will be fixed tomorrow if the bike shop is open….I am going to have to really watch it with the sun and the car since my head is already peeling from the test drive exposure and I really don’t need to get skin cancer from my car….there are still 1100 miles of racing to watch today and I’ve already seen two races…two more to go and I may even have a political one for you that popped into my head while I was out on the bike….
As I said, I need to cheat…
Well…I am five behind on these for the month and running out of days so I am going to cheat…and I’m not going to feel bad about it….have been looking at the radar and it looks like HL is getting drowned and I feel bad for T being up there for the weekend…I kind of wish it would storm here….but not in Indy since I do need to see the race….okay, going to go look at the radar again…nope, nothing in Indy so I have to get the bike ride in after Monaco….and it’s going to rain there in a minute so that will be neat to see….I did finally start to eat yesterday and that made this morning okay even with cocktails last night….okay, going back to the race…more later…
May 27th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and a cocktail night so I am feeling a little low today..but it is the day of the year for races with the GP2 race already done, then the F1 race is on in a few minutes, followed by Indy and then the world 600 later in the day…so you know what I’ll be doing today…I am going to try to wedge a bike ride in, too, since I fixed the flat but the shift cable is coming apart and I’m not sure if it will survive another day out….but, I am going to try it…but, right now, the coffee has just finished and I need to read the paper…more later…
Part two…
Well…with all of the events of this week and the resulting lack of motivation to do these, I find myself almost too far behind to catch up for the month so I’m going to do some cheating today….the car is growing on me as I drive it and that is a good thing..showed it to a couple of friends this morning and they were in love with it….I wonder if I should be concerned that it was a couple of gay guys? Nope….it is a cool car….I finally got to the grocery store this morning and got tons of foods in different varieties so I won’t be bored but I am still having the problem that nothing tastes good and I had to gag down a burger that I made for lunch…oh, well….I hope it does go away since I do need to eat…I may even skip the bike ride today since I haven’t fixed the bike yet and don’t feel like it….so, I think I’ll go back to the couch for a while and drink some more water….and wait for the race to come on…
May 26th
Well…it was a long day yesterday with picking up the new car and then out to have a couple with K…well…that’s not true, she didn’t have any since she is pregnant and I am so happy for her and J…..and I do like the new car…found out it has one leak by the drivers door but I expected many more of them and it can be adjusted so I’m not concerned….it’s not like the Fiat that leaked everywhere…still not feeling it today …I have been out for groceries already and it is before 8…had to get it done before the F1 qualifying comes on and it is weird to be in Meijers that early…especially after it being a cocktail night….more later…
May 25th
Well…running late this morning and it is not even the weekend…I’m not sure what it is but I am depressed again today and really just don’t want to get into it…but, I’m sure that will pass later this morning…it has been trying over the past week without a car but I am picking the new one up today and that will be a relief since the bike now has a flat and I am down to walking….that might be part of it but there is more to it than that….I think I’ll keep this one short for now since I’m not feeling it and come back later after I get the walk to the bank done…more later…
There is good news out there…
Well…I know I’ve been a little off this week with all that has been going on in my life which put the normal bitching about politics that I do in perspective…..but, after I get the car tomorrow and my life finally gets back to normal, I promise I’ll try to get back to my normal semi-lucid posts that I hope adds to the discourse. But, what I wanted to comment on right now is a neat little story that happened at a track meet in Walled Lake where a senior from one school, Walled Lake Lakeland, sacrificed winning the 3,200 meters to help a sophomore from Walled Lake Northern win the race and set his personal best time. And, this act was not planned, while in the race, this nice young man Garrett Zuk heard that Devin Kimberlain, the sophomore, was trying to run a personal best in the race, so he found him, basically said, “come with me, let’s go” and paced him to make sure that he did it….even slowing at the end to make sure that Devin won the race. Now, before you say he should haven’t thrown the race just for the youngster’s personal gain, let’s just say that the meet was already won by Lakeland so the only meaning for the race was the personal best time. It gives me hope when I hear these types of actions by youngsters…..good job young men!
May 24th
Well…it was an exhausting day yesterday…not really exhausting, I didn’t do much, not even a bike ride but I was exhausted all day and I’m not sure what the cause is….I did try to eat more since that would be the logical reason and that may have been it since I do feel better this morning…or it could be allergies since I pulled a muscle in my neck from sneezing yesterday that still hurts…I am getting ready to go out for the papers to try to get back into the normal routine and maybe the coffee will help…didn’t yesterday but I need to give it a try again today….more later….
Okay…had to add to this one after the bike ride…lost that vehicle, too, with getting a flat out on the trail and walking back 3 miles…but all I could do was laugh…I would have been surprised if it didn’t happen with how the last week has gone…..
This might not be political….
Well….I have been just trying to get my strength back all day without much luck but I thought I’d share this dream from last night before I forget it…and it is kind of political since ole Mitt is in it….okay, the dream was basically a set of vignettes where I followed ole Mitt around Michigan being an obnoxious jerk about all of his lies and blowing up the idea that he will move to the center if he is elected….got him so pissed at me that he that he had his tea party thugs drag me out a bunch of times and then barred me…but, that didn’t stop me and he and his followers got so annoyed that I was getting the press to start questioning as I was that they planted a bomb that I avoided but got the hint…..and then, I woke up at 4 and have been up since…I know, not really political but I thought it was interesting….I will try to get back later for another but I can’t promise anything…
