Well…had a fun day yesterday but lost at pool again for the 5th time in a row and it is starting to get a little old…but that’s okay…it was good to see K and Tom and get out of here to do something other than ride the bike. I don’t feel so hot today but I think it’s more that I didn’t eat enough again.. a chicken leg, some roasted potatoes and a salad just isn’t enough when I’m doing over 20 miles a day on the bike. I’ll try to do better today but I just can’t work up an appetite….not much to do today…I was going to go out and buy a suit today but I think I’ll put it off until tomorrow and just rest up a little…Keith is back today with “Countdown” and I’m really looking forward to it…I think I’m skipping coffee and the papers today…I’ll have to get used to that if I get a job so I might just as well start now…more later…

Well…it was kind of a nice day yesterday but I really didn’t do much…I did watch a good little movie called “The Company Men” with Ben Affleck that really hit home…about how the recession hit a bunch of people who thought they had it made and how they coped with it…a subject that I’m all too familiar with, unfortunately…but let’s not talk about that right now. Didn’t see K yesterday but that might happen today when I go out to shoot pool with Tom…I guess Sunday is going to be Tuesday this week…just a little joke that Tom and I have….I think it’s going to shock both Tom and K when they see me without facial hair today….I’ve had at least a mustache since I was 18 and I still think I look weird without it…but younger so that’s okay I guess. Not much to do today…it’s about 8:30 and I am going to get on the bike here in a minute…will probably make some salmon for lunch since it is one of the foods I’m supposed to eat…it was weird that I read about a study int he paper this morning that said if you eat salmon or other fish, you are 39% less likely to get Alzheimers….and I think that would be the ultimate hell on earth..to lose yourself into the fog of dementia…and riding the bike is supposed to help that, too…so, I may be back later for another one but you know what I do on the weekend…

Well…I know I promised to get a couple more out yesterday but I had a pleasant surprise the took me off track…I had a phone interview that I think I went well and the job looks like it would be one that I would be really good at and pays quite well…and it is here in GR so I wouldn’t have to commute…so I celebrated last night and I’m going to continue doing that today and tomorrow…going to even spend some money today on a steak since I haven’t had any red meat in a long time..gonna grill today…yay….I know, I don’t have the job yet but I have hope that finally some good things are going to happen…..not much to do today….still haven’t met up with K in a couple of weeks so that might happen today but, if not, I am going to get 40 miles in on the bike and clean some things around here…and even though I’m excited about the job, I’ll get a couple out later today…

I wonder if I’ll have to rename this thing? I did shave the beard off a few minutes ago to look younger and get the grey hair off the face..looks pretty weird…I just noticed I don’t have any lips…or any wrinkles which is pretty good for an old guy…

Well…getting started early today and feel pretty good so I will be going out for coffee and papers today..yay….had a good day yesterday but didn’t do much but the normal workout stuff…there are brand new aches and pains to deal with…I was wondering where the chronic pain was going to be this summer…last year it was my right elbow that hurt all summer and this year it looks like my right wrist is going to be the place…more tendonitis but the grinding and popping is kind of funny when I can hear it….yep, little things make me laugh…not much to do today…might have a couple with K later and I know I need to start finding other things to do to relieve the boredom some…but that’s my problem…I will have at least two more for later today since I’m behind in the count for the month…

Well….out with G last night and then I was not good when I got home so I’m running late today….and I don’t have too much to say right now so I’m not going to say it…have to let the brain fire up for a while so I’m heading back to the couch for a glass of ice water and some veggin…going to skip coffee today since I just can’t warm up to Biggby…well…I’ll think about it for the next half hour or so and then decide….more later..

Okay, I’m back after getting the exercise I needed to clear out the fog and I feel quite a bit better….the bike ride was fun but the sunglasses fogged up when I got going…it rained a bit, too, and it was not bad even though it was only about 60…I am going to try to get another one out but skipping the coffee and newspapers takes away most of my topical information for the day…so I’m going to get to the online news and see if there is something there…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a lot done plus laid out in the sun and got some color…I discovered that “the Song Remains the Same” is on Netflix and I may have annoyed my neighbors some with playing it through the stereo…I didn’t have it up that loud, though, so I hope I don’t get a complaint letter from the management. I had a bunch of ideas for posts last night but I don’t remember them..I should have done a placeholder I guess. I hope I’ll remember them later today…not much to do today…need to cook some of the 10 pounds of chicken I got yesterday for lunch and then just the normal stuff…out with G later, too I think, but that’s about it….more later…

Well…I was extremely good last night and I woke up today full of vim and vigor…getting through the night was kind of a chore, though, but I did get a lot of stuff done…got the bike maintained, did the dishes, and cleaned some more…boring, huh? Oh, well…even Netflix is starting to be boring so I think I need to start figuring out new things to do…I was so desperate last night that I re-read the Sunday paper and was looking through every corner trying to find a book I haven’t read in a while…I thing I may need to talk to T to get another bag o books to get my brain working on every level again…I think it did that once but it’s been a while….not much to do today…I do need to clean up the car since the pollen and dust on it is about an eighth of an inch thick and the old thing just looks better clean…that’s about it, though and fighting the boredom is going to take some creativity that I just may be able to muster…more later…

Well…a normal Sunday yesterday with races and just taking it easy…one of the best F1 races I’ve seen in a while with rain, crashes, and a run from the back to the win for Jensen Button…didn’t do much else but cook and I think I have the foil pouch chicken zeroed in finally since it came out great…moist and tender…yummy….not much else the rest of the day and I think if I add up the sleep between the ups and downs, I only got about 4 hours…I know that’s not sustainable but still don’t know what to do about it. Maybe tonight will be better…not much to do today….I do have work to do around here today so I just may be busy most of the day and that will help…I am finally getting the winter weight off and the goal of 160 looks attainable in the next month or so if I keep up the work…at least that is something I can enjoy…I will have at least one more for today but I’m not sure if I’m going out for coffee today…still can’t warm up to Biggby but it’s the only place out here so I guess I’ll keep trying…more later…

Well…a relatively nice day yesterday that I just enjoyed with not a lot to do….it has been kind of cool to have the 24 hours of LeMans on all day so I could see racing whenever I wanted to…and having cable internet let me live stream it when it wasn’t on the tv…so, I’m still watching it right now for the next 30 mins and then out for a bike ride…but I think I’ll wait a while since it’s only 51 degrees and that is a bit iffy for going out in a t shirt….not much to do today…still haven’t heard from K this weekend so maybe today…if not, there are three races on this aft that I can watch and I do have some work to do around here so I won’t be too bored…just a little…I did get three out yesterday so I’m not sure if there will be more today…we’ll see…more later…

Well…it was a good idea to take the day of biking yesterday…my legs were turbocharged this morning and I did the longest loop without tiring…it just makes me feel so good that I can still do this stuff at my age…58 is creeping up on me…okay, not creeping but coming at me like a freight train and it is becoming easier to accept the changes that come with it. Oh, that’s not where I was going….have been trying to reconcile the loss of anger with being able to do this and have come to an idea that maybe the changes will help but might make the topics somewhat different. After all, none of the screaming I’ve done here over the last year and the 962 posts have made a damn bit of difference to anyone but me. So, I may start trying to be a little more introspective and talk about real things about life…and I do have the idea that I’m going to start another novel that will be about the weird but great childhood I had….oh, I guess that won’t be a novel since it really happened…it will be called “Sledding on the refrigerator door” and that will be one of the chapters that will deal with the creativity you need to have to have fun when you are poor….I’ll put another category at the top for you to click on and read what I have started….
