May 6th

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……

May 5th

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…

May 4th

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…

May 3rd

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…

May 2nd

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….

May 1st

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…

April 30th

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…

April 29th

Well….a pretty fun day yesterday with drinks with T and lots of great conversation and laughs….but the weather is still depressing the heck out of me…when is it going to stop raining? I do have things to do today so that is a plus and I need to get the Wings gear on since the second round of the playoffs start tonight….I’ll update the sports stuff later in a separate post….man…still can’t get the brain working very well and I’m not sure what the problem is….need to go out for supplies today and get some more groceries…I should get some chips and dip for the game tonight…it has been a tradition when we get together to watch but I don’t really need the salt or calories so I probably won’t…okay…it’s not working right now so I’ll stop before I get too much more embarrassed…more later…

April 28th part two…

Well….I haven’t done a part two in quite a while and this one has a purpose….I just haven’t been able to think much today with the stories coming out of the deep south…so I watched a movie this aft and it was one of the worst ones I’ve seen in quite a while..”Due Date” with Robert Downey….not funny and they never let you like either of the main characters; almost shut it off more than once and that never happens, or rarely…..I have been feeling crappy all day and I think it may be that I’ve gone a bit too far in trying to cut down on the calories…only about a thousand yesterday and burned about 600 of those on the bike…always feel sluggish when I do that so I’m trying to make up for that today but not having much luck….but, you really don’t care about that, do you? I am looking forward to hanging out with T tonight and that will make 3 days in row out….kinda looking forward to Friday night and staying home to watch the game….okay, that’s enough for now….

Some thoughts on the tragedy…

Well…just wanted to get out a short one about the tragedy that unfolded yesterday in the states of the south….where over 200 people were killed and entire towns destroyed by the tornado outbreak there. Just wanted to send some good thoughts their way and hope that this country does it’s best to help them…..I can’t imagine what it must be like to have everything you’ve worked your entire life for gone in an instant…there is a picture of the devastation on MSNBC.com that broke my heart…in it, there is a man standing by himself in the corner, looking out at what I expect are the remains of his home….
