This last Wednesday I worked the shoulders with the weights. Usually my left shoulder tightens up causing immense discomfort but everything stayed loose. A hopeful sign. Any positive change I consider an advance in my overall health. Been doing a bit of yoga every now and then. Misao bought a book and DVD at an after Christmas sale. That could be part of it.
The Winter Olympics are coming. Short track skating and the sledding events are some favorites, not to mention the biathlon among other cross country events. The snow boarding is a big favorite too. This is supposed to be the coldest time of the year. Often with temperatures well below zero. Looking at the heating bill I don't mind the thaw.
No riding today as it was already raining when we woke up, working late on weekends. I thought of getting up early and going to the Winter Race at Crystal Ridge to see if I could help and take some pictures but they canceled it and changed it to a ride.
A local talk show host was claiming that you need money to be happy. That you should find what you are good at and how to make money doing it. A lot of money. It got me thinking. What do I do the best? Being taken advantage of, being maligned and abused is one of the many things I do well. So all I need is a slew of lawyers. In my profession there's the spiked Pepsi, the format sabotage (and cover up) and so much more. My family... don't get me started. I hope they all enjoyed my fortune. Everything comes out over time.
But I worry more about my own short comings and pray for my enemies. All of them. Every day. And what I get back is more of the same. Being dirt poor I guess that makes me terribly unhappy and an outright bad person. And I'll never be a real mountain biker unless I drink beer, and I'm not talking that non-alcohol stuff. (no I don't drink beer for all you comprehension challenged ones)
So it is back to the job hunt. I brush up on iambic pentameter, work on some drawings for constructing poker tables and maybe work on a wall section or site plan, the endless house repairs. Not to mention trying to keep in shape and stay healthy. I thought of turning a piece of fiction on my political blog into a book. And no that piece wouldn't be the last chapter (and I'm not talking chronology leaps).
I should be taking more photos to post. Still have to get the 2009 photos onto my flickr page. But I did find a you/tube clip for all to enjoy.
