- Last night I picked up my new mountain bike (woo hoo!) which my mechanic really hooked me up on. I had to skip spinning to pick it up and discovered that on Tuesday nights about 20 road bikers and triatheletes gather on the sidewalk in front of the bike shop and have their own spin class. They bring their bikes and "trainers" on which they mount the rear wheel of their bikes. The trainers provide resistance and as you shift gears the resistance changes. Anyway, it was a very energetic healthy group and I participated for about 30 minutes of the hour they ride. It was very high energy and a tough workout - one of the toughest I have done in a while. I am for sure bringing Beth back with me next week!
- I have been clicking with a lot of friends new and old. Some I talk to once a week, some I see once a month, some I see and talk to several times a week. I am meeting new ones all the time and really have a group of people with whom I find a lot of common ground. It is very uncommon for me to go a week without a lunch schedule with someone. Even those who don't live around here I am able to maintain a good connection.
- The best is that all my friends bring really beautiful gifts - stay tuned to a new blog from me called "People I love". It is going to be great! It will probably be this weekend or next.
- This morning on my drive to work I attempted to change my attitude regarding politics from disgust and fear to fascination. I mean, the worst they can do is destroy the world right? And, the universe is much more than our world and the life of the universe will go on. Heck I am going to die someday, why waste my life, brief and beautiful, on expending emotional energy on politics? George Bush isn't worth it. I can use that energy to love friends and family and create a beautiful life for me, my wife and our friends.
- Work is intense right now! I like it.
- This week has been very full, coming back from a week on the road, not a chance to even decompress before jumping into the week, talking to my friend for two hours on Monday night, quality time with my wife last night, a nonprofit event tonight, a going away party Thursday night. Friday night is relaxation baby!
- I am composing a VERY long blogpost from my weekend. First I have to learn how to do a "show more" type post.
- I am not in bad shape right now but not in the best shape either. These next two weeks will be a focus on getting in better shape.
- I need to go to the dentist. I also need to start flossing.
- A woman I met who was lined up to move to The Netherlands 30 years ago for a job googled the guy who was to give her that job who she hasn't talked to in 30 years and he may provide some job seeking advice to me!
Ahh, UNIVERSE, you drive me crazy!
