Morning MusIc from Tinsley Ellis
The other day I was listening to Bluesville on Sirius-XM hoping to find some new blues music. Rather than finding new music I rediscovered an old favorite. Shemekia Copeland was the DJ and she played a track from Tinsley Ellis’s new album Ice Cream in Hell set to be released next month. From his website…
Tonight, I finished Torpedo Juice by Tim Dorsey it is the fifty-second (52) book I have read in 2019. And while I will finish well below the goal of 72 books read I set at the beginning of the year, I will have at the least read one book a week for 2019. Which I think is always a great accomplishment.
So the other day I looked back at my Fitbit workout log and saw that the last time I ran was November 6th. The reasons for not running are numerous, cod weather, windy weather, and rain days. However, the main reason may be increased babysitting of my grandson Logan and granddaughter Zoe.That may also be a convenient excuse for being lazy!
So over the last many months my go to lunches have been Indian cuisine from Trader Joe‘s. I particularly like to have them when I’m babysitting my grandson Logan all day.
So I succeeded in avoiding running all weekend. My excuse Saturday was it was too cold in the morning. Then in the afternoon we babysat Logan while his parents took their new puppy to obedience training. After that there was College Football as I watched the end of the Gators game, followed by the LSU-Alabama game. The Georgia game ended the night.
Last week my wife and I had a discussion about how many books you can read at one time. The discussion arose because I had said that one of my co-workers had joked the other day, he was reading two books at the same time. He of course knows I read more than one book at a time regularly. Anyway, he said he was reading Michael Crichton’s The Lost World and a nonfiction book about World War. The following day, he commented that Black Jack Pershing was fighting a losing battle in The Lost World!
So it was 24 degrees outside when I got up this morning. Being the fair weather runner that I am I decided that if I run today it will be later this afternoon. I decided instead to just do a light workout. Maybe a little less strenuous than if it were only workout for the day but a little harder than my normal pre-run workout.
So I think over the last few months I think I’ve slipped a little as far as my diet and exercise regimes are concerned. I think part of the reason is I believe the pollen season has been a little longer than usual. I only noticed a drop in the pollen levels within the last week. As I am writing this I just checked the pollen levels for the week. Today is moderate but low for the rest of the week yeah!
