nearing sixty-one

oh I don't really mind! I'm hot! Sure was this morning when I tried to run about five miles - I was pooped! Well, my excuse? It was very humid out today. It was hard to breathe as I ran around a near by "small" one mile loop round.

But, I surely, purely enjoyed it as I ran with my girlfriend, rather I followed her. She is so much faster than I. I'm in trouble! I have a stubborn competitive streak. I hate to lose! Well, I got over it - hey I do it to myself!

Soon, I got over being left in the dust! But, I only need to drop a few pounds and push myself more. I plan to cross train with bicycling hills near by too.

It's time to go to sleep I can't keep my eyes open. I ran hard this morning. Then did some yoga poses. I know, I know, I need to remember to do the yoga poses first before I even put on my running clothes.

Showered afterwards then I played my saxophone. I love playing my saxophone! Then I sang and played guitar for about ninety minutes.

Now, after drawing and resisting the urge to go on line and buy pastel sandpaper I am heading to bed.

Life is great! I had a wonderful time with my girlfriend with weekend and was it every busy with riding bicycle both Saturday and Sunday morning for 30 miles each and then attending a deck party on Saturday evening and a BBQ on Sunday evening.

I love her - we are good together and we like the same things. I bet one day she tries playing golf too. Especially if her friend takes it back up again.

So I'm 60 going on 30 inside and out. I have no complaints! I am very blessed and thank my spirit guides for my magical days..make tomorrow magical too. Allow my talents to shine through my fears. So far right now I'm only entertaining myself, but I find that I can for hours with both saxophone and singing and playing guitar.

I theory and reason for taking up the saxophones (besides loving the sound) is to improve my breathing and therefore my signing. I find that I can hold tones longer and sing louder and stay on key. Life is great fun!

And what about politics - do I really want to venture into that area? Oh why not! Well, bottom line, we could have had alternative fuels in place a long time ago - we have the technology and bumper crops of corn for ethanol for years. But, bottom line, there just isn't any profit in it for the oil men so it's been dropped. Oh haven't you noticed it. As a society we could be for more economically and productivity farther advanced then we are right now. But there is no money in it for the oil men - which include your present administration and the Bush dynasty. Do your homework!

Life is grand and the air is dirty and we can't afford to buy anything but so what...the oil men are getting even more rich.

And here's the groups that are anti-abortion. Are you going to rise all these unwanted kids? And war is fine but abortion isn't I guess. In Iraq and Afghanistan we are killing innoccent civilians. That's murder people! But Christians don't have a problem with that do they!

So, Bush buddies allowed corporations to run amok and they just rip us off extremely in the health, finacial, mortage and everyone area you can think of. I'm sick and tired of idiots trying to rip us off. Where is the government by the people for the people? Hello! We elected you bums to serve us not get bought by large corporations. There are 33,000 lobbyist in Washington buying off politicans.

I'm done for now... too tired and porbably not making much sense anyway - but think before you vote. Or really, will it really matter? It's probably rigged!
