A couple of observations (Blog 10 of 30)

Something occurred to me the other day...... I went a whole summer without using my baseball glove.

This is the first summer I can ever remember when that has happened.

To make matters worse, other than the little loop I did behind the house to make sure it was ready to go, I did not ride my mountain bike at all this summer either.  Like - not - once!

There was a time in my life that if I did not play baseball or ride my bike it would have meant that I was dead!

When I was in my early 20s., I remember watching older guys who said things like, "I used to play ball but....." and think "What on earth is wrong with you????"  

AND NOW I AM ONE OF THE OLD GUYS!!!!  A geezer!!!!   A gummer!!!!  (Sniff, sniff!!!)

So here is my plan....... I am going into training!!   I am going to run 10 kms/day..... ride my bike for another 7...... then play squash...... three rounds of Frisbee golf (All summer I kept saying I was going to go play on Estevan's new Frisbee golf park but no one would go with me)..... and I am going to walk the dog three times per day.

Then again, all this typing has made me sort of tired.  I think I will just go and watch some TV.  I don't want to over do it.  I am getting old, ya know?  :)

On a serious note:  If you are interested in playing squash this winter, let me know.  All my squash buddies moved away and I am looking to start playing again.  

PS.  I am a very gracious winner...... I may need to work on the losing part some.  :)

Hey - you likely saw this on the internet somewhere already, but I am re-posting it just in case you missed it.  

To be clear, I am not a Jimmy Kimmel fan.  In fact, I never watch talk shows at all.  However, I think this is interesting.  

It says something about wanting to belong, or the power of suggestion or something.   Have a look.
