Life can be an adventure sometimes, and when it is you need to be ready. I walked several miles today—7 I think. That massive walking life is part of why I love being out here in the northwest. Walking is a daily factor of life and often the very reason to get up and out in the morning. The more I walk, the healthier I become, which is why I gained close to 10 lbs since this summer simply by sitting on my ass in the desert. It’s funny, may pundits act like Arizona is a wonderful place to retire, but Arizona is actively trying to kill me before I reach the age of retirement. I find such conundrums suspect.
Walking, writing, gaming. That’s really it for me. The first is me spending time with my partner and the other two are how I dedicate my alone time. I’ve always been comfortable with that. I occasionally question the way I sort out my days away from the work life, but it always comes back to those three things. Walking is largely about movement and spending time outdoors. Gaming is about getting lost in competition. Writing is about getting lost in other worlds. So, it turns out a great deal of my life comes down to getting lost or finding myself.
Some Thoughts:
- A quick glance at fantasy reveals that I am going to get screwed over by a player who, for whatever reason, decided to ignore the fact that he is starting someone on bye week instead of Barkley. The dude is a huge Giants fan, and that just makes me mad.
- The same kind of thing is happening in the home league, but it is to a purpose. One of my kids is throwing the game to the bot, because that puts the bot in the playoffs and knocks out a brother who has been getting stronger by the week. Well played, young man.
