If you recall, my prediction of a cold winter came about when I decided not to build a rink. It's all my fault that its gonna be 20 below again tomorrow, and this freakin wind tearing at my back door makes me feel colder just listening to it. Of course you city people don't know what that's like, but don't think that means I'm envious of you. It just means I think you're warmer.
And tomorrow I gotta go running again, come hell or high water. Just a short one though, so no worries. I don't mind 45 minutes in a blizzard!
The nasty weather has me thinking I'm ready to go curl up with my book, so that will be it for today. Right now I'm grateful that my children and my grand children are all off the roads, so I should be able to rest well. Adrian spent half of the day parked on the 401 east of Oshawa, so I'm glad he's safely getting drunk at his friends place in Kingston.
And speaking of nasty weather I was glad that my workout was in the basement again today. That has worked out nicely for me more often than not, as relates to the weather. I gotta tell you that my computrainer was perhaps the best money I've spent in my life. I'm not ashamed to tell you that it cost me almost $2000, because I've already gotten 10 times that much value out of it. In my past life, the 3 1/2 half years that I've had it would have cost me about $22,000 in beer and smokes!!
Oh, and the workout itself was tough but good, as I continue to focus on gaining strength in the aero position. I can't wait for spring to see of it actually males a difference. I feel optimistic!
And speaking of past lives. I've been working, and paying employment insurance premiums, for more than 40 years. Today, for the first time in my life, I filled out EI benefit forms, and they're gonna start giving some of it back. Or, I suppose I should say to you, as participating members of our great society, "you're" gonna start paying it back. Damn, it's good to be a drain on society! Thanks for having jobs my friends and family. One thing I found amusing about my long record of uninterrupted employment is that it qualifies me as a "long tenured worker". What that means is that the only jobs I have to take are ones that are the same as the one I had, and the pay for which is at least 90% of my previous salary. What's funny about that you may ask???…..Hah!! There's no such job!!!
And some time earlier in this post I told you that I was all done for today. Now I mean it!
Well except for my poetry
It's cold outside,
but not so cold.
That even the wind,
can make me feel old!
To have a warm heart,
it's gotta be told.
Is more important,
than silver or gold!
And sorry my friends,
if that sounds quite bold.
But on this little truth,
I'm totally sold!
…I feel like chuckling like Janis Joplin does after Mercedes Benz...

I'm glad you're finally making the rest of us pay for your training. It's about time! Enjoy it; it probably doesn't last forever. Love, gail
