I'm glad I got a toilet, even if I have to clean it myself. Can you imagine heading out to the outhouse in this weather. As a kid I clearly recall having the occasional option of shitting in a pot in the back kitchen instead of going out to the one holer. I suspect that option was reserved for nights like this. And before you start thinking that the pot was a luxury, I must tell you this back kitchen was in no way heated. I don't know why it was called a back kitchen when it was really no more than a lean-to on the back of our log house. Regardless, I remember being grateful for it.
I think I must have been about 4 or 5 years old when we got our first porcelain throne, It was a momentous day. I can still picture dad carrying it into the house. And the timing was fitting for me, because that was about the age at which I started to think. It so impacted my life, that to this day I do my best work while 'sitting down', and if today's post doesn't contain much wisdom I think it can be safely blamed on a bit of constipation.
And if were indeed too cold to think, and if that were compounded by the lack of a toilet, and then further compromised by a lack of fiber in a mans diet, can you imagine? Under those conditions I would not have made it out of elementary school. All I can say is thanks Mom, for regularly feeding me green beans.
And while that bit of stupidity may not be a real excuse for not having a blog topic, it is never the less the only one I got.
My long ride was the usual boring event today, but I survived it without too much anguish. My book unfortunately ended half way through, and so I was forced to spent the rest of the time thinking. (whoa! thinking again) And if I didn't spend it on my blog it was only because I was considering all the problems of the universe. And although I didn't come up with any solutions I now feel well positioned for my next ride.
Tomorrow I'm gonna run again just to see what happens. Right now my achilles feels not too bad. Wish me luck!
