"Interlude"

That's the part in the play or the performance when everybody takes a little break from the serious stuff, and perhaps they play a little light music.

I'm appreciating this little interlude in my Ironman preparation, and for my music I'm just humming to myself.  

I fully intend on taking it real easy for the entire next week, and then once the Bay Race is over we can get on with Act Two.

Of course part of me is worrying that I'm wasting valuable time, but that's just the stupid part!

Today I didn't do anything, except eat, and visit with Miguette, Alisha, Jonathan, Colby, Kylie, and of course Roo.  We had tacos!  Life is good!

And I thought I could let it go by, but in the end I'm gonna succumb and mention the passing of my dear friend Fred Phelps.  I wish Fred the very best in the next world, and wish also to thank him for his contribution.  I absolutely believe that maniacs like Fred are good for our society.  The very nature of his absurd preaching compels all reasonable people to turn away, from his way.  And I happen to believe that the vast majority of the worlds people are reasonable.  So good night Fred.  I hope you meet my God because my God will take good care of you, despite the way you lived your earthly life.  

After all Fred, no matter what I think of your "preaching", you have certainly lived a life of sacrifice.  How painful it must have been for you, that despite all of your efforts, the world progressively, and consistently went the exact opposite direction to what you were advocating.  I hate to tell you this Fred but….EPIC FAIL buddy!!!

Oh and I also put a light on top of my flagpole today, cause I like my country a lot.
