My desire to be outside on days like this is slim to none. Cool, cloudy and about to get wet again. For the time being I’m imagining a warm summer morning midweek with nothing planned for the day and I grab a beach towel, flip flops, camera, keys and wallet and put the top down and point the car east for a few hours till I hit sand and the Atlantic Ocean.

But back to reality I turned on some good music, and my day is looking up. Just called to wish my best friend a happy birthday. I got talk with my daughter which always makes my day. Anytime I hear my kids voices my day is a good one. And I’ll see my son tomorrow, so the weekend is a great one.

This getting old thing is starting to wear on me, and I’ve got to get busy on turning back the clock on the body. This is going to take both time and effort as any good thing does. So, I pulled out the dumbbells and started working. Strength and tone are the starting point. New rule, for every 15 minutes sitting at the computer a set or two or three on the dumbbells.

I like listening to music when I start to get out of sorts. It usually puts me on a better direction. Then again sometimes I remember using it to really pump me up. Nothing like some aggressive rock and roll to kick in the testosterone and adrenalin rush. Good for workouts now.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• As happy as I was yesterday about my accomplishments, I’m that unhappy today with my lack of progress. I still have 5 hours left to turn it around.
• The older I get the more a cold rain makes my bones hurt.
• There is only how you use the next hour. I might nap on that thought.
• I must stay away from the ice cream tonight.
