Hope it was a wonderful Christmas for you

Happy New Year too!

Commuted on my bike on the shortest day of the year

Got a little rained on on the way home, but it wasn't bad and totally worth it.

Muscle memory

It is amazing how I can nearly always buckle my seatbelt rapidly without looking down and have the latch plate slip right into the latch without any fumbling at all. I guess if you do something enough, you get very precise at it. Makes you appreciate all the work that musicians, artists, surgeons, etc. have to put into their crafts to do them well.

Was a total slug today

Oh well, I will try to get to the gym tomorrow.

Cold after Christmas!

According to the image below, the week after Christmas has a very good chance of having temperatures equivalent to the coldest 20% of temperatures recorded for this time of year over Michigan. Big changes coming.

Why does such good work out music have such bad words?

Great pumping iron playlist on Spotify that I used for my workout yesterday, but I tried not to listen to the words too much. I've always listened to songs for the music first, and often couldn't tell you what the song is about. that can obviously be a problem if the language or message is bad and I am listening to it in front of my kids. I wouldn't be surprised if there is also a subliminal effect even though I am not actively listening to the words.

Let me know if you have good heavy workout music that I can listen to that is clean as well.

Ted & TJ at orthopedic care

Ted for knee, TJ for chronic ankle issue. Great bonding experience!

Cold Halloween

But pretty productive for the kids.

Super Bowl time

Nice to be feeling good and watching the game with everybody. There is no doubt that I'm feeling better than I was this time last year. I need to remember this whenever I feel down again.
