TRAVEL, HEALTH AND OTHER ASSORTED TOPICS
My health is really good and I am very lucky to have minimal disabilities and there is even an occassional perk. I had a Bronchoscopy and got a little legal high. It was the point where we get when drinking when you KNOW you would fail a Field Sobriety Test but know another shot will take you to a "better place". The "better place" was a camera down my nose in to my lung. But there was nothing to explain the spot they see on the CAT scans and lung ex-rays. I'm not sure what the next step is - a trip to Vegas, maybe.

EXERCISE
After successfully avoiding every form of exercise other then exerting the energy required to play a slot machine for 56 years, I have finally surrendered.
There are some among you who will minimize my "work out". If only you had access to my head - you would realize my 1/2 hour a day of walking is equivelant to your 3 hour, in the gym, strenuous workout with all that fancy equipment.
It starts when the alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. "It's too dark and it's too cold out there. Let's stay in bed another half hour and walk tonight when we get home. Let's walk a half hour this afternoon at work. what if you get mugged? . . ." It goes on the entire time I am getting dressed and then, once outside. "Oh my God it is cold and dark out here. Do you have your phone? What if something awful happens and everyone you try to call is still asleep? You don't have any cash in your pocket. What if you get mugged and the mugger gets angry because you don't have any money? What's your oxygen saturation? What if you have no oxygen?"
And then, I start to walk!

TODAY'S WISDOM
If we were to walk in the woods and a spring appeared just when we became thristy, we would call it a miracle. And if on a second walk, we became thirsty at just that point again, and again the spring appeared, we would remark on the coincidence. But if that spring were there always, we would take it for granted and cease to notice it. Yet is that not more miraclulous still?
Baal Shem Tov
And, because everyone is a clown - my friend Ed Neilson's version
If we were to walk in the woods and a spring were to appear in our step, we would call it too much Starbucks. And if on a second walk, if we had more of a spring in our step, and covered the same area again more quickly, we would consider cutting back on our Starbucks. But if that spring in our step were there always, we would take it for granted and cease to notice it. yet is that not reason to drink decaffeinated?
