Been a good day so far; I started it right by not getting out of bed till almost 9!  Ate some protein pancakes, watched tv, did yoga and recently got back from a 4 mile run that I kept at an 8:06 pace. I was glad for the run, haven’t ran in about a month and have unofficially retired from running, at least for the winter. But today is just too nice of a day, especially for November in Ohio.  Just got invited to play some tennis, they aren’t playing till after 5 and it is about 40 minute drive from where I live, thinking of finishing up painting the dining room walls this evening so I had to decline. 

Still very nice here, might have to go on a bike ride or something. 

Oh yeah the Browns suck!  They just blew a huge lead!

Here in Ohio it is a beautiful day! 

My day started at 7:00 am picking up several dozen donuts for a veteran’s day breakfast. My Legion Post serves free breakfast to all veterans and their families every year for Veteran’s Day.  It is a simple breakfast, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and sausage and gravy, oh yeah and donuts.  I know not the healthiest food, but if we were to offer cottage cheese and oatmeal I have a feeling no one will show up.  I’m the post commander and as commander it was my duty to greet each person that came in and to wish them well when they left.  One thing was consistent with each person I met whether they are 80 yrs old and served during WWII or young men and women returning from the current conflicts, they were sincerely thankful for this small gesture.  

This coming Wednesday is Veteran’s Day,  I won’t ask you to hug a vet, or wear patriotic colors or defend the current conflicts, but I will ask you to show appreciation to someone that is part of your life; you will be amazed how good YOU will feel.    

arrrggg  I took up tennis about 2 years ago and this year I have tried to play once a week since June.  I swear I have been getting worse lately.  Thats it… no more to say…just a venting.
