You live in Florida, body

dog bite to the hand
Put my hand out, palm down, to offer the dog a chance to sniff me. Like i’ve done for 50 years. The puncture was not deep, but it did puncture. It was our new neighbor’s dog. I was in my yard and put my hand through the fence.

Palm trees and sunshine.

You know what this implies?

Warm temperatures.

Year. Round.

Yee. Haa.

Still cleaning up and hoping, body

Have waited patiently for new growth to begin.

It’s a slow process before visual signs say the plant is still alive.

Not unlike our physical vibrancy patience.

Here’s the insight.

Everything takes longer than you want it to.

For example, after a lifetime of trying to ‘walk into’ eight hours of sleep every night, i’ve finally been able to accomplish this for the past couple of years. Before that i had a good batting average, but now my batting average is nearly 100%.

Truth, i literally have never consistently got eight hours of sleep every night.

To consistently accomplish this for a few years in a row now has become a personal habit that i’m incredibly humble, and proud, to have achieved.

Note: Totally realize, and accept, this could change without warning.

Come Winter, it’ll be alright

Second photo yesterday.

Yesterday’s walk was 10 miles. Seven on the morning walk. Three more doing yard work. Spent 10 hours outside. Most of it shirtless. February. Winter. Perfect.

2016 Florida Senior Games

2016 Florida Senior Games Track & Field schedule
Today’s schedule of events.

 

The 2016 Florida Senior Games at Lake Minneola High School begin in two hours.

Need to leave home in an hour to get there 30-minutes before the Shot Put.

No need to warm up.

Haven’t thrown since that one time a few months ago, when i just wanted to establish whether or not i could throw in the 30-foot range.
