"And on the Third Day"

He started to go nuts!

My life is made up primarily of working, working out, family time and leisure reading. Today is my third day day in a row without 3 of these staples. Of course my family's in Canada, and I'm not! My training is in a somewhat planned down time during my trip, and I forgot my freakin book!

Right now I'm seriously questioning my decision to take the redeye home tonite even though as always I'm anxious to get back. I am way early in the Mexico City airport just because of the way the work day went, and so I have some serious time to kill. With no grandchildern, no wife, no workouts, and no book! And I don't really drink anymore so that option's out too.

Whatever to do? I guess it's a good time to practice finding my inner peace eh? Yah Ok...but...all by myself? And without my usual vices??

Thank the good lord in heaven that I got an Internet connection in the airport. Otherwise I was going to start walking home! It's only about 3000 kms if I swim across the gulf of Mexico!
Once I post this I will also try to do some work, even though the environment is hardly conducive to it. Oh yah, and I'll eat so that I don't get shit from Claudette.

I am excited about running Around the Bay on Sunday. Grampa Brett has committed to run with me no matter how slow I go, and so that will be a nice experience. I'm gonna let him do all the talking since he's used to having to do all the listening...eh Teresa?

I wish to dedicate day 190 to Tim Maloney, a friend of a friend who is battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. May the cancer gods favour him!

I know violence isn't the answer, I got it wrong on purpose! I like the one about breaking things in order to clear the way.
