Tuesday 04

Tuesday 04- I did my stretches and yoga, ran a mile, and lifted weights; yes I did it all again today but this time I did them at 7am in the morning and there was frost on the ground, yikes!
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 28 to 46 degrees, calm winds, humidity around 53 percent, cloudy skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 52. North northwest wind between 3 and 6 mph. Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 33. West northwest wind between 3 and 7 mph.”
I woke up at 5:30am and couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided to get up, do my exercises, and have breakfast. It was dang cold outside at 28 degrees when I went for my run. After I had my breakfast and answered some emails I went back to sleep until 12noon.
I yakked at Kelly for a spell and then went and did some work around the house.
Ron Dehart called around 2pm asking if I wanted to go get pizza with him; he’s the only other person I know who likes anchovies on pizza besides me. He picked me up and went to Pizza Hut in 29 Palms. I haven’t had anchovies on my pizza since I quit drinking back in 1982! It still tastes mighty good :)
I wrote my column for the Hi-Desert Star Newspaper and sent it in.
I watched two episodes of “Stargate SG1” number 2 and 3 I think.
Oh yes I almost forgot to say that I was outside until 1am in the morning last night looking for Quadrantid meteors. All the time I spent out there I only saw 5 or 6 of them. But they were very different than others I have seen; they had a distinct round glowing head with a smoky long pale tail that was slow to move across the sky and lingered for a spell. I saw three of this kind. The others I saw moved and acted similar to other meteor showers I’ve seen. And yes it was mighty cold out there!
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

29 years is a long time to go without eating an anchovy! Was there a reason you quit anchovies at the same you quit drinking?

Ya know that's a very good question Marahmarie, and one I'll have to give it some thought :)
I think at the time I was doing a lot of exercising and eating better foods after I quit drinking...

Pizza is actually good for you. It's just bread, tomatoes and cheese, so as long as all three ingredients are of high quality, you cannot go wrong. I always feel really good after I eat some pizza. And anchovies are good for you, too! And I adore them.

Well it must have been for some other reason. Okay, how about this one: I went vegetarian for a spell back then :)

Or (thought of this a bit afterward, sorry): you were avoiding foods that might trigger you wanting a beer, for instance. Classic tactic and actually a good one. For instance, if I were to quit smoking some day, I'd probably also want to avoid whatever "triggers" me to smoke (coffee, iced tea, eating - OK, I'm kidding about the last one - maybe).
