Good surprises

Good surprises are, well, good.

And sometimes good surprises are great.

It’s easy to think each year in my 60s, will be a little slower than the previous year.

Fewer summits.

No new summits.

Less miles.

Fewer adventures.

Easy to let a closed mindset creep in…

Hey dude, you are not gonna be as physically vibrant this year as you have been in the past.

And then i remember last year’s (2021) final day at Logan Pass.

Remember how i wasn’t going to hike and then decided to do a ‘fitness test’ on Mt Oberlin….

Demolished my previous ascent record by eight minutes.

We shall see what the Universe has in store.

Longevity alleviates pressure

Longevity alleviates pressure.

Nothing to prove after writing 25,000+ blog posts.

An artist is free to make their own rules.

Outliers are free to appreciate or criticize.

Luck favors the bold.

Luck also favors the prepared.

Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy at Massage Envy (ME).

ME has a new meaning based on yesterday’s 90-minute therapy session.

It dawned on me yesterday that the reason for the two to three massages a month is because of ME.

ME…Massage Extravagance.

Meanwhile there is continued daily bombing of Ukraine, a rising civilian death toll and an astronomically insane refugee count (over 3-million and growing).

It is easy to feel guilt and embarrassment during the physical therapy sessions.

But then the ME (massage extravagance) reality that ME (Massage Envy) was inappropriately charging me every month for 24 months.

What began months ago, well before any sign of war, was just a guy trying to use up the two-year’s worth of credits that ME refused to refund – not even refund half.

Been in and out of running (slowly) pain-free. When a pain flareup happens, Michelle does her therapy magic on the hot spot. So far it’s working.
