R.I.P. John Henry
Tuesday, October 9th 2007
I made a trip back to Kentucky about this time several years ago. We lived there from 1978 to 1983 and I got hooked on thoroughbred racing at a time when the money involved wasn't so obscene. Anyway, I made a stop at the Kentucky Horse Park and spent some time with John Henry. I also stopped at Three Chimneys Farm to see Seattle Slew on that trip. Two fine horses from another time, now gone.More rain last night but I'm hoping it will be dry enough to get to the park later. Putzing aro...
Open Water

This week is starting off as last week ended: poorly. I didn't go to the park yesterday and I doubt I will today because any movement causes my clothing to move against my skin and the current humidity just makes matters worse.Since I'm already in such a funk I've been catching up on some of the news. I see this summer saw a record breaking loss of Arctic sea ice. I guess if Chris had made his voyage this summer he could have bypassed North American and made it to the East Indies. ...

Somehow, somewhere, I came in contact with poison ivy and why I have it halfway around my midsection is an absolute mystery. Regardless, it's been the cherry on an otherwise less-than-lovely week.Unfortunately I managed one additional downer last night, a wedding at the zoo. We shouldn't have gone for several reasons but we're fond of the groom, the son of my husband's friend and we were looking forward to putting some faces to the names we've heard mentioned frequently over the years.

Savoring
Friday, October 5th 2007
I'd hoped the Indians would win but never expected them to do it 3-12. It was a welcome distraction listening to the game last night and I'm still kind of dazed this morning. And what with the allergy fog it's just a damn good thing I'm not doing brain surgery on anyone today...I posted my weigh-in at 139 even though I don't have a lot of confidence in it yet. I figured I might as well make it a banner day: the Indians clobber the Yankees and I break 140 (sort of)!
When I did my CK...
Fog
Thursday, October 4th 2007
I feel as though I'm in a fog. Yesterday was windy and my allergy symptoms have been awful. I went to the yoga/Pilates class yesterday morning but didn't have much energy and couldn't wait to get home and take out my contacts. I finally gave in and took a nap in the afternoon and the rest of the time I was just sort of dragging myself around. With so little physical activity I'm still bouncing around between 139 & 140 on the scales.I'm hoping my trip to the park this morning will g...
