It's Been A While

This summer I've been going after fun for the most part.  I stop short of trying for total fun for 3 reasons;  1. I don't live comfortably at the place.  2. I've had 2 accidents on my bike already.  Broke my wrist on the second accidents.  The cast comes off August 30. in time for the end of the summer rides.  3. My liver function numbers are elevated.  I've had to get blood sucked out of me every week for the last 9.  

Summer because of it's weather is for out doors. Unless you live in the southwest and the temps are in the 100s.  For me, in Chicago, the weather has been good, a little rainy which made for luscious greens.  Just got back from a walk in the neighborhood park.  The part looks great.   Would've been great to be riding my bike these last 5 weeks.  So instead of riding around the north shore I spent time in the health club.  

Evanston Athletic Club (EAC) helped keep me in shape (some.)   Got me doing something other that walking in the park which I really like but it ain't riding.  There is also all those athletic women at EAC.   Way more fun than going for blood drawls.  Speaking of women,  this summer I had the pleasure of  the company of 2 great women. No!  I'm was only having sex with one of them.  The other has been a very good friend.   All this is part of the plan to keep my mind moving in a positive direction.  

It worked.  This summer has been good for me mentally had fun for a lot of it.  Now bring on the rest of it.
