Just couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning. Works been something else.

Last of three public forums tonight for input on a potential bond issue. Not sure what I would put the odds at right now. The supporters don't really say a lot if they even come, it's mostly folks against it for a wide variety of reasons. Got attacked by a so-called friend Saturday night at a bar birthday party about the issue. Had to walk away - he explained it wasn't his responsibility as a tax payer to attend meetings put on by the board to obtain factual information, he got his "facts" by talking to others around town so he knew the "real truth". Can't support his facts because others would "get in trouble". Interesting approach. I simply left in my black helicopter.

Its a wonderland loop. I've been a writer my whole life. Started a five year journal on January 3, 1977. Glad entry on Monday, February 4th, 1980...
"Went to the Eagles concert at the Summit. Took Sue Armstrong. Road with Vel & Peggy and Mark & Susan. Forgot my tickets. Excellent concert anyway. Got loaded and had a fantastic time."
About half way from Pasadena to the Summit in Houston, with a van full of friends and a girl I was hoping to impress, I made the declaration that I'd left my 2 tickets on my counter. We turned around, a trip I'll never forget. Missed first half of opening act Shake Russell and never a second date.

Didn't think I'd be up for a run this morning - that long swim yesterday wiped me out. But, it wasn't too bad. Nice and easy. A couple before taking Gracie to swimming, and the rest after. Now, I'm just hoping the swim meet at Bellevue East tonight gets cancelled.
Westside has parents meet with homeroom teachers to finalize the kids' schedules for next year. Today will be my last meeting for Danny. Senior year, right around the corner. Man, I'm gonna miss that kid when he goes to college!

So awesome to be on the trail in the snowfall. Amazingly bright and pretty, and the temp was comfortable. Snow added some traction. For some reason I decided the only thing that would disrupt the peace of the morning was an attack from a mountain lion. I then became unreasonably fearful of an attack from a mountain lion. That's not a thing, right?

Anyway, did sort of a fartlek, pushed on hills and on the dam, and wherever I felt like it. It was fun.

BetzE Glad you had a fun, peaceful run in the snow :)

Started the morning with 45 min of body sculpting with weights and such--with Matt. Then, hopped on the StairMaster/StepMill (debatable title) for 60 min. Man. This was a workout. Didn't think I could finish at the speed I started, but I did. Also an effective tricep workout. Legs are shaking now, 4 hours later.

465 floors. Soppin wet.

Happy Snowy Tuesday.

Running - progressive treadmill	8 miles 01:00:41 (7:35 min/mile)

Progression run from easy effort to 10K pace.

Great interview with Ryan Hall on runnersworld.com if you haven't seen it already. Total class act, especially with his being dealt an incredibly tough hand in the last few years.

Rest in peace, Glenn Frey. Although he will be best remembered as singer/songwriter and co-founder of the Eagles with Don Henley, he was also a sensitive and tasteful musician. It was Glenn's aching piano that was the backdrop of "Desperado". And in a band with stunning guitarists over the years (Don "Fingers" Felder, Joe Walsh, Bernie Leadon), Glenn delivered the gorgeous middle and ending guitar solos on "I Can't Tell You Why". My favorite line that he sang was "You'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself" (from "Already Gone")--a song not even written by the Eagles, but Glenn nailed it with all the swagger and cockiness of Han Solo. I happened to watch "History of the Eagles" on Cox on demand about a year ago. It is a fascinating portrait of a talented band in turbulent times...making for some great timeless music.

Song of the day: "Take it Easy" by the Eagles.

getfuzzy Hotel of California is one of my favorite albums.

I have not been sleeping well at all lately. I don't set an alarm any more; I just wake up by feel. Usually that means I'm up between 4 and 5am. Today it meant 3:00 and me sitting in bed for a half hour before just getting up. Yuck.
