Thursday Morning Musings, Falling In Love W/ Speed Skating Edition

Bonjour amis.


I hope that you all made it over the hump and have landed safely here on Thursday.

Big ups to E-ve for coming over to visit last night. It was a great way to end a long day. We chatted and laughed and smiled and cuddled and it was the awesome. Just like she is.

Also big thanks for all of her help planning this weekend’s getaway. I’m excited.

It sounds like Jake and Romeo are getting excited as well, and that makes me happy. I haven’t seen them in far too long.

I am falling in love with the sport of speed skating. It’s fast, competitive and has 2 different disciplines. Long track is so pretty to watch with the athletes showing pure power and speed as they travel around the oval. And short track has tons of excitement. The racers are flying around the track, shoulder to shoulder with other skaters, no pads other than a helmet and taking corners so sharp that they have to put their fingers down to steady themselves. Watching them pass is a thing of fright and beauty as crashes at high speed can happen, but when executed properly it is perfection. It also helps that Canada is pretty good at the sport and are picking up a few medals in Vancouver.

I could really use a few sales today before I take a 3 day weekend. So if you know anyone in Toronto, send them my way.

I could also use tips on new job opportunities in Toronto. I’m not super worried about the money my friends. At this point if I can find something that makes me smile and puts close to a couple grand in the bank a month I’ll be well ahead of where I am now.

I’d like to thank Reba McEntire for influencing so many of the female country artists that I love listening to now.

Today is my 3rd straight 10 hour shift/ 12 hour day so that I can have 3 days off in a row. That’s the way things go around here. Get used to it.

Good luck to everyone who is now on day 2 of Lent and giving things up. I hope that it’s going well so far.

I wasn’t able to give up pancakes as I had left overs with peanut butter last night for dinner with chocolate milk on the side. It was very tasty.

Does anyone know of anything awesome going on in Peterborough this Saturday? E-ve and I are looking for plans. wally.z1.0@gmail.com or www.twitter.com/wallyzblogger

Is there a Country 105 dance somewhere maybe?

I’ve got designs on writing a bunch today so I think I’m gonna call this a wrap.

Have a great day friends. If I don’t post over the weekend don’t fear me dead.

Like wham!
