Bubba, I watched a docu...Inspiring stuff, Tuirgin!<br /><br />Bubba, I watched a documentary not long ago that was as inspiring as what Tuirgin just wrote about, called <i>Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead</i>, about an Australian corporate head honcho who goes on a vegetable juice diet and meets a truck driver in the States whom he inspires and who eventually loses like 250 pounds. Very very inspiring, even if you're not interested in such a hardcore weight-loss regimen. I teared up several times during it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736768855641666746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799965540934175685.post-49698034180047043102011-11-15T19:35:34.597-06:002011-11-15T19:35:34.597-06:00What would Santa be without the Maker's Mark?
...What would Santa be without the Maker's Mark?<br /><br />Melancholy is a daily reality. Some days depression, especially when the stress is flying.<br /><br />A year and a half ago my step-son totaled my wife's car. The insurance wasn't enough to get us anywhere close top a replacement. Wer bought bikes and she started riding to work. Then she started doing triathlons. She's lost 90lbs. She's gotten first place in her category twice now.<br /><br />Me? I started riding to work three times per week. She still smokes me, and I've not lost much weight, but those mornings I ride the melancholy is almost gone and I feel good and energetic. It was a fight to get out and ride for the first several months. Now it's a habit, though it still takes some effort of will.<br /><br />Glad to hear you are feeling better.Tuirginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081067215683168015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799965540934175685.post-16121323262454846382011-11-10T08:43:51.962-06:002011-11-10T08:43:51.962-06:00Yeah, I second that emotion. Good to hear from you...Yeah, I second that emotion. Good to hear from you again, Bubba, and to read your clear, unpretentious, journal-like entries. But what a bummer you'll be as Santa Claus if you have to pretend to be happy.Peter Weissmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961649179039241933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799965540934175685.post-43392321719794626782011-11-08T20:58:49.283-06:002011-11-08T20:58:49.283-06:00WOW.
You know, Bubba, I came over here the other ...WOW.<br /><br />You know, Bubba, I came over here the other day just to say hey, you doin' okay, but damn if I didn't! Next time I will. I've experienced some of what you've written about (not about Santa Claus, the stuff at the beginning of your post) and I know how sluggish and difficult it can then make life be.<br /><br />I'm thrilled you're back, and I'm impressed you're writing honestly about this stuff. Writing can be a good way out.<br /><br /><i>Blue Velvet</i> is the bomb. I've never seen <i>The Big Lebowski</i>, though. Suppose I should.<br /><br />I've got a surprise for you. Give me a few minutes (or hours or tomorrow in case I get distracted after posting this) and I'll show you ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736768855641666746noreply@blogger.com
