Chewing The Cud

From the awesome mind of Anonymous:

O Lord, grant that we may always be right, for Thou knowest we will never change our minds.

With the official beginning of fall occuring a couple days ago, I find that I am ready for the change in climate, more so than in past years (perhaps it was the summer of sweating away at the house in STL). The extended forecast here in Elsah is puts lows dropping into the 40’s by week’s end. I like weather that can be described as brisk and crisp. Plus the insects are going away for the next few months!

Unrelated story of interest just in - I did yoga for the first time yesterday. No surprise here, but I am highly (in-, un-, non-) flexible and so the positions were…interesting. Looking forward, though, to continuing yoga and increasing strength through flexibility.

I have this strange feeling that I am quickly becoming an eXtreme sports enthusiast. I went rock climbing for the first time EVAR Sunday and had a blast. It is quickly evolving into a weekly ordeal with several buddies. Now if I can just get them skydiving, we can really go somewhere with this.

The Plan: Go around the world skydiving. Land at the base of a mountain. Climb that sucker. Base jump off the top. Rinse. Repeat.

Well, The Plan is still in alpha; first I have to conquer climbs higher than 5 8. Anyw00t, I’m probably going diving at the end of the month and hopefully I can con a few friends to go as well. Want to go? Let me know!

Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the gods. — Socrates
