That Yankee game was a bummer in both senses that they lost and it wasn’t so enjoyable to watch

wanted to go for a run but no breaks in the rain

still its great to have the local team in the big show this year

have to make time to try that vietnamese sandwich (bahn mi?) soon

flipping thru a lifetime fitness book and it seemed to offer nothing new on first glance but

further reading has chanced upon a couple new ways to look at things

it seems to be geared towards fitness professionals and I’m thinking if that profession

could have a sea change like say meterologists have had in the last decade

what a momentous turn society could take in this next generation

but the stats are agin’ us with over 60% fat or obese

yet if many people chose to balance out their lives with some stress busting exercise

say over the next 2-3 years

which I believe will be quite taxing on our nerves

as the economy see saws a bit

and we won’t know to be optimistic at just the wrong times and

hopes will be dashed as things seem to be recovering and its safe to wade out into the deep areas of the economic waters again

experimenting with dawn simulation and white and blue lights on a timer

its supposed to ward off SAD but sitting in front of lights seems like such a bore if you can’t fit in some other activity

so with dawn simulation I’ve got a timer and some LEDs fashioned together to light up the bed area about 30 minutes before my alarm goes off

it does seem to work, I awake better and sometimes I don’t need the alarm

but I have it aimed up and reflected back down on me off the ceiling so that its not so intense, but after another week or so

I might turn it around and see how shining directly feels

funny how its something from a 1960′s spy movie that I found so cool as a kid

and now I get to play with it

the jet setting, woman in each port, world saving lifestyle could be cool to live for a few months too

but that’s hollywood

NYC is a pretty good approximation of the world, but without airport delays

and we get most of the climates

I gave a girl a christmas present today as

I am notorious for present giving without temporal relevance

or in other words time and dates are such an inconvenience when you discover a great present

and in the other cases you get inundated with presents anyhow on your birthday, holidays, etc anyway

and the lack of a present then is nothing compared to the addition of a random present on say any given Wednesday in October

and its the type of present that lets her create presents for others

so some advance timing before christmas works out too

hmm is that Euro turning down or is it gonna break upwards?

that’s what makes it so interesting – it takes on a personality for a while

then morphs into something else for a while

or sometimes runs along in one direction for months

missed a great move this week as work intrudes on my focus

but there’s always another train leaving the station

just that that train produced 150% in the span of  a lunchtime

liked Peaceful Warrior, both the book and the movie

what was it again? Mystery, humor, and change…

reading a couple books I bought a while ago but neglected when life got busy

one on kaizen, and another on mindfulness

and realizing I really need to write down things more…

as I had one of those moments when seemingly disparate things came together in

a true moment of clarity

well here’s to new trade setups, meeting some new and interesting people, letting go of the need to control the future, and maybe some natural sunlight tomorrow

but the blue dawn comes up right on schedule over my bed now.
