Yeah, I'm back and somewhat better than ever - down at least 30 pounds from my visit last year. So that's good, right?
In fact, I'm 30 pounds lighter from the beginning of the year, it's amazing what watching what you intake while exercising daily can do for your body. It also has helped with my outlook on life and I do believe I have a little more energy.
I did have some draining experiences getting into the country however, apparently the laws change up here a lot or something, but I didn't have the correct paperwork filled out - not my fault, I promise - and I had to come back the next day to sort things out and get my passport back.
Nothing like being in a foreign country without your passport, even if it is Canada, one of the friendliest countries ever! I'm not saying that for fear of deportation either, I'd have to do some sort of heinous crime for that to happen now or stay past March 16 which won't happen because um, it's cold here. Oh and I have a plane to catch on the 14th.
Anyway, just thought I'd throw those few words down because well, to be honest, I'm bored at the moment.
Enjoy your day!

Sitting in an Airport
Watching time fly by
being very thankful
thatI'm not flying standby
Okay, enough of my attempts to rhyme, I mean yes it rhymes, but I don't think it counts when it is essentially the same word. Oh well, I'm not a poet and I do know it.
I am currently sitting in an airport in northern Kentucky, also know as the Cincinnati International Airport. Cincinnati, of course, being in the state of Ohio, not Kentucky. Okay, technically it is the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, lovingly known as CVG, because it is based in Covington, Kentucky, although some argue it is more in Hebron, Kentucky than Covington, but, I really don't care.
Now, I grew up in the Denver area, for the most part. My dad was in the Air Force and we did have to move around a bit, but we were lucky enough to call the Denver metropolitan are home for a great majority of my school years, ten of twelve to be exact.
Anyway, growing up I followed the Denver Broncos and to a degree the Denver Nuggets, I also liked the Colorado Rockies of NHL fame and while I was growing up we didn't have a MLB team, instead we had the Denver Bears, a AAA affiliate of various teams throughout its history. Growing up I needed a baseball team to root for and the Cincinnati Reds filled that need greatly, I mean who wouldn't want to root for the 'Big Red Machine' in all their glory, right? So, I like coming to Cincinnati to work, for the most part. I say fo the most part because I have never actually worked in the city itself, just used it's airport and then driven my happy self, south to Lexington, Kentucky, home of the Wildcats.
And now for a dramatic pause.
And that's my story, the end.
Sorry, I just got distracted by a dude cleaning the windows here at the airport and my train of thought totally derailed. Once that bad boy gets off the tracks, it's hard to get it back on. For that I apologize, actually what I apologize for is the fact that I am still posting this, with the hopes of maybe returning to it at some future date to clarify and give it an UPDATE.
Just don't hold your breath.
Side side note, someone just let go of the loudest fart in the history of farts, or at least they amplified it over the sound system.
Gotta love Cincin... Kentucky.

Thin Skin
We live in a world full of sarcastic people and I may be one of them.
Okay, truth be told, I am one. Am I proud of it? Well, I do relish in bringing bits of humor to everyone, but unfortunately, not everyone seems to appreciate said humor and takes what I say or write in a manner that is completely different from what the intended words were all about.
I also say that I don't care about people that are thin-skinned and may get upset by a misinterpretation of what I say.
Not entirely true.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I think people should be able to take as much as they give, and usually don't start giving until I have taken, understand?
So, Mr. thick-skin what are you really trying to say?
Not really sure. I think it was starting to be a rant about whiny people but then I lost my train of thought so now I'm just going to ramble on about the state of things in the world until something better comes along.
SQUIRREL!
Yeah, I went there.

College versus Professional Basketball
I will state clearly here that I prefer the college game to the professional game.
I will also state clearly that I don't like all college basketball and tend to only watch games that have teams with excellent coaches.
So this means I will have to admit to watching some professional basketball, again for the coaching.
Who do I follow? So glad that you asked.
I like Duke - Coach K is probably one of, if not the best college basketball coaches ever.
I like any team coached by Bobby Knight - too bad no one wants good fundamental basketball anymore, and that coach Knight doesn't like the whole 'one and done' mentality of college basketball these days.
I like any team coached by Pitino and Calipari; Pitino because he is a great coach and Calipari because he is a great recruiter and doesn't get hung up on the fact that he's only going to have these kids for one, and occasionally two, years.
There are several others that I enjoy watching, because you can see that there is a lot of emphasis on playing the game the correct way, and not all the flash and dash while looking for a highlight on ESPN.
Pro coaches, I like maybe three; Doc Rivers, Gregg Popovich, and Tom Thibodeau. I will admit to being a little enamored with Steve Kerr.
Just thought I'd share that information, in case you were curious.

Sirius/XM radio musings
Listening to Sirius/XM radio for the past week, mostly Hits One, which is channel two in case you are wondering and it got me to thinking....
Do these singers really experience all this sex and glamour that they claim or is it just for show?
If so, how do they afford such things?
Why do I care whether Ariana Grande is a diva or not?
Why is it All about that Bass?
Thank goodness there are another hundred plus channels.
The 80's on 8 are always good for a trip down memory lane, even the songs I don't really remember.
Why do I keep going to the Electronic/Dance music channels (51 and 52, I think)? It's not like I'm at the club, ever!
The 40's on 4 is actually a really great station.
Disco still sucks, but I find that I can tolerate it more, weird.
I love the Books channel, but only if I catch a book at the beginning, I mean who wants to hear a great climax without the buildup? It's like sex without the foreplay, I would imagine.
There are a ton of sports options, which is cool.
All that being said, I would never pay for it. I'm too cheap and would rather listen to an audio book, but if it comes with my rental, I won't turn my nose up to it.
