BASEBALL

Woke up this morning, what did I see?
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed

just a bit of the lyrics from the Kinks song, Superman.

My point today, is that once again, I can't take the news. Real News. Fake News. It is usually bad news. I am still ticked off that the Republicans apparently punted on health insurance repeal and replace law which they have been promising for years and years.  It might be time for me to get back into an old passion of mine from a long time ago. Baseball. I probably won't. But I should. Opening day is about one week away. Although I live in Chicago, I remain a Yankee fan. The thing is, I am so far from following baseball that I cannot name one player on the team. Apparently I am not much of a fan.

THE HARD WEIGH

The Hard Way is one of the more obscure songs from The Kinks.  The Kinks were part of the original British Invasion in the 1960's.  Led by Ray Davies, The Kinks disbanded in 1986.  Rumors have been swirling for many months that The Kinks would reform and tour in honor of their 50th Anniversary - and that still may or may not happen - although the 50th Anniversary is already passed.  The Hard Way was released on their 1975 album, Schoolboys in Disgrace.  I have recently rediscovered this gem and I now love this album.  Of course, it helps that I already kinda love The Kinks and have for many years.  I have been listening to so much music lately that I have been discovering and rediscovering lots of music from many bands that I have forgotten how much I enjoyed.

The Hard Way - The Kinks

There are two ways of approaching 200 lbs.  One can slowly gain enough weight to reach that point.  That's the easy way.  The Hard Way is to first get to 309 pounds and then try to lose 109 pounds to reach 200 lbs.  That's The Hard Way.  I am in the middle of attempting to reach 200 pounds - The Hard Way.   

The Kinks - Schoolboys in Disgrace (terrific album!)

I weigh 222.2 lbs.
I gained 8.3 lbs this week?
I admit I am confused.
late dinner last night, not yet fully digested?
retaining water?
I don't know.
Either my reading was very wrong last week.
Or my scale is malfunctioning... I don't know which it is. But if this new reading is correct...
I lost 86.8 lbs in 129 days. Today begins Day 130.


I will always be at the beginning of a journey that never ends.

I NEED TO GET TO A RELIABLE SCALE AND FIND OUT HOW MUCH I WEIGH.

I have one word to describe how I feel right now - confused
...I know how to begin this week...
