So this morning at 3AM one of the computerized scam phone banks rang my number with a “your bank account has problems” message. Motherfuckers! 3AM! I fell back asleep, much to my surprise, and woke at seven. Immediately after waking I jumped in the car and drove over to the West Bend farmer’s market. The boys and I usually arrive later, around 9AM, and the early morning market has a different feel than the later morning market. First off, the space is surprisingly crowded at 7AM. Second, you see fewer kids and more older people. I picked up leeks, onions, garlic, Yukon gold potatoes, and string cheese for tomorrow. When I arrived home I skipped working out, checked my email, showered, then ate breakfast. I called Jim across the street and invited him to the Milwaukee Ale House for dinner. He called me last week so I felt I should reciprocate when his wife and kids were out of town. So we’re good to go at 6PM. I putzed around until about 10:30, when I decided to make that Greek lentil soup I read about on GR. I chopped everything up and cooked up the meal, really a curious mix of soup and salad. Despite its non-soupish feel I liked it. Must remember to post a thank you on GR.

After lunch I talked with Dan on the phone and decided to lift weights while watching some dumbass travel channel show about Disney cruises. I changed the channel to “This Week in Baseball” and finished lifting. Now, I was thinking of skipping cardio but I had eaten a lot already so I thought I’d knock out thirty minutes on the elliptical. Well, after about twenty-five minutes I felt pretty good and I thought I’d push a little farther to see if I can jar my body out of complacency. In turn I knocked out sixty minutes on the most challenging elliptical setting. The elliptical calorie counter, in case you were wondering, gets stuck at 999. The last few minutes were hard on my burning feet. I noticed my feet turn outward on the elliptical. I tried to refocus them forward. I wonder if my feet directions make a difference. Afterwards I was pretty much shot. I took a quick shower, shaved badly, and called M. She and T were about to visit M’s mom’s grave. I don’t think T is too keen on coming home. Oh well. I miss them.

More later…nice out today.
