Long Day

It was a long day today. Lots of work and lots of hours. The Sun is still up and I'm down for the count   Goodbye June.

2 AM

It's 2 AM and I can't fall back to sleep. I have to be at work in a few hours. Maybe I'll pass out before that. I was hungry so I fixed a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee. It's the last day of June. Here comes July.

Still Light

Done working for the day. I'll be back at it tomorrow working a 10-Hour shift. Check Outs & Check Ins.

Weekend Work

Just woke up and I'll be going for a run in a little while. I work this afternoon at the hotel and it will be a busy weekend.

Slow Moving Today

I didn't run very fast today. That's what happens when I do a speed workout the day before. Rest before work tonight.

Repeat

It's pretty much a repeat from yesterday. I'll run 7 miles this morning and then go to work in the afternoon. Somewhere I plan to fit in bass playing and artwork to the schedule.

Front Desk Night

I am working at the front desk of the hotel and I'll be done in an hour. Goodnight.

7 Done

Went out there and ran 7 miles this morning. I felt like there was speed under my feet. Keep the training going.

Back To Work

I'll be working the next 5 days at the hotel. Things are busy there. I'm on the evening shift today and tomorrow. My plan is to run this morning. The work ahead.

Ultimate Erotica

Wide Open Wesnesday

Took my bike the repair shop where they actually didn't want to fix it. I'll take it somewhere else or get a whole new bicycle.  Later tonight I might stop by the local bar and see if they still have open mic. They didn't last week. There's always artwork too.

Get Running

I haven't run for a few days and so I'll get there today. Just 8 weeks to go before my first marathon of the year so the training needs to be  intense. My plan is to run 7 miles today and then take it from there. Time to go.

Bike Frame

I have a Huffy bike frame that has never been used. It Needs work since it has missing parts. I would like to take it to the repair shop. I'm not sure if they can fix it, but I would like to find out.   

Power On

The electricity is back on at my place. This is very good news!

No Power

I lost power at my place during the night. When I woke up around 1:30 AM the lights were out. I'm working the morning shift today so I came in a couple of hours earlier. Brought my toothbrush and other cleaning items since I couldn't do those things back home. I hope the lights are back on later today when I leave here.

Thunder Rain Hail Lightning

Hot One

Just the way I like it!

New Shoes

I bought a new pair of shoes back at the beginning of the year and now they are worn out. One of the souls have detached itself from one of the shoes. I paid $25 for them, which is at the lower end of the price scale for shoes. The cheaper ones are more comfortable and since I'm on my feet for most of the day working, they are nice to have on. I'll have to buy a new pair which will probably last me until the end of the year.

Hot Summer Sunday

There is no way I'm going to run or ride tonight. It's all about the colors.

Very Early

I'm going to work early this morning and I'll be doing that for the next few days. It is now Summertime and it will be busy at the hotel this morning. Right now, I've finished my cereal and a cup of coffee. Good morning people of the blog!

BBQ

Time to grill the tofu & vegetables!

5 Days In A Row

I've run 5 days in a row this week. The training goes on. The rest of the day is all about music & art. Just the way I like it.

Saterdaze

Yesterday was the first day of Summer. The weather has been great. I'll be going for a run this morning and plan to get 7 miles in. That will make it 35 miles for the week and 5 days of running in a row. Artwork and music are also on the agenda.

Still At Work

A couple of hours to go. I'm off tomorrow.

7 More Miles

I went out and ran 7 miles today. That wasn't the plan, it's just that I had the motivation to do it. Tomorrow I want to get out and run about 13 miles. I need to increase my distance for marathon training. I'll deal with that is less than 24 hours.

It's Friday

I'm sure I'll be busy at the hotel tonight. It's Friday and wedding season. Tomorrow I'm off from work. I've been pushing myself with exercise so it might be best I rest today. Play all day and work all night.

All About The Miles

I went for an afternoon run of 7 miles. This is late in the day for me. With it being marathon training season, these are the things I'm doing differently. It was a steady pace. Nothing fast. Just moving along. I'm not sure if I'll run tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is all about a 2-Hour run. Building up my distance shape. Keep it going.

No Open Mic

I stopped by Whistling Willie's in Cold Spring, New York yesterday and there was no Wednesday Night Open Mic. I'm not sure if they're doing it anymore. I haven't played there in several months. No gigs so far this year for me.

Some Day Off

I seem to be doing a lot of work for a day off.

Take A Break

After working 8 straight days at the hotel, I'm off today & tomorrow. I'll go for a run this morning and I might even go to Open Mic tonight. I haven't played live all year. I need to go to the phone store and I also want to pick up some art supplies. It would be great to get some painting done. The weather is supposed to be nice the next couple of days. We like that!

Paul & Ryan

PAUL: There he is!
RYAN: Hey buddy!

8 Days A Week

Title to a Beatles song and Happy Birthday Sir Paul! I work the evening shift later on and it will be the 8th day in a row I've punched in. I'm off from work the next 2 days. I'll be going for a run this morning. Something I haven't done since last Friday. I don't feel totally out of shape though. My weights & stretching exercises have been going good and so is my diet. I need to turn up the miles of running for my marathon training. A big week of workouts is here.

Find It Here

That's where it's at. Just where you are. High in the sky. Bright as a star.

Meat & Bun

You know what I'm talking about!

My Hump Day

I go into work this morning. Tomorrow I'll work another morning shift and then the day after tomorrow an evening shift. Today is my hump day.

Donderdag

Het is Donderdag. de regen vallen op de grond.

Tired

In bed. I'm tired. I will rest this morning.

Keep On Working

KEEP ON WORKING is a song title to one of my favorite Pete Townshend songs. It's off the EMPTY GLASS album. I think of it on a day like today, when I've mowed the lawn and now getting ready to work at the hotel. "To hear the sea sing or see your smiling face."

Looking At It

I'm working the evening shift right up until Friday. I feel like my schedule is almost similar to most peoples. It was a crazy weekend at the hotel. It's amazing how I find myself in surreal situations. That's my life. The way I view things are a mix of reality & fantasy. They seem to blend together. The world is spinning and so is my head. Quite an experience.

Happy Birthday Mom

No Luck

I tried to download a photo from my iPhone. No such luck.

Rain On The Way

I'll have to get a run in this morning before the rain shows up. It looks like a wet week.

More Drawing

My plan for the rest of the day is do some drawing outside. The weather is nice and I really enjoy doing landscapes. Paper, pencils and eraser.

Right To It

Sunday morning and I'm off to work. I didn't do as much running this week as I wanted but that's O.K. stretching & weights have been good. I feel fit and ready to go. I know who I am and glad of that. Let's get right to it!

Saturday June

Today Iwoke up early and took care of things I wanted to. I even went out and did a run. I feel much better now.

That's What I Get

I'm off from work today. That's good because it's the last place I would want to be. I want to get out of there so badly. I hate where I work. There's no future for me at that place. I don't want to be there anymore. My time should be spent elsewhere. I'm on my own. That's how I fly. I'll be that way until the day I die. That's what I get for sticking around.

Under New Management

These are the lyrics to a song I wrote a couple of years ago called UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. It applys to today so well.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Read the memo handed down
They say a new sheriff is heading into town
The owners went and sold their shares

There will be a new regime
Taking care of everything
You can't fight City Hall they say

The coorporate logo from green to blue
What is old is packaged new
It's a business here today

It seems your gain will be my loss
The person I trained is now my boss
Now we know just where I stand

Under new management

At The Hotel

I'll be working the evening shift at the hotel tonight. It is raining steadily today. Cancelled the run for today. I'm also feeling tired. Best just to give a rest for the time being.

Pat At Work

I'm working at the hotel tonight. Things are going good. I went out and did a run this morning. Keep on working.

In New York City

I spent yesterday in New York City. I was in The Bronx and Manhattan. There was plenty for me to do. The weather was perfect. Getting things done.

This is the first time I've ever blogged on my iPhone. I'm on a train and my stop is almost here. Bye

Crown

I'm up early this morning. The sun isn't even up yet. I'm going to the dentist later on and having a crown done to my teeth. That should be fun.

Lighthouse

Wash Away

The rain fell hard last night and it seems the heat wave is going to let up. I'm off from work today and so I'll do artwork. Monday morning madness.

42 Miles

I ran 42 miles this week. I ended up running 6 times at 7 miles per run. As the weeks go on, my plan is to increase one of my running sessions for a longer distance. All part of marathon training.

June

June is my favorite month. It marks the start of Summer and it feels like it out there. Having worked last night, I'm pretty tired this morning. My hope was to get out there and run today. I might just give it a rest. At least for the time being.
