Witch Power

There once was a man who fell in love with a woman. He didn't care if she had the powers of a witch. She put a spell on him to always love her. She didn't love him back. He felt hopeless in breaking the spell. Then one night he found another witch who was able to lift the curse. He felt cured only to find that the new witch put a different spell on him. The power of beautiful witches.

Getting In Tune

Ran 7 miles this morning. Now it's all about the New York City Marathon on Sunday. That's where my focus is. I'll be heading into Manhattan tomorrow. There are loose ends I need to tie up today. I feel ready for this race mentally & physically. 

My Eyes South

I'll be going to New York City this Friday for the marathon. The race is on Sunday. I'm in taper down mode. My plan is to run the next two days for a tune up. Then it's show time. 

Albany Part II

Heading up to Albany, New York this morning for hotel work related things. It looks like a nice day out there so hopefully the drive will be fine. Put on my suit & tie.

Moves

Getting near the end of the month and life changing issues are at hand. Things like where to live and work. The basic things to survival. I have been feeling mortality crashing in on me. No more is it just a wait them out mentality. The time isn't there. Action needs to be taken and going for it. Keep moving forward.

Marathon Week

This Sunday I'll be running in the New York City Marathon. From here on in, my training will be just to tune up for the race. I feel good and I'm looking forward to it. This will be the 5th time I've run it. I'll start checking to see the 5 day forecast. Getting ready to run the big race.

Lou Reed

Lou Reed died today. His band The Velvet Underground was, as far as I'm concerned, the first punk rock band. They were dark in an era of hippie bright lights. His solo music has been such an influence on so many. He was one of a kind.

Just Wondering

Excited about your career in failure?

Albany

I'm heading up to Albany, New York today. I'll be seeing friends and taking care of business BTO style.

New Game

A new day from yesterday. Games to be played. Win, lose or draw, what is the score? We're waiting for the report. Stay tuned...

Beaten

I wish I could write about happy things all of the time but I don't feel too happy right now. In fact I feel pretty discouraged. That's what happens when you get your ass kicked by life. Whether it's personal or professional the failure is there for all to see. I've been beaten.

Hotel Manhattan

Going to New York City tomorrow for business related reasons. Next week I'll be staying down there for the NYC Marathon. Keep on working.

Things Going On

I have a bunch of things going on right now. I'll be in Manhattan for hotel work. I'm also trying things  out on the relationship front. These are things on the professional and personal level I want to deal with.

Saturn Day

The Moon has been bright the last couple of nights. Beware the call of The Warewolf! Now that Halloween is soon on the scene. Turn a trick and get a treat.

My Rock Opera

Practiced my rock opera THE FRONT DESK in it's entirety today. It still holds up for me.

Friday Go

No sense saying goodbye for the second time,
Just go out and find the right  words to move on.

Couple Of Years

It took a couple of years to accept the truth on thoughts trapped in my brain. No X-ray would show it, but I know it's flying around my skull like a bad memory.

Metro North

I'm on the train heading north from New York City. It's been quite a day. The weather was great and I did a lot of walking around. Now I'm tired and can't wait to get home. I'll even try to get some sleep on the train. Goodnight people of the blog.

Plan

A plan begins with an idea. Then that idea turns into action. All the work goes into making a profitable and successful life.

10/13/13 Set List

Here are the songs I jammed & practiced on this morning:

History Lesson Part II
Grand Reopening
Group Sales
Molly
Lunchtime Surprise
Too Late To Turn Back Now
Kissing Christine
Freezing

Day Of Rest

No running for me today. I've gone out and done it 3 days in a row and it's time for a break. Rest my body with the New York City Marathon 3 weeks from today.

All Over The Map

Went out and ran 7 miles today. The New York City Marathon is 3 weeks away. It looks like I'm moving to Albany at the end of the month. It keeps me going.

When I Grow Up

I want to be a Hotel Manager in New York City.

Lust For Life

Just had to use the Iggy title. Setting up the forecast to hopes & dreams. All case scenarios are taken into consideration. The bottom line will be the score. Set the line.

More To Do

There's always more to do and I have plenty of it. My hope is to run for the first time since the Half Marathon last Sunday. I just wanted to give my legs a rest. I'm still dealing with things personally and professionally. It's all good as they say.

Seth Thomas

Today I jammed with my longest running partner Seth Thomas. He's a metronome my parents bought me when I was kid. It was used when I was at the Optomatrist. He would have me work on coordinating exercises involving Seth & I. This is where I learned how to be in the pocket with tempo. I love playing to a click track. It is faithful to the beat and ends up being a trusting partner to the  rhythm section. We did some crazy exercises back in the day involving me bouncing a ball to the beat. It made me a better musician. Thanks Seth ole buddy!

1:39:51

I ran in a Half Marathon yesterday and was pleased with the result. This was the first New York Road Runners Club race for me in over a year. I felt good out there. The New York City Marathon is 4 weeks away. I want to keep the good momentum going.

Lied

Tell a lie,
Not the truth.
Why did they ask?
They wanted the truth!

Happy Friday

One good thing about not working where I was before is that my boss insisted I work every weekend. Oh please!! I need a life outside of that nonsense. I'm running a Half Marathon this Sunday and with my work schedule it made it tough. And for what? It wasn't like I was getting good pay or benefits. Now they want to take my time away from me. Sorry, I can't continue that way. Happy Friday blog readers.

A Different Blog

Thinking about a couple of different blogs just now. One was about creating a new blog where I set up a fantasy league. Fictional teams and cities. I amuse myself easily. The other blog is actually written by someone else. She's a runner who likes to drink alcohol when she's not running. I wonder if she would run and then have a beer with me? I might ask her.

Half Marathon Sunday

I'm running a Half Marathon Sunday in Central Park, New York City. It's the 1st race I'm running in NYC this year. It will be exactly 4 weeks to go until The Marathon there. This Half Marathon will be a good measuring stick on my conditioning. I would like to finish the race on Sunday under 1 hour & 45 minutes. It won't be easy given the hills on that course. I'll go out there and do a training run today. It's race time!

Dating

Since I'm single I can date whoever I want. That sounds like fun but if you ever fall in love and it doesn't work out then it's like being trapped in pain.

More Outdoor Work

Finished up the outdoor work I started yesterday. The grass is all mowed and did some raking too. The yard looks pretty good as far as I'm concerned.
