FRET 4

September 14th, 2007 · 779 Comments

i try not to fret. but i do and it’s a long list why – some of which is ridiculously unfounded, some i’m sure comes from deeply ingrained childhood stuff (got an hour?) and some is just a part of living on this earth and being human. and well, obviously not a very good buddhist.

i fret less when i’ve been on the bike. and this is now the end of week 3, back on after what became over a 3 week hiatus. i’m hitting it hard but i’m not nearly as fit as i was back in the spring. i’m slower most likely because sadly there’s more weight to move. a solid 10 lbs makes a big diff. but the riding helps my head, this much i know. and i feel more powerful – more alive. it’s also one less thing to beat myself up about, one less thing in the “i know i should be doing this and i’m not” category. and i can’t break my current stride because if i do – it’ll be�too damn hard to start up – again. so until it gets out and out chilly, my ass is on that bike. and that’s just the way it’s gotta be.

but hey! guess what? i’m heading home to nyc next week.

cary has his kids for 9 days starting this evening and i decided to get outa dodge for a portion of that program. i’ll see everyone through the bulk of next week with school drop-offs and pick-ups and soccer games and track meets and dinners. and then thursday afternoon, i fly.

anyway, i need a haircut. it’s like i’ve suddenly got the mermaid look which is a direct result of not getting my hair cut due to the fear of being temporarily ruined (again) by a nashville stylist. my last trip to ny was back in may and i decided to wait because well, with a great nyc haircut comes nyc prices and if i told you what a cut and color run using my team of guys – well, you’d choke ever so slightly on whatever fabulous thing you’re eating – and rightly so.

and i get to ride a bike in central park for a few glorious mornings which is one of my favorite things to do in the world. it’s a 6 mile loop with a killer hill up by harlem that burns off the sins of whatever restaurant i ate in the night before. but it’s a beautiful way to spend a morning. god i love nyc…

oh. and i need a great meal – or three. so many of the bloggers out there that i adore are in nyc or thereabouts. so i’d love to hear where you’re eating these days. i know that one night i’m goin to ‘lavagna‘ on east 5th. and i’m really wanting to check out ‘prune‘. and as much as i loved ‘babbo‘ and i want to go back, it’s a reservation nightmare. although i know i can go and wait for an open table…

and most importantly i get to spend time with my mom. she is the quintessential ny woman in oh so many ways. and i get to hang out a little with my best friend yve – a role we’ve played together for 35 years. just typing that number is kinda freaky because taking it all into consideration we look pretty damn good and are uber cool for 46 year old women.

just ask us we’ll tell you…

    I did ask for referance to relevant study/studies. Your answer leaves more questions than it answers and didn’t cover the area I asked about. I am asking this question as someone who holds a sports science degree and an open mind. If you can answer the question please do or show me the relevant data because again with all due respect your reply does not make sense.

    Could have sworn I posted to this one. Oh, well. Was reading Rogue Trader corebook, fooling around with Twitter, playing CoH. Should probably try RIFT Beta and Bulletstorm demo, also do homework.

    Ken, appreciate the detailed piece. Clarity is a passion project that quickly grew into a bigger idea looking to connect folks around the world to support their dreams and passions. I plan on spending the next 10 years trying to solve this problem at scale. Thanks for the early support!

    So, what does that make Kim Jong-un, the 20-something dictator of North Korea? They already have nukes, and missiles that can reach the West Coast. They invaded the South, resulting in a war that killed millions. Iran has invaded nobody.

    I challenge people: Go to the "open" Political forums on Yahoo and Amazon and post Birther comments. See how many you can post before you will be totally banned from posting anything ever on those sites at all. The Obots control the national news and those forums. It's one of the reasons our numbers seem few. All Birther comments are targeted, reported and quickly deleted on any of the large open message boards.

    Yup, I tried on my lips, but this texture cant be used on lips.. its will bleed badly, it slightly melts with warmth and plus this color totally washes me out when used on lips

    Vi skulle hellre vilja ha 5 olika middagar. Ofta fryser vi in 4 porttioner, men det blir oftast inte lika gott som att laga nytt.Vi är också lite besvikna på de vegetariska recepten. På senare tid har det varit konstiga recept. De har inte smakat dåligt men det finns ju så annan mycket god vegetarisk mat !!

    JB Handley and/or Mark Blaxill (who BTW are both extremely intelligent and well informed)They are businessman, they have absolutely no training in science. They are intelligent only in business and marketing. And from their behavior and writings, they have absolutely no intelligence in regard to science.Again I ask: What is your education? What was the last science class you took? How long ago did you take biology?

    Deweysystemet är uppbyggt av siffror och är det system som de flesta folkbibliotek i USA använder. Det är ungefär som ”A – Bok- och biblioteksväsen” osv, fast kategorierna är annorlunda och man bygger upp signumen av siffror istället för av bokstäver. Se .

    I refer to these Alec Baldwin types as minorities. He isn’t really white, is he? White is more than a look, it’s a state of mind, it’s a culture, it’s a belief system. He doesn’t qualify. He is one of the many low class morons that populate Follywood. I’ve thoroughly examined them, and they’re not only merely trash, they’re really most sincerely trash!

    I enjoyed the food post more. But i’m in the understanding that intrepid people can potentially eat spiders. Dan & Lisa you should take the next culinary step

    What I have observed in terms of laptop or computer memory is the fact that there are specifications such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must match up the specific features of the mother board. If the pc¡¯s motherboard is reasonably current and there are no operating system issues, improving the storage space literally requires under 1 hour. It¡¯s on the list of easiest computer upgrade methods one can picture. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

    The more I see pictures of the victims & destruction and hear stories about the magnitude of the earthquake, the more curious I get about the Dominican Republic. Considering the magnitude of the quake and the breadth of destruction and death, why aren't there any stories detailing or even mentioning any structural damage or loss of life in the DR? That seems very strange to me.

    83%? That would sort of imply that 83% of doctors are only in it for the money and don’t care about patients, which I find highly unlikely at best.I think that we have to admit that until we live in a post-scarcity society, healthcare and healthcare policy will always be imperfect

    So funny that you would suggest that! I went through my Facebook page this morning, making sure that anything I posted was encouraging and pointed to God. I heard Beth Moore say once, “Good look it, before you Facebook it!” Good advice. I love this…”make each word a gift.” Lord, let it be so!

    Sur le plan politique, on vit une époque incroyable, du jamais vu (enfin de ce que je me souviens!), de la déliquescence à l’état pur. Les sociologues et les historiens vont avoir de quoi écrire sur les conséquences de ce drame. Il y a le bouquin d’Emmanuel Todd « Après la démocratie » qui est intéressant.C’est surréaliste, du grand n’importe quoi!

    Terrific work! This is the kind of information that are supposed to be shared around the web. Disgrace on Google for not positioning this publish higher! Come on over and discuss with my website . Thanks =)

    of course you can always check other recommendations such as pluggedinonline.com, i do not trust the rating system at all and our CDN system is quite different than the american system that has in many cases, produced the movie. i like your ideas about content, and look forward to any good suggestions as you find them! sk

    Thanks for summarizing the research on these controversial particles! It is something I was thinking about reading up on, but didn't have the time/patience to do it. But you did (because you are great like that!) and now I can make my MMU with micronized TiDi and zinc with more confidence.Thanks for settling that!
