Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success February 18 – Outstanding. Third “Outstanding” in a row and earned on the bike. There was plenty of other exercise as well, plus the basics (although the Internet Monster almost won one), but the bike burns calories at a right clip.

Yesterday

Yesterday was very quiet, lots of time for Poli-Sci, Spanish, exercise, and even some time with my videos for YouTube. I’m starting with July 7th and getting on the airplane. It will be a very modest post indeed, but by the 9th, things are starting to rock.

Part of the quiet yesterday was silence from Sam. Allen and I decided to wait until Monday to push things, but I’m now reminded that Monday is Presidents’ Day. Ah, well. It will probably be Tuesday instead.

At the same time, some compromises were needed as the shoulder is still trouble.

Today

Today begins with our semi-ceremonial Pancakes and Bacon brunch. Something just a little special for the two of us.

The rest of the day should be quiet. I’m almost done with my week 2 Poli-Sci post and have already done as much commenting on other posts as seems appropriate. My plan is to continue to press forward so that the week that I’m in Texas will not hurt my grade. I’ve emailed the prof to verify that this plan is ok and to get guidance on some of the other work.

That will leave plenty of time for exercise and Spanish.

The Future

Jan and I are taking a weekend at the beach at the beginning of March, then I head for the Gathering. It will be a very busy travel schedule and I must firm up my plans.

Firming my plans up would be much easier if I knew what Sam is going to do. I’m all but certain that he will choose destruction rather than cooperation and once that starts there is little I can do to pull back. A sad waste of a lot of effort, but he’s determined that I shall receive zero for all my work so we’ll have to divide that equally.
