Today was pretty much the same as yesterday, only less wind and no back-pack. I cannot turn my head as easily as I'd like (on account of the dual scarves around my neck) so I feel like I'm wearing the Michael Keaton Batman suit.
I'm listening to Monster Magnet this morning and there's a line in "Too Bad" where Wyndorf says: "I learned a long time ago that you gotta shake hands with pain." That's a solid line -- while I'm not in any pain, there is difficulty riding in 20 degree weather, so I felt it applied.
There's 12 pages left for me to read in Tender is the Night so I reckon it'll be done by end of lunch time. It's been a good read and I can see why it'd be such a big seller way back. There's a disconnect I think, though, because of the generational gap and that I don't read in to things as deeply as scholars do. I understand it all and there are some passages that really speak to me, but I am more excited to read Perec next year.
There are very few runners and cyclists here today. I really respect the joggers as they are also shaking hands with difficulty.
Last weekend I had to start my New Year's resolution early and not let certain circumstances and politics at work follow me out of the office. It is an unhealthy habit and I will not let it get above me any more.
Worked on my abs and biceps last night and can feel the effects slightly. Probably need to shake up the routine.
Free lunch day today, but it'll probably be sandwiches that were supposed to be hot.
Thank you for reading.
