Going with the Crowes in the Fall

Am now using the old $1 headphones that kind of hurt my earballs.
Was listening to I'm With You as I got off the train but am now putting on Black Crowes' Warpaint. The reason being that yesterday I was at the graveyard across the street from the morgue in which I work, and saw a stone that read "daughter of a revolutionary war veteran" and it made me think of "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution." So that's where we're headed today. Amazing that they were able to put out a bunch of albums, disband, reunite and put out another album before GNR could put out Chinese Democracy.
Worked out tris and pecs last nite pretty good. Didn't do as well with my bench press set as I did last week -- I completed all the reps but started to teeter out toward the end.
I'm barebacked today and only have a few items in the bag which hangs on my left handlebar.
Began reading Across the River and Into the Trees today.
I read a few articles yesterday in my TPM and it's very inspiring b/c it's such uncharted territory for me. I began an idea for a philosophy-based essay but the problem is I lack the real knowledge of its basics and furthermore, I read a review of a book that sounds like a good read and something that can help me get on my way but toward the end of the review it sort of bashed it by saying that the ideas are so basic and fundamental that it's almost condescending. The last thing I'd want to do (but might do, anyway, just to finish the essay) is to write it without the philosophical stuff and then, after some extensive research, inject it into the essay. It's very possible that a learned person could read a finished product and figure out my method. It's also possible that it might work.
My legs are still readjusting to life in the bike lane. I can tell. I may have been numb to it prior to my break but I can feel my thighs without much focus.
Saw a short Pan-Asian looking man running near Moore St. completely barefoot. I just find that to be a generally bad idea.
From a very practical standpoint, I am glad this year's 9/11 anniversary is on a weekend. The crowds are enough to delay things. But a sad, reflective, sometimes-gawking crowd really does a number on us down here.
Thank you for reading.
