I still have a slightly sore throat. I think it hit after Monday night but w/e let's get on with it.
My playlist this morning was originally for Mon or Tues morning but I forgot to use it. Iron Maiden's "Moonchild" and Ex Libris's "Suspended Animation" got us most of the way from the street to the incline. I remember thinking as I passed the hospital that in many ways I am like an original member of a band who left to do a solo record and was retained as a session player. Kind of like Chris DeGarmo on Queensryche's Tribe or Richard Wright on Momentary Lapse.
It's getting a bit cooler out but that's fine we can handle it.
My gut is growing and even though I'm doing all this biking it's not the same as running nor actually working my abs and core. I'll see if I can rectify that tonight. Upon my 14th round trip (or 28th one-way) I should have shed about a pound just from the biking. (250 calories a day x 14 days = 3,500 cal = 1 lb.)
I stopped at the first pillar of the Bridge just to take some shots. I concede to missing out on doing this last year as well as when I took the West Side Highway, I'd have killer shots of Freedom Tower being built.
Immediately after, Lee Harvey Oswald Band, "You Talk Sunshine...I Breathe Fire," came on, sending me back about 18 years. I have a hard time believing Rick Sims played bass in this band b/c he's way too good of a guitarist but one day all will be revealed.
My descent was pretty good and uneventful. My last song was Kruk, "Jestem Bogiem," the Polish-language version of a song earlier on the album (I think it's "Master Blaster"). I like listening to some songs in their native tongue. Both versions have the growled vocals at the end, which is a little bit of a shock when you first hear it, b/c I wouldn't even consider this metal. But it works just well enough.
It's a pretty typical day and I want it to go by pretty swiftly.
Thank you for reading.
