Its St Patricks Day, a day when luck abandons my Notre Dame when it comes to basketball. Proof Pt #1, after being ranked as high as #5 this year and beating #1 NCAA seed Louisville by 33 pts, the Irish are playing UAB in the first round of the NIT and lucky to be there.

As I was struggling through my paltry 3 mile run, it occurred to me that peri-menopause sucks wet twinkies. One day, you are thinking size 6 jeans are sort of baggy, the next you are wondering who tied the two bags of lard to your rear. Forget "Mom" jeans, I'm staring down the aisle of the Grammy jeans..Crap.

Now you people sleep on that. And tomorrow morning, when the sun begins to warm the day, fill a couple bottles, grab 20 bucks, and a couple bars. Leave and dont come back for a while. Go find out a bit about yourself. Knowledge is out there. Waiting for you. A few thousand feet up.

As well, it is not the calories burned, nor the TSS logged, not even the liters of high conductivity fluid expelled through the dermis, that is the strategic objective of the long hill. Those things are simply beneficial by-products of the effort, not the goal. The true reason for the effort is the window that is opened into ones own soul. Is it not? Is that not why we climb? To climb is to suffer. And to suffer is to explore the unknown. And it is the opportunity for unfilterd study of ones own self that is the true desire.

On the psycology of climbing - conventional wisdom follows that the deposit of suffering leads to an enjoyable return on the investment - the downhill. Fair enough. While I enjoy a fast twisty mountain descent to a large degree, it is the hour of near FTP effort that is the true reward.

I know very little about even less. I do know though that there are few loves that are readily apparent. Love needs to be explored for a while. Maybe a long while. Often, one must engage a long banquet of suffering to find the deep reality of love. Often when I am confused about an item of concern in my life, I roll to the bottom of Dear Creek Canyon, and then up High Grade Road, where a literal feast of misery can be explored and enjoyed for the love that it truly is.

I'm thinking bottom mang. But may see some profit taking tomorrow goin into the weekend. If it's not too bad then maybe we see some more improvement or at least stagnation of little up and little down for awhile. Either way, I seriously hope we don't have to test a new bottom below 6,500 again cause I don have much left. But gotta say my bearish feeling is based almost entirely on pullin' hope outta my ass mang and that's never been bankable. The climate is a changing though, you can feel the vibe altering and searching for a new direction. As long as we don't get worse I would be thankfull

However, the fake reality on Survivor is better for my brain cause I can watch the chicks with the big cans and tight units and pretend to myself I'm just as svelt and tan as I was back in the day in the lineup at 41st Ave. We all need our self comfort don't we? :)
