I know I’ve been silent the past couple of days. That is
mostly because I’ve been sleeping late and had school work to do that I got
behind on, but I am back on track now. This class has proved to be a bit
challenging for me. Been reading a ton the past couple of days and not just in
my text book either. I’ve also had to go looking in back issues of National Geographic Magazine for
information as well. But it has been a good week.
It looks like I will get through all three of my
magazines this month which pleases me greatly. I’m also making good progress in
my books as well. I’ll be up late tonight reading, mostly from my text book. But
that will help me sleep better since it relaxes me and it will help me retain
the knowledge better. Next week will be even busier so bear with me next week
if there are some missing entries.
Also next week I am going back into my exercise routine
as June starts. I’m going to give it my best shot. And since I should have
everything straightened out food wise I am also going to try and eat three
meals a day. I’ve been doing pretty well at not eating dinner late with a few
exceptions. And when I can keep breakfast stuff in the house I manage to eat
breakfast good for the most part. Still working on lunch, but it is getting
there. I am trying to get my diet to a healthy place where I eat more
vegetables than anything. And I wouldn’t mind being able to add some fresh
seafood in there at times as well, more than what I do already. But it is a
work in progress.
I also see that Bernie Sanders is attracting followers
not just from the left but also from the right. I think it is just because he
is preaching common sense to the American People and they are listening. I have
said it before here and I will said it again I think he has a good chance of
winning in 2016. He talks about the issues the people are concerned about without
making up phantoms to scare people. He talks in a no nonsense and yet common
sense way. He is aggressive yet compassionate. This is the man to lead our
country.
I’ll get off my soap box for one week though. Though it
will heat up as far as politically in this column when the race truly gets
started. But it will be civil, barring stupidity setting me off. On a side note
I was made to feel old the other day as I learned that Bob Schiefer of CBS News
was retiring. Seems like all the newsmen I remember watching as a kid are
retiring in these past few years. As well as the late night hosts. It does make
you feel old after a while. Not so much with regular shows coming and going
since that happens all the time now. Though with some of those really long
running ones that come around every now and then it happens.
I know I don’t catch everything in a news week, but if
there is something you think would set me to typing or you think I should see
leave it in the comments section or tag me in it when you share it or even
email it to me. Trust me if it sets me to typing you will see it in the
Saturday columns. And leave me your comments on what has made you feel old in
the past and what you are doing to keep healthy this summer. For now I better
hit the books if I want any sleep. *Tips his hat and walks out the door headed
for the study.*
Great one!
