Yesterday evening I was browsing back and forth with my MLB channel, trying to pick up a game that was ongoing.The Chicago White Sox, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Angels figured into it all, producing the sensation of scoreboard dyslexia...that's when I get confused trying to mentally process the part of an inning in which the road team is up at bat. For today's Sunday lineup, I anticipated their attempt to schedule all 30 major league teams with games. For today's Bill Irwin lineup, I wonder whether I'll be able to surpass my physical limitations I am undergoing from my brain cancer circumstances. I would truly like to sense that I am turning a crucial corner in my treatment and that the future actually represents a real future that I can live through without a foroboding sense that the END is near. As for the two of us, we have postponed involved international family travel that is liable to impose undue stress and anxiety, especially on me with what I'm medically passing through. Right now I'm treating each day as an open, unscheduled block of time. I'm free to read, write, rest, exercise and watch TV during this stretch without guilt that I'm not adhering to the late Jim Rohm's dictates about how I ought to be living my life. Rohm, with all the good intentions behind his podcasts, comes across to me as sounding like some kind of a dogmatic ayatollah.He expresses the demeanor of someone who has lived out their lives successfully, being very careful to do uncomfortable things very, very consistently while telling me to follow his example...and don't stray from it! I wouldn't want to find myself seated across from this type of mentor with him expecting me to dissolve my independence of personality just to let him lay his mandates all on me. So here I am with another day facing me...may it work out well for the both of us. Hope I don't make any mistakes...

Physical Energy Deficit Greatly Limits My Depot Parkwalk This Morning
I'd like to believe that athletic progress for me is a linear proposition, that my performance level stands in more or less direct proportion to my workout efforts. But on a day like today, which was characterized by an energy drought, the best I could come up with at Gainesville's weekly Depot Parkrun 5K was a single, trudgy and slow lap through the park, which was crowded. Melissa praised my efforts and explained that the cancer medicine I have been taking played a role in my race difficulty. It was warm, overcast and humid there. I got through that one lap, and felt I could have extended it. Shauna, in passing me, near the end, greeted and encouraged me. I wish her the best. Melissa and I afterwards went through the Dunkin' Donuts drive-through line and brought home some coffee and breakfast. Now I'm finishing the coffee and about to start on the donut..their chocolate-frosted donut icing doesn't run sloppily like Publix's does. This afternoon and evening the MLB channel is showing a lot of live games, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of them. Hope you enjoy baseball, and if it meshes with your interests, the Kentucky Derby... DOVER<DOVER,DOVER>....C'MON,DOVER, MOVE YER BLOOMIN' ASSS!!!!
