Its been a long day...

This morning started at 5:40 am when I woke up and found my right arm asleep, I had cut off circulation, probably by resting my head on my arm and ended needing to use the left arm to lift the right one up and away from my body to restore circulation. My dad later told me that happens a lot as you get older. (You can insert crying noises here.)

At 6:25 the *&#!ing alarm clock did its thing and I headed off to Scooters. (No need for the snooze button today, I hardly dozed off between dragging my arm up and the alarm clock.)

Scooters was tough but good, I managed to pretty much do all the drills without breaking from the pack and after, under the guidance of coach Aaron Arndt, I did some pretty hard "dry land" training - exercises that use skate muscles, without skates on. After practice before dry land, or possibly after dry land, don't remember which, Munro Foster (no blog that I am aware of?) told me he had read some of my blog and enjoyed it. (*blush* Thanks Munro, is there any changes you would like, feel free to put a comment at the end of this post, or any other post.)

After Scooters I went home and Kevin (see Finding the dream over on the right) came by. We spent the afternoon cleaning bearings and watching Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. Kevin got a good laugh at that movie. I, having just looked it up on the IMDB for the purpose of the link above, am delighted to discover a new H&K movie is coming out in February 2008, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. So an entirely productive afternoon, Kevin also taught me how to get the ceramic balls inside a caged ball bearing. (A useful skill for the inline skater).

I would like to insert a political rant, I haven't gone off on some long winded diatribe lately. (Believe me I could, I certainly have not stopped reading the Globe & Mail, despite their idiotic editorials.) But I am very tired and have had long day of skating, exercising and laughing. Also Kilu is demanding my attention.

Here is Kilu, he is very demanding sometimes.
