Preparazione della zuppa

  So it begins neither cold nor warm, raining or sunny, just grey. It feels like this will go just either way, but the chance is positive. Moving forward with thousands of others pulls everything along, it is exciting. This is what being free and alive is about. Many ingredients make up the recipe, but whether it is enough doesn't ever seem to matter with the outcome. You have added everything possible to the mix, or maybe not enough, but why isn't the formula failsafe? Probally because when dealing with physical, mental, and what all depends on hidden forces at work. Tapping into your flow must be given rein to move easily, relaxed. So you let it roll of it's own accord, and you ease it all. Now it feels good, just leave it there. After all your only living the dream, going on a journey that, yes, ends with a finish line, but you want to go farther. Next time you will. This was a great ride!

Mise en Place

 He really wanted me, and did I deliver! What wasn't understood was my disposition, and what a Katrina hurricane mark was left on my psyche. There is always a slow process to soothe and clean an aching wound, nothing but time and effort can pass the mess. This was the guy to do it. He had just completed his 29th 100 mile run, and had a way to get to most finish lines if he felt like it, sometimes he just didn't. So with the free classes, and Shari's fostering my journey back began. It was a rough awakening for both of us. No more flights out, no more races, volunteering had to end, but, what the heck, 30K to blow and more if he had continued, is enough. Change after all is good for the soul. After all 24/7 watch could only been handled by him or Shari, everyone else was a value meal. So it went... Then all the funny antics, the agility successes, the remarkable search and rescue games really gave a glimmer of hope, nothing much more than that. That was enough. Why not start up a race within the confines, so Run Like the Wind began. Yes, a chance to volunteer, raise a little dough, to keep crazies like her out.. headed for the  death zone. It will continue just as it has been foretold....prepare ahead, and you will make the timetable.

The Simmer...

 Simone brought to the table a whole exciting musical dimension. It began with Bach, his Brandenburg Concertos, Goldberg variations, and on and on. Of course, Handel, Chopin, Mozart,Beethoven, Cassanea of Mondonville, Haydn and Liszt would follow with their personal signatures. There is a way to distinguish these different flavors, and they can only go for a while and finally be savored. Sounds like another endeavor that is brought on with lots of fire and exhausted without more fuel. The Deer and Boar have fallen and I will soon have my chance.

Still around...

It's all about Jeff this time. He made it start, cause it always has to be someone's fault, and it might as well be his! Some one pushes the button and makes things progress toward something. So Jeff are you happy now? Like many movements that bring events to a purpose, I think it's time to really prepare wild game.

I would really like to say soon I have cooked a really great dish using venison or wild boar, now watch it unfold!
