It’s been a pretty good summer for swimming. Weather-wise, the swimming was great about 80%-90% of the time. There was a bit of a cooler snap in early-mid July, but that’s what suits are for. We had a little heat wave that ended a few days ago. Happened to be in Sandbanks for that one. …
Last summer, since the pools were intermittently closed and open (for 45min every hour to do cleaning and stuff), we spent a lot more time swimming at the beach, taking chances with Lake Ontario and its variable e.coli level. Honestly, it was fine, albeit pretty cold. Air temps in July and early August were fantastic, …
it’s just like this ridiculousness will never end. it’s easy to get really negative about myself and my life situation when it seems like i’m getting nowhere. if there wasn’t a disease of fear and anxiety going on, sucking all the fun out of life, i wouldn’t care so much. i’d be enjoying myself a …

It’s been a year since our dog died and other things have happened, some good, some bad, mostly depressing. Physically I went way off the deep end especially from September to January. Holy shit, it’s like my body decided to stop pretending to get better and said “fuck it, I’m a middle aged man now …
it had been a rough start to the year. at the time (beginning of March) things were bad; how could they possibly get worse? oh, right. because humans.
Unicycle I can ride around the track now, as well as ride a bit on the sidewalk and street (at night, less cars). My personal record distance in one go is about 200m. I need to relax more, weight off the pedals and on the seat, and keep the pelvis forward. I also need to …
It’s almost the end of the year, and just like every other end of year time, I’m busy at work. We did get a little lunch break, so I’ve been making a bit of progress on the unicycle. Reminders (to myself, the beginner): Weight (pelvis) forward and back straight Keep pedaling Flail arms, really Commit! …
