content

this is a place for my random thoughts, memories and to act as a general place for me to flush out the many things that i postulate on. it is intended for no purpose what so ever other than to entertain myself and practice my writing. maybe in some distant future my boys will find this and be able to take a peak inside their dad's mind. i am speaking to no one in particular and one of things that i want to concentrate on heavily is to keep the narcissism out of this blog. i will not win the noble peace prize with it and don't want to. i do not want to get into the habit of checking it a thousand times a day to see if i got any likes or comments. i want this space to be as real and close to resembling me as possible and vise verse.

new book, books?...

     so i picked up Sherlock Holmes complete works volume one.  is that many books in one or do i have to read the entire thing before it counts as one?  the later puts me in a bind if i hope to achieve my goal of 50 books in one year.  this may not sound like a big deal but it is something that has started to mean more and more to me.  i have found, (and i hate to say this for fear that just saying it will reverse it but) that i am enjoying reading more.  for a person like me it is a big deal.  i have never really been able to "find myself" so learning new things about me is exciting. 

     the total miles yesterday ended up being 13.  not a lot but good for a start.  i am looking forward (believe it or not) to the cold of tomorrow morning and the positive feelings that come from cycling through it at 0500. 

     if i can keep these two simple things up i will be miles ahead of where i was last year.  i think that reaching the small goals will help me to earn the confidence and learn the discipline it will take for larger ones.
