must...stop...tennis

i'm in the thick of my world unfortunately being dominated by high school tennis. this is the best chance we've had to win a state title and i've let that goal dominate my life this spring. i haven't ridden in forever and haven't done much of anything else either except go to the boys' soccer games when i can.

the last 2 mornings i've chosen to get out and take a kind of meditative walk, maybe 1 mile+ or so, just to get the blood moving. it's been very refreshing and it's a bit easier to do than get the bike out and all that. one day this silliness will all end and i'll redevelop a normal bike-centered routine.

on the health front, i'm alive. my meds seem to have calmed my ticker. i had my first booze, 2 beers, on Sunday in what seems like 2 months, which for me is a record. this Thursday i go for a sleep study overnight. we'll see whether the sleep apnea thing is legit; they've found a correlation between afib and that condition. a 'darth vadar mask' might be on the horizon for me. if it helps, i'll take it. don't know if the good wife wants that kind of noise in the bedroom, but it will work out.

i'm not practicing anything of late, mindfulness, meditation, good diet, healthy regimen, kindness. i'm just stressed and grumpy. it's a pretty dumb way to live life. but there is always tomorrow, right?

peace to everyone.

I've actually shared a room with someone using one of the c-pap machines (at a conference). They honestly are very quiet. Every once in awhile you might hear a little puff of air, but basically the machine is not putting a lot of pressure out, so it doesn't make noise.

I'm sure MGNS will adapt fine.

On another note, it was good to see your surly self on Sat. Even if you were a dedicated parent and left the party early.

Good luck on winning the state! That's means a great big paycheck increase, right?
