We all just make up "that line", the one Bard talks about. Anything that is more badass than we want to do, well that's stupid. Anything right up to that line, well it's hard baby, so hard. Of course, in a way it's all stupid and it's all hard. It's just a different degree of poaching the egg, in a way.
I like the way Iggy thinks. In a way, he doesn't give a fuck what people think. I like that, and a lot of times think the same way. It's funny because I was not always like that. When I was a kid I was kinda the total opposite. But I guess most kids are, so whatever. I like to just try shit, just do it. I agree that it teaches anyone who watches not to be so lame, so boring, with life & the things they do.
We made cookies yesterday. This is what I ended up with, my 2 additions to the pile:
Are these amazing? Hardly. But they're different. I wanted to do that so I did it. The bike looks like a drunk made it, but so what. Maybe next time we'll do something cooler. When they came out of the oven the kids liked it, so maybe they'll think outside the cookie cutter next time. I say this now, but of course when they all want to make the Taj Mahal or the Great Wall of China, I'll be slamming my head on the table trying to explain why you can't make a cookie that's 3 inches thick. I reap what I sow in a way. Remind me of this later.
I did not ride my bike this weekend nor did I run. I have been sick, am sick, been up & down feeling like shit then ok. Honestly I'm just not caring about the bike this week. Yes it's cold but more than that is the whole run-down & sick thing. So I took a pass this weekend on any hard exercise & tried to eat well and sleep more. It worked a little, but this cold or whatever it is lingers, just won't go away.
What is good? Cookies, they are good. We made potatoes in the oven using an apple slicer. They came out really well and it's pretty easy. It doesn't cut the potato as easily but it works just fine. I imagine the first apple cut on it after the potatoes didn't taste go great. It looked pretty cool though:
Puzzle season is also here. We did a 750 piece one that Simon got for his birthday and most of a 1000 piece one that I have no idea where it came from. We have a lot yet to do. Puzzles are great for the cold:
We also saw fireworks, went for a walk in the park down in town, and did a drive by on a local town lights display that is done to music they broadcast on 92.7. It looked less than amazing driving up to it but it ended up being pretty cool.
These are all good things, I think. Well not being sick, but otherwise lots of good things.
