Yes, I am weird, I can't sleep, and so, I'm going skiing at 3:00 in the morning.

A pack of snowmobilers just went down the trail, probably did a pretty good job of grooming it ahead of me.

Beats sitting here feeling sorry for myself, which I am doing a good job of.


I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled, weighed down
To the lowest place
I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated from every holy place
I've been beat up and robbed
I've been left for dead
For the way I look
For the things I said

When trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us
I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing

Cause I will take it on the chin
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing
Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow for you.
For you.

I used to do that on golf courses late at night--with the added advantage that they usually had some lights.

Enjoy. Me, I might get up early to use my nordic track, but I'll wait to daylight to do my outdoor fitness walk... I like to see the wildlife before they see me (usually just coyotes, but close enough that a mountain lion is not out of question)...

How nice....unless you have to drive miles to work, I guess.

Activity helps depression, they say. I have found that to help, but it's no cure.
