On 4 July, Tony, Debbie, Linda and I went kayaking on Loon
Lake. This was our first of the year. Coming home, that evening, I decided I
wanted to go to a hard shell kayak . The plan
for the weekend was to try out hard shell kayaks. Yes, Linda bought
a hard shell kayak and we bought a new
kayak trailer. We decided that a kayak trailer was more practical than a roof
carrier. I’m still looking for my kayak.
I will keep you posted.
On July 6, Tony and I went to Dru Barner. The Gold Country
Endurance Riding Association was putting
on an endurance ride along with a ride and tie. Going there , gave the both of
us a chance to see friends that we haven’t seen for a while. While there, we
ran a 10 mile loop along with the 10 mile ride and tie entrants. On our run, Tony was passed by Jim
Mather’s ride and tie team. As Jim
passed Tony, he replied, “I finally passed an old guy.” Needless to say, that
motivated Tony.
On Saturday, I also
had a chance to talk to future guests on our TV talk show. I talked with Jim
Mather, Langdon Fielding ,Kathy Perry and Dale Lake about their interest and
availability .Our next TV show on the 11th, will feature Tevis Cup
winner Cathy Rohm.
The November 14, 2012 edition of the Wall Street Journal had
an article pertaining to NFL teams and player sleep patterns. Sleep is a big
problem for many of us. The NFL is not immune to this problem either. These
professional teams travel between time zones and that can complicate sleep
cycles. Going from the Eastern time zone to a Pacific time zone causes problems
for most teams. So one thing that the teams are doing ,for the players, is
setting the temperature at 68° in the hotel rooms. We know that it’s easier to
fall asleep when it’s cooler. Just by going to bed earlier doesn’t always work.
This past week, the temperatures soared to triple digits and
did not cool off enough during the night. As a result, it was difficult to get
a good night’s sleep. Some of the side effects of not getting enough sleep, for
me, include being short tempered, tired and grouchy. So consider setting your
temperature for at least 68 during evening, and hopefully that will help with
your sleep cycle.
Remember to keep moving, laughing, smiling and deep
breathing.
