Raking Randomness
I think this is the first year that I've raked leaves in the pitch dark. It wasn't totally pitch dark because I was wearing my head lamp, but I raked for at least an hour tonight after nightfall to finish the 2010 raking business. The raking occurred after I lost three games of racquetball to some white-haired guy with a bum elbow. The first half of the lawn that I raked on Saturday looks like it could use another raking, but I'm pretty sure it'll keep until spring. People say I should make the raking more automated by using a mower, bagger, etc. Even though it is somewhat of an inconvenience, the truth is, in some perverse way I enjoy it. Usually it only takes 4 or 5 hours total (once a year), and I enjoy the chance to be outdoors and have time to think and mull over stuff and things.
This week seems like it's taking forever to pass by, but it also feels like it just started. Now I must go to bed so I can get up early for work in order to make sure I have all my documentation completed for the project review that will happen on two or three of my projects tomorrow. Take care now, buh bye then.
P.S. I have a new niece this week. I'm sure she's very sweet, and I hope to verify that in person soon.

I would agree....I think the exercise, outdoor time, & opportunity to ponder while burning a few calories are a great idea. :)
I'm wondering....all these people wearing braces on their knees, elbows, etc....do you think they got those injuries from racquetball? Is it safe to continue to play racquetball on a solidly regular basis or will you soon be joining the ranks of 'stabilized by a brace'. Not that that's bad....I'm trying it out myself. Just askin'.....

I think they have those braces because they're OLD!! Just kidding....I have no idea. I play some people who don't wear any braces, but I don't mention them because they're not any fun. I better not make too many jokes seeing how I'm getting old myself.
