I'm trying to make a decision

and writing it out and explaining it may help.

I had planned to get up and go to Waikiki, swim 2000m, then bike 15 miles this morning. I've been planning to do it for a couple of weeks but the weather has been pretty sucky the last few Sunday mornings. Okay, the problem; I have a tooth ache that I'm had for 3 days and it's killing me. Now swimming and biking will neither help nor hurt the tooth ache, it just hurts. Also, this may be TMI but it's part of the process, I started my period and feel just generally crappy. Again, swimming and biking will neither hurt nor help this, though I may attract sharks (sick, I know). Now if I do this I will no doubt, a) feel very pleased with myself; b) take my mind off my pains for a few hours; c) do the brick I've been planning for weeks.

If I don't do this I will undoubtedly, a) feel like crap all day.

Okay, I can see which one wins. I'm pulling up the Waikiki cam to make sure it's nice over there. Also, I need to check for the box jellyfish warning to see if any are posted for today. Box jellyfish are very uncool when you are swimming. They sting you and the stings can be quite nasty.



So, apparently I have no reason not to go. There is Waikiki right now and it looks pretty darn nice.

Okay, I'm going to feed the animals, load up the car and go do it. I'll feel much better and then have an excuse for laying around this afternoon.

Aloha, a hui hou aku

Looks great to me - but the whole shark/jellyfish thing is a little more than I can think about!

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
