Weekend Bike Riding

What a beautiful weekend we had. The weather was perfect and most people were out and about taking advantage of this unexpected warm, sunny end of the work week. I took out the bike that has been in the garage all winter and rode about down town for a few hours on Saturday afternoon and had a blast. I was a bit out of shape, but I didn’t let it stop me and it felt good.

Education

I’ve been thinking about going back to school, but I can’t decide what classes I would like to take. And I don’t want to do this on the Internet, I want to experience going back into the classroom and being able to discuss things with actual people. You would think that I wouldn’t have any desire to be around people after working with the general public as much as I do, already being in the bar tending trade and all. But I really feel the need to be able to feed, I guess you could say, off of other people’s ideas and suggestions.

I hated school when I was younger, it is such a shame that youth is wasted on the young. I really think that at this point in my life I could really concentrate and do a good job, if I set my mind to it.

I guess going to the website of our local community college would be a good idea to see what courses are being offered and maybe take it from there, see if anything catches my eye.

Easier Communication

I’ve never had an interest in living in the city. I grew up in the country and plan to live here until I die. Sometimes I do wish I had a little more contact with the outside world. My sister told me about www.wildbluedeals.com and next time I am in town visiting the local library I’m going to check it out. I’m thinking that maybe what I need to better stay in touch is internet service at home. I have e-mail and a facebook account but don’t check them regularly. I’d love to be able to use them more to keep up with family and friends! It seems like no one writes letters anymore and I get tired of talking on the phone. There are only so many hours in the day and I feel like I’m just saying the same thing over and over again to different people. How much easier would it be if I could just type up one update and e-mail it out or post it? Same for sharing pictures. No more printing and mailing them to share.

A Clock For Behind the Bar

Back when I was a kid, I went over to a friends house after school. She lived in a really neat old house that I remember quite well. In the TV room, where we spent most of our time, they had the most unusual clock that had the numbers placed on it backwards and it actually ran backwards. It made an impression on me and I always look for one like it, to no avail, sigh….

There are tons of wall clocks available these days, wish I could figure out where to find one that runs backwards, it would be perfect behind the bar area that I have in the basement. A good conversation piece, wouldn’t you say? I was looking on the Internet the other day to see if I could find this type of clock once again, when I ran across a blog that was about a man whose goat had eaten his clock, his prized mantel clock at that, a Tiffany & Company one that he was very distraught about. Kind of reminds me of the dog that ate the kid’s homework, ya know. Man that has got to hurt coming out of that darned goat!

Although I couldn’t find the wall clock that I was so hoping to find this time, I did find one that would look great behind the bar. Think I’m going to put it on my next years Christmas wish list.
