It Seems Slow

I was feeling strong on Monday and Tuesday so I tried to walk standing upright rather than bent over like I've been doing. The pace was set by Los Lobos singing "One Day One Time". Off I went and getting up o n the balls of my feet was like getting up on the step of a boat. A quantum change which knocked nearly 10 minutes off the walk. I felt so good yesterday that I walked briskly around the block in the afternoon. It's been over 5 months since the incidence and I think I should have been recovered by now so I'll up the ante to twice a day. This morning the pace was set by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman singing an extended "Freight Train". I ended up one minute off my record pace.
The home stretch was accompanied by the Master, Johnny Cash Singing his anti-war anti-discrimination song about Ira Hayes. With the veterans returning from the Middle East, does anyone remember the story of Marine Ira Hayes (and thousands of other honored vets)? And one of the candidates for President refused to vote for a GI Bill for them. Shame!
I'll be out to Flabob this weekend for the monthly meeting of EAA Chapter One.
June Gloom has settled in making it hard to get motivated to do anything.
It all just goes to show that we're all on this flight together.
