Super Bowl -- The Day After

While some people are recovering from too much eating, drinking, or betting the day after the Super Bowl, I too had to recover but for different reasons. Because we offered about 300 different kinds of bets on the big game, there was a lot of checking and posting to be done after the game. The final score sheet, a 16-page double-sided legal stapled book, wasn't finished until six hours after the final gun sounded. Needless to say I was a little tired when I got home after 2 am. I didn't drink or bet, but someone brought in some cookies and that's like death to a diabetic. I have the discipline to say no to drinking and gambling but I can't resist chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies.

So to deal with the elevated blood sugar today I went to my 2nd home, Red Rock Canyon, and had a beautiful 2-hour run from the Welcome Center, past the entire Calico Mountain Range, beyond Sandstone Quarry and behind the Calico Mountains to the Calico Tanks. I met some nice tourists from Canada (Montreal and Halifax) and offered to snap their picture. They were very thankful and said I must be in very good shape to be running on such challenging trails. Well, we all gotta do what we gotta do.

Then I briefly meditated on the bench with the best view anywhere. I'm sure the bs is back to normal by now. Can't say the same about myself.
