And on Monday I rested

After a hard bike ride Friday, golf on Saturday, and another hard bike ride Sunday, just like in the Tour d'France, I decided today would be a rest day.

I did walk to the golf course, this morning, to sign up for the club match play competition, starting next month, and then to the bank, but after that I settled in front of the TV, for a day of total relaxation.

Of course that can get pretty boring after a while.

Even with over 200 stations to select from, there's only so much television any one person can watch.  So I did little things, like pay some bills, take out the garbage, put the new registration sticker on the car, clean out the glove compartment (why do they call it a glove compartment?) and center console, in preparation for our trip to Oregon on Saturday, and surfed the internet.

Oh, and I did do a little bit of work also!

One thing of interest I discovered, when cleaning out the center console of the car, was my SuperCuts frequent hair cut card. It's the card they fill out each time you get a hair cut, and after 9 cuts, you get the 10th one free.

I found it interesting because the last date on it was December 12, 2002, and I haven't had a hair cut since that time.

It also gave me something write about, and occupy some more of my time today.

Ooops! Gotta go, the Rifleman starts in 10 minutes.

The name derives from the original purpose of the compartment: to store ones gloves.

Rifleman? You must be bored.

Sunday John forced me to watch "Support your local Sheriff" and then "The Blues Brothers." The office got steam cleaned today on the outside to prepare for painting. You want to come in and watch paint dry?

And I am iron deficient, big time. [Which would account for my low hemoglobin] Test Result Ref Range IRON 30 59-158 mcg/dL TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY 231 250-420 mcg/dL IRON SAT 13 20-50 % My Ferritin levels were good, but that could be because Ferritin is also an "acute phase reactant", that is sometimes increased with acute or chronic disease. Folate and B12 levels were also within the normal range. The only problem now is determining what is causing the iron deficiency, which in the case of men, is [very] rare. My oncologist has given me a Globin Fecal test to perform, and has scheduled me for a consultation with a colorectal surgeon to discuss performing a colonoscopy, which could be problematic because of my large spleen. In the mean time, I've decided to start taking an iron supplement, it's only the quantity that is causing me some consternation. I've been told by a very knowledgeable person that to overcome an iron deficiency, I need to be taking 300 mg o...

This is just one of those days

It's one of those days you just want to sit around the house and do absolutely nothing, or watch some movies you have recorded. It might even be a good day to read a book, if you were so inclined, which I am not. As you should be able to see from the view out my bedroom window, it is raining outside. The rain started last night, and hasn't let up since. I can't complain too much though, as this is the rainy season, and we do need the rain. Plus Monday's are typically my day off from exercise, so I will surprise everyone, and not complain. I just feel sorry for anyone who might be visiting from, say Argentina, like a friend of mine (fellow MCLer), who happens to be in Cambria today. He might be a little disappointed. Fortunately the rest of the week, when he will be in LA, will be nice, and the real intent of his trip was to visit his son in Tahoe, who works at one of the ski resorts, and ski, so I know he's not complaining too much either. This weather will actually...

When is enough, enough?

Today I learned, Lance Armstrong, the most drug tested athlete in the history of sport, is being accused of doping, again . This time by the US Anti Doping Agency (USADA), who claim they have collected blood samples from him in 2009 and 2010 that were “fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions.” Really! What took them so long? The French have been trying to make allegations of drug doping stick for years, ever since he won his first Tour d'France, but to no avail. And now the USADA claims to have evidence to support that claim, and they've waited almost 3 years before releasing this evidence. Needless to say, I am skeptical. Then there's this from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO): Increasing the federal excise tax on cigarettes by 50 cents per pack eventually would increase Medicare and Social Security spending, slightly. Eventually? What is the CBO suggesting here? That we should encourage smoking, because if we don't, in...
