I can't believe I feel this way

Even though I was tired yesterday after my bike ride, I felt good. I didn't do much after the ride, other than eat and rest, hoping I would be recovered enough tomorrow to maybe play around of golf.

Well, I am recovered today, but I have absolutely no interest in playing golf. I don't even have any interest in going to the practice range.

Of course, I'm not sure why I should be so surprised, as it's been about 2 months since I last played, and well over a month since going to the range to practice, and I haven't had any burning desire to play all that time.

I've even turned down a few opportunities to play, because it would interfere with my bike riding, and even now that I've been sitting around the house all day today doing absolutely nothing, I still have no desire to golf.depressed.gif

It's seems I'd rather be posting to my blog.

What has gotten into me?

I just have to get out of the house.

Maybe I'll go to the gym. Believe it or not, I have more interest in doing that, than playing golf.

Maybe golf just isn't cutting it for you anymore.

Or if worse comes to worse, you could come to work.

PS 3929/30 were bought off today :-)

Yeah, believe it or not, I thought about coming to work, but then I came to my senses. :)

I don't know why you're surprised you lost interest in golf. The real surprise is that were you interested in it in the first place?

Pretty dumb pastime if you ask me.

Yeah, well, maybe, but I can remember a time when I was playing 2, 3 and sometimes 4 days a week. Now it seems to be more of a chore to go golfing, than dawning all my winter gear to go for a bike ride, in 40°F temperatures.

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...
