Just don't seem to have it lately

Ever since riding Glendora Mountain Road two weeks ago, my energy seems to be sapped, and I don't feel much like riding. Top that off with a 3 day vacation, which drained even more energy out of me, and it was like I was just going through the motions on this mornings ride.

I think it was mostly the vacation that did me in this time though.  We spent Sunday through Wednesday in the Santa Ynez Valley, drinking lots of wine, and eating lots of really rich food. It was truly decadent. Can you believe I gained 5 pounds in 3 days?  Thank goodness we only went for 3 days!

Then after driving home on Wednesday, hoping to rest for the drive to work the following day, I remembered we had committed to a wine dinner that night, with even more wine and rich food.  At that point work was starting to look appealing.

Hopefullly today will give me some time to recuperate.  We are having a new entertainment center delivered, and that will take a little effort setting up, but other than that, I don't plan on doing anything.

Maybe you should ride your bike to work again (from Zuma) to lose those vacations pounds.

So, when are you and Edie going to Alaska? They have this yarn called Quivit there,it's from a Muskox, and I've been told it's softer than cashmere.

Going to Alaska. Neh, I don't thing so. At least no plans for now.

Maybe the Antarctic in February, with a week in Argentina, but that's about it.

So do penguins have fur?

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

You can't make this shit up. Really!

We had been planning to see a taping of Undateable Live for a few weeks now, and we actually made it there tonight, but on the way something awful happened. A terrorist attack in Paris. Now it might seem heartless of me to be thinking about my misfortune, having to wait over 2 hours for our driver ( the show was cancelled) ), to pick us up, when so many others are suffering an unimaginable fate, but it is what it is. If nothing else, this few hours has provided a lot of time to think [blog], what might have been, if it weren't for the likes of Republicans, and the spawning of the two individuals I blame most for the state of the world today, George W Bush, and Dick Cheney. Those two, in only 8 short years, managed to do more to destabilize the world, creating the chaos there is today, than anyone could have ever imagined. (What Saddam Hussein must be thinking now.) If anyone deserves blame for the carnage in Paris today, it is George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and they should b...
