One day off...

I don't know about most people, but I live for experiences I make for myself on my days off, and I don't intend to spend those days sitting in front of a television set watching others pretend to live, I intend to live myself!  I work six days per week, at a job I enjoy, but it doesn't generate a lot of money and it is taxing on me as I'm always moving, always doing something; I do this six days per week to earn very little, but it is a job that allows me time to write, allows me to walk to work (very close to home), and for now, is something I don't languish at the thought of having to do it everyday (the major selling point for me...I absolutely HATE working at something I don't enjoy....when I was doing drywall finishing, the only thing I liked was that I worked with good friends.)


So my "one day off" has to be something I will enjoy.  I almost always include a trip to the gym.  Why?  I spoil myself with my gym membership.  To me, a gym isn't something that I hate doing, or look at like work, it's something I look forward too, because I commit a couple of hours to a gym experience in which I

know I will find my "runner's high" as I tackle a 60 minute/10 mile jaunt on the eliptical.  I will receive a water massage as a relax in the hot tub that actually has a waterfall flowing into it that I sit beneath and let it work the tension out of my neck and shoulders.  After that I enter the steam room and take in the menthol and heat before a nice long shower.  To me such an experience as I just gave brief description too is worth more than paying for that extra cable channels that I'd be watching those two or three hours I wasn't at the gym.  (Only three if I include weight training and crunches as well.)

Today though, I wanted to give back.  I looked up Red Cross on the internet found an address that was only about a 25 minute drive from home and thought I give a donation after my workout, only to discover I couldn't find the fucking place!  According to the directions I arrived at my destination but the expected locale was absent from the scene.  Fortunately, during this process I passed a little haven by the name "the Original Buffalo Tap."  It's a bar and grill, and having run 10 miles, I'm hungry and I always love a good bar!  :-)  Since I can't find my destination, I stop in here and learn they have free wifi, elk & buffalo burgers, and 25 oz beers on tap (if you like dark stouts, I recommend Old Rasputin Nitro Stout!)  So now, I have just experienced my first Elk Burger (Diablo Style).  I enjoyed my meal and recommend a visit...if ever there I recommend their cole slaw it is their own recipe and a wonderful accompaniment to their spicy options, including a Thai Hot BBQ and a Spicy Caribbean.

It is here I find myself on my "one day off" and typing this little blog, soon to pick up my roommate and find our way to an evening of shopping for a new gas grill, and nfl football for our enjoyment and delinquent and intoxicated indulgences.

Peace,
