Body Snatched?
Even though I've put in a 16-hour day and am alone in a two-star hotel in Grand Rapids, it's been a pretty good day. Despite struggling through a lousy workout in the broom closet of dilapidated equipment that is unashamedly listed as a "fitness center," I'm in a good mood. Never mind that I had a bag of peanuts and a bottle of Gatorade from the gift shop for dinner, and who cares if there is no liquor to be found. I feel good.
Maybe it's because the last of the virus that spent last week speed-bagging my tonsils and log-jamming my colon has finally vacated the building. Or it could be because I accomplished the non-profit equivalent of closing the big deal today. Then again, maybe I'm just really stoked about having a fun writing project to work on...on which to work...whatever. I don't know.
The point is, I'm happy. I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow and spending time with my wife and my cats. The weather is supposed to be good, so I'll have a nice drive. Plus, we've got tickets to a bunch of shows at the Cleveland Film Festival this weekend, so I've got that going for me.
I guess the only question is this: Aren't I supposed to be pissed off about something? What about the douche-bag on the airplane who wouldn't shut-off his Blackberry during the landing, even though he was asked three times, once by another passenger? What about the fact that I had to stop at three different places to find an unoccupied commode when my Sudafed-induced constipation suddenly left me while driving in the middle of buttfuck Michigan?
Nope. I got nothing. Nothing except a boring-ass post about being a happy, grinning idiot for no apparent reason.
Christ, what's wrong with me?

You sound pretty gruntled.

It's amazing how good it feels to not be sick. I wish I could have that feeling when I haven't been sick.

Lots to be said for savoring the small pleasures that dot an ordinary day.

ACW: If that means constipated, then yes.
ROBIN: Not worth the price, but I agree.
KEL: You calling me ordinary?!

Hi, at the moment I'm researching with my iphone four new layout tips and so I have discovered your website. Your layout is definitely effortless but also compare it for a posts. I imagine I would use it for my initial draft. Thank you for this idea!

Purchasing airline tickets online - when is the best time to purchase? When is the best time to purchase international airline tickets online? I had heard that the best deals only appear about 2 months before departure date, as that is when airlines will try to get rid of their empty seats - has anyone heard this or am I all wrong. I'm getting concerned - we are planning a trip to France in June and right now, tickets are expensive - but I wonder if they will be cheaper in April.

Great post with many different useful details. My fitness routine consists mainly of high intense interval training. I find that I am most productive I exercise inside the morning.
