Well, it happened. As quickly as my gym opened–it closed. I guess they were optimistic about a court case in Michigan, filed by gym owners everywhere seeking to open in light of everything else opening. Oops. They lost the case and now have to close again.

I don’t know about you, but I am very frustrated with the lockdown, now that it appears there is a double-standard. Those of us that want to workout, go to work, get back to some semblance of living normally can’t, while knuckleheads across the country loot, burn, and deface. Protests in the U.S. have violated social distancing and number in the thousands of participants.

But I will digress. I can’t control what other people do, even my government, unless it’s at the ballot box. So, I’ll revert to my philosophy of controlling me and letting the rest be what it may.

That said, my workouts will now be home again, using exercise bands.

I hope you enjoy today’s Ted Talk, that explains when a pandemic ends.

Enjoy!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – What Orwellian Really Means.

For those of you who have never read the book titled 1984 by George Orwell, I highly recommend it. It is a book where the government monitors every thought, every action, rewrites the dictionary, and rewrites history. And I mean rewrite history. When the government of George Orwell’s horrific future wants to change history, they literally erase it from every book, every monument, every document.

I hope each of you has a terrific Tuesday!

Until next time…

For most of the world, we are slowly reopening. My state of Michigan is reopening on June 8, 2020. Thank, God! I can’t wait to get back to the gym.

Here’s a great educational video about when a pandemic is over. It’s pretty informative. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Tuesday!!

Until next time…

Today’s Ted Talk discusses Veteran Suicide. As you’ll hear, the numbers of veterans who take their lives compared to the number of veterans killed in action is staggering. I won’t ruin this, you’ll have to watch it. This is an informative and appropriate video considering the Memorial Day holiday yesterday.

If you have any veterans in your family that are having trouble, get them help, before it’s too late.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – Early Birds and Night Owls

Being a night owl has enormous advantages to the work I do. I write, I read, I code, and I research. It’s best for me to do these things when I can’t sleep (between 12 am and 3 am), because the others in the home are in bed. No interruptions, it’s very quiet, and again, no interruptions.

I enjoy watching videos and reading papers about sleep patterns and here is one that may explain why this time works for me (I’m definitely a night owl) and why my schedule may not work for someone who is genetically disposed to being an early bird. I hope you enjoy the short video below. It’s pretty informative.

Have a great Tuesday!

Until next time…
