Last night I went to bed at 10:45 and slept through the
night waking/getting up at 7am. Yay!
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show, took half an Excedrin Migraine then left for the
gym. I completed all my exercises in 90
minutes.
After lunch I took a nap for about 90 minutes.
I watched Part 2, lessons 39-50 of Josh Rosen’s DVD The London System which finished the
training materials.
The Colombia vs Qatar match started at 4:30. Teresa said she was afraid but I told her not
to worry as I didn’t believe Qatar is a soccer powerhouse.
I forgot to mention that the other day in an Iceland match
every one of their player’s last names ended in “son”. LOL.
3,683 steps today.
Joke of the day
As a bagpiper, I play many
gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service
for a homeless man.
He had no family or friends, so
the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country.
As I was not familiar with the
backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late
and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in
sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating
lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.
I went to the side of the grave
and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else
to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their
lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man
with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this
homeless man.
And as I played "Amazing
Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept
together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for
my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car,
I heard one of the workers say,
"I never seen anything
like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
