” I ain’t as good as I once was
my how the years have flown
but there was a time back in my prime
when I could really hold my own
but if you wanna fight tonight
guess those boys don’t look all that
tough
I ain’t as good as i once was
but I was good once,as i ever was”
- “as Good as I once was” by Toby Keith
I will admit I have been procrastinating posting my latest blog entry. Mostly I have been really busy with Work and social things that I didn’t have the wherewithal to post anything that would sound like I cared.
Hockey/conditioning well I have been at least getting 2 days each week of exercise. While that is no stellar it is better then nothing. One of the days each week has been hockey except for this past week I did 2 days at the gym. My ankle thing is still ongoing so I stopped doing the bike and just took more treadmill time. Don’t ask why but the treadmill doesn’t bother it but the bike does. Hockey we won and we lost. The loss was really ugly. This week coming up we play my old team. I am anxious about making sure I perform at my best for this weeks’ game. At least my best at the moment not my overall best I know I am far from my overall best.
Socially things have been great I have been to the movies, the Philadelphia Wings, Philadelphia Phantoms, Philadelphia Flyers and out to dinner. It has been just fabulous. I can’t say enough about how happy I am with the direction my social life is going.
Volunteerism, I am again signed up to take a shift at the Camden Children’s garden booth for the Flower show. I am hoping that this year goes better then last year. Last year was such a mess for me I am just hoping I don’t have a repeat performance.
Ok my little sports rant….
First it was Peter Forsberg trade rumor now Dale Jr has to have issues with Teresa. Can’t everyone just please get along. Honestly I don’t want to hear about all the drama.
I feel horrible for both Dale Jr and Peter Forsberg. I think that they are both in highly uncomfortable situations. I hope both things resolve with out further drama.
My lesson for the week is that I am the only one to blame for my mistakes and failures. No one else did what I did. I have to work harder at my all around game. I am not just talking about hockey either. I mean every aspect of life requires effort, commitment and determination. I can’t work harder in one area and slack in another I have to find ways to keep it all going at the same measure. I don’t think that this is an easy task. I haven’t learned all that balance. I think I have progressed I just don’t think that I am operating at 90 -100% in all areas. Some areas are getting 20% some are getting 150%. I have to get everyone to the same level then increase the level. Sometimes you will suffer set backs and sometimes you will be told you suck now go fix it. That is life right…
Thank you all for being patient with me. I hope everyone has a good week ahead. I promise to be back on a more regular schedule.
GO Flyers!!!!! Go Dale Jr (15 days to Bud Shootout)!!!!!!!!
