Sunday we visited J in the county jail. He appears to be doing well and we had an excellent visit. He gets out this Sunday morning. Two weeks is not a long time but it feels like an eternity.
I am heading up to the lake tomorrow with B and his cousin. We will spend a few days wake-boarding and snorkeling. My next blog entry will likely be created from the coffee shop down on the causeway. I plan to spend a lot of time up at the lake this year.
I met with the CO of the local Marine Corps reserve center and he all but agreed to host the new cadet group that I am considering starting. If all goes well, we should be up and running within a couple of months. It will be quite a benefit to drill with actual marines. The unit that we will be stationed with is a hardened unit with many of the soldiers having served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I expect they will have some sobering stories to share along with a wealth of experience.
I continue to enjoy good emotional health and I am hopeful it will last at least through the summer. I have been exercising a lot lately, sometimes twice a day, and I am down to 200 lbs. I can actually see a bit of a 6 pack emerging. Not bad for a 40 something mid-lifer. I am convinced that the protein powder I have been taking has had a positive influence on my mood as well. Last night I went mountain biking for the first time in 8 years. I used to be a mountain biking addict before the depression set in.
I really feel like I am starting to live again. Let’s hope the other shoe does not drop anytime soon.

I'm glad to hear that J seemed to be in good spirits.
Things seem to be on the positive side of things, so enjoy it! Stop waiting or anticipating for the shoe to drop, because no matter what, it will. That's just the cycle of life, but worrying about it takes away from the enjoyment of NOW and the PRESENT.
Have a great time at the lake!
It's great to see you're feeling good! Those times in between depression are the best times... Enjoy every bit of it!
Have a great time at the lake!
Hello.
Here's hoping the other shoe finds somewhere else to drop. Mine was a three inch spiked heel at one time.
Yours sounds like it could be one heck of a boot.
I hope you enjoy your time to relax.
My friend and I were recently discussing about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
