More reminders, Preview

Last night I played volleyball despite having a lot of lower body soreness going in. I took three Advil prior to playing which kept me functional. When we started it was just brutally warm and humid. I was soaked and covered in sand after one game. Luckily some clouds rolled in later. Unluckily they were rain clouds that wound up cutting our session down a little bit, which was fine with me. My body didn’t need any more pounding than necessary.

While I was there I heard some more sad news about another volleyball player I knew and played against had passed away last week. He was 55, a year younger than I am. He left behind a one year old child as well which makes it even more tragic. This news came a few months after the passing of the beloved woman that used to organize our volleyball nights. This was one of those increasingly frequent reminders of just how uncertain life is and why you need to put the time you have to good use. You never know when the hour glass is going to drop that last grain of sand. Since I got done playing early due to rain I had a chance to go grab dinner at Bruninas afterward.

For the first time in a few weeks I have a normal two day weekend. It is looking to be a busy one. In addition to my normal pickleball sessions I have some wheel work to get done and another subscriber from my YouTube channel coming to town to ride with me on Sunday. I have met up with a lot of people that only found me via my channel and it universally has been a positive experience. I am hoping for yet another example.
