Happy 2009, Good Bye 2008

-
P. B. D. and I had dinner at the Brigantine in Del Mar at 7:00PM. It was great, I really liked the cioppino. And we got out of there for only $90 for two of us.

Then it was off to Bing Crosby's in Fashion Valley for music, drinks and dancing. Well no dancing, there wasn't really room. A bar/lounge isn't the best place for me to be but I totally behaved. And that is good. P. also knew the entertainment at the spot, so that was nice to. Just a good time with good friends.

And then..................

It was 10:35PM and I was totally tired. 12:00 I can't tell you what was happening then as I was home totally asleep in bed. HAHAHA. I guess it's cause I had no fireworks to shoot off. (Which will be rectified by my drive through Las Vegas Friday!!)

Recap of some feelings from 2008:
1. I learned to like trail running
2. Having health insurance where I had to pay ZERO for two weeks in the hospital is amazingly nice
3. My time in Iraq has a huge hold on me, brief as it was in 2007.
4. If I hadn't stopped doing jiu jitsu when I did I would be a black belt now. Such regret.
5. I love the ocean and the sun and good weather.

There are so many more, but this is it for now.

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
