April SNOW Showers

Aside Nick MomrikLeave a comment

Last Sunday was it was 70 and sunny. I was out golfing. It was April Fools Day and the joke was on us. The past few days have brought temperatures in the 20s and snow. I drove up to Rogers City last night and ran into a snow storm with 2 inches of fresh snow. […]

Enjoying the Weather Among Other Things

I’ve been enjoying the weather for the past several weeks which means spending less and less time on the computer. That also means less time for blogging and less updates here as well as my other blogs. I’ve also cut back on my poker playing dramatically which takes away computer time as well. This is all a good thing.

Time has been spent golfing as much as possible and getting my bike out. Just the other day I rode 15 miles in an hour and felt great. I need to be ready to ride about 24 miles with hills in three weeks when I go up north for Mother’s Day. The plan is to ride around Hubbard Lake with Mo and kick his ass. He’s been talking a little bit too much shit and I don’t like to lose many challenges. Just ask him about our weight loss competition for last week!

I’m still using my elliptical 3-4 days a week in addition to bike rides and doing some ab workouts as well. I’m down about 15 pounds from two and a half months ago and feeling good.

Golf league started this week and I might be joining a summer bowling league with some friends that starts on May 2nd. I like to keep busy during the summers and get out as much as possible which is completely different from the cold Michigan winters.

My sleep problems are pretty much under control now. I’m on Lunesta which has been doing the trick. I tried Ambien CR and some other new drug that start with an R, but Lunesta worked the best by far. It’s amazing what a good night of sleep does for the body.

In a few days I should be able to reveal the secret I mentioned a few weeks ago. It’s been taking up a lot of my thinking and I can’t wait to get it over with and out in the open. Maybe then I’ll be able to resume a regular blogging schedule. What “regular” actually means for blogging I’m not quite sure anymore.

Marching On

I love the month of March for two reasons. March Madness and the coming of warmer Michigan weather.

The month of March is heaven for college basketball fans and NCAA bball just happens to be my favorite sport to watch. The teamwork, intensity, atmosphere, and everything about the game draws me in. I’ve already been tuned in to a lot of the conference championship games from last weekend and I’m about to start filling out my bracket. When you have your pride and money on the line in a bracket pool it makes you so much more interested in the outcomes of every single game. The eventual NCAA champ will need to win their final 6 games of the season before they can cut down the nets on the first Monday in April.

Nicer Michigan weather means I start to get the golf itch. Golf is my favorite sport to play as I keep getting older, because it’s a game most people can play most of their life. It’s you against the course out there. There is a lot of skill to the game, but also a lot of luck and mental toughness to it as well. I’ve already planned a trip down to Indiana or however far south we need to drive in order to play some golf. My Dad, a few of his friends, and I will be making the trip at the end of the month to wet our appetites before we can start hitting the links here a few weeks afterwards. With the changes I’ve made to my diet and workouts I’m really looking forward to the effects it will have on my golf game.

On Tuesday it was a sunny 85 degrees here in Michigan and and Thursday night I mowed my lawn. Right now it’s in the low 30’s and snowing. Yes…it’s snowing in late April! There’s a Winter Weather Alert in effect through noon Sunday with up to 8 inches expected. Gotta love Michigan weather.
