Familiar Moves

I did two things this weekend that I hadn’t done in a while. I picked up my guitar and spent a few hours learning new songs. It felt good to have my fingertips toughen up again, though I’m still a little rusty.

Then talk about rusty! My neighbor was out shooting baskets at his house, so I wandered over and played some one-on-one and Horse. He won both times, but they were very close games. It was good exercise, though, and I felt fantastic the rest of the day. Gotta make exercise a regular thing.

Chemicals everywhere!

Getting dressed in my groggy state this morning, it occured to me just how many chemicals are in our lives. Our bodies are practically swimming in chemicals. That’s gotta have an effect on the body.

Centenarians walking among us are always asked “what’s the secret to long life?” I wonder if part of their secret is avoiding the chemical bombardment present in everyday products. Of course there’s no real alternative, unless you’re willing to grow your own food (with organic fertilizer), distill your own water (well water is polluted, too), and generally be paranoid about the things you come in contact with.

Ah, life in modern society. Our breastfed son Travis doesn’t know how good he has it. 🙂
