jayday life tune-ups
As jayday approaches, I've been thinking about my life direction and wondering if it might be a good time to take on some exciting new challenge. This morning, I looked at myself in the mirror as I was shaving and said, "Hey pal, looks to me like you need to take up gladiator training!" But then I remembered that chain mail always tends of make my butt look fat.
I know! Bagpiping! Nah, my co-op neighbors are still mad at me over the steel drums I took up last year.
A cattle drive! That's the ticket! Get along l'il doggies! Hold on, I'm allergic to cows. And beans don't agree with my digestion. (I'm no fool, I saw "Blazing Saddles.")
The point is to use this time of year to take on some challenge to reinvigorate your sense of engagement with the world, whether it be taking up sailing, sushi-making, or that old favorite, skydiving.
Remember what Jay used to say: "No lateral moves!"
Posted by alburty at June 13, 2003 11:07 AMI was thinking I might clean my apartment..but then I realized there is such a thing as taking change too far!
Now I think I'll just try that greek place for lunch. And maybe skydiving.

They are walking from Chicago to San Francisco for no real reason and seem to enjoy the fact that people think they're stupid for doing so.
Inspired by their example, I walked from my couch to the fridge this afternoon. I found this itinerary so delightful, I'm thinking of repeating the trip as soon as possible.
