Black marks for me today. I had a candy bar instead of walking in the sun. Then i had another candy bar when it looked like it was going to be a painful commute. But the accident was cleared by the time i got to it and there was just a slowdown. Christine had a good dinner ready and an episode of Hawaii Five-O cued up, but i felt it meant i should have cookies and watch another episode -- not do laundry. I recall playing basketball in junior high with the guy from across the street. I was clumsy and so would foul unintentionally often. The guy would get frustrated and coach me to foul like i meant it. And then run me over on the way to the basket.

Tonight, i fouled like i meant it, so i'll take my black mark.

Then again "While most children like sweets, those with an extra-sweet tooth may be depressed or at higher risk of future alcohol problems, researchers say.... ...past studies have suggested sweets may help act as analgesics as well as mood lifters." -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8506758.stm

I saw that study too, and it resonated. Is that basketball memory good, bad, or a little of both?

Mostly good. The guy from across the street was a couple years older and good, and so it was neat to be treated like i could possibly be an opponent on the court. We were probably flirting but i don't think i understood it at that age. (Not like i understand flirting now, thirty years later, either.)

I probably need to get motion back in my life.
