"The only way to do it is to do it."
~~Merce Cunnungham



"The only way to do it is to do it," or so the saying goes.

I fight it all as I pull my hair back and go for an unwanted jog outside.  I don't want to, but I know it's important in keeping healthy.  I put my headphones on, and I'm on the road again, listening to Road to Nowhere.  It seems like an appropriate song.  I stop mid-jog to see my dream car driving by.  It's a 1970 SS Chevelle.

It would be a nice car to drive if it were ideal in a place like Florida.  But it's not.  Which is why I prefer my Ford F-150.  I put my headphones on, and continue my jog.

After jogging, I head back home, where Nora is waiting for me.  I hold up my fingers to her, letting her know I will eat breakfast once I shower.  She gives me a nod of approval.

I head in the shower, secretly wishing I had time to take a bath, maybe enjoy a glass of wine.  Who am I kidding?  I'm not old enough to drink.  One of my goals is to live to see 21.  We will see.

If he is right, maybe I'm not dying after all.
