Hey Pine and Mr. G,

I agree on the workout being key. It refocuses us to better, more fulfilling activities that don't have anything to do with drinking. I have a race in a month that I can actually win my age category (45-49) plus a little prize money if I get down to a 6:30 mile and I'm going to work it, alcohol completely inconsistent with my goals.

Right on A Dubbya. Will find me a 10k race to aim for. Let us know how you go.

Thanks FAL. It is you who rock! Hope all's as good as it can be there.

A very good morning to y'all from Oz. I see a new album being flogged on the idiot box for Anoushka Shankar. Wonder what it's like?

Off to work today, and the double time sunday rates are always appreciated.

Day 33 or something here, and all good. Hope everyone's having a joyous weekend.

Yo! Ooroo.

Enjoy the double time Mr. G!

Never been a great fan of sitar and I don't know why because it's a great musical and cultural instrument. As a musician myself I feel like I'm committing a mortal sin when I say this but it all seems to sound the same. I've gone through so many phases - rock, folk, bluegrass, jazz, flamenco. Took a trip to Nashville, TN this past year and now have found an appreciation for western swing and have an instructional DVD by Joe Dalton that I've been working in my spare time called Big Twang. Having a lot of fun with it. Hope your music is shining Mr. G.

Top stuff on the western swing A dub. Are you a fan of Dale Watson, the texas muso?
He comes to Australia quite often.

A maagnificent training session followed by lunch and chillin' on the beach. Noice. Stress, worry, or depression find it hard to get a look in when you're so chilled and knackered after going for what seems like 50 rounds in the ring.

Have a great week y'all and think positive. No time left for any negatives really. Life is too short. Yo!

Hey Mr. G,

Yes, a fan. Also a big fan of Brent Mason and your fellow countryman Tommy Emmanuel. I appreciate all of the players that put a lot of heart into it.

Tommy's a fine player, and i love that he get's around all over to play. I haven't heard Mason, but will look him up. I've got my sights on a cool battery powered Roland street cube busking amp for a few street gigs.

Yo Niner! How's it going? Are you feeling better? What are you cooking? I'm eating plenty of spinach, but haven't used it as a pick up prop for awhile. Thanks for the reminder! Maybe that's why i haven't been getting lucky. I need that green glow around my mouth that i know you ladies go crazy for!

Well, day 37 and the feelings gooood. My new boxing gym membership is proving to be a valuable support tool in building strong foundations for my sobriety this time around.

Have a safe, sober, and magical week y'all. :h

G'day Spud!

Indeed. Glad you dropped in. How r ya?

A bit clogged up in me head at the moment. Must be all that thinking i did today at school. So a quiet weekend training/exercise wise i reckon. Maybe a light jog/walk/jog.

Wishing everyone a safe sober and magical weekend.

Great to see you back Spud. MWO is a useful joint to hang out i reckon. There is plenty of top reading and inspiration on this site, especially in one of my fave places of all, our https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html

Yep, Up and up for me. There really are no limits.

Have a beaut weekend everyone.

Hey Spuddleduck, glad you're getting it together - now is always the best time to do it.

Mr. G hope the new amp and an open guitar case bring lots of tips into the mix. I'm glad the gym is helpful. I'm going to run a 10k in a couple of weeks and really want to make it a personal best and it's been really helpful taking my mind off of other things that don't move me forward.

Thanks A dub. I have felt similar when i've signed up for a run and/or have a goal. It's empowering for me to focus on a 'me' goal, and then any other stuff that may be pissing me orf becomes even more trivial (as i see it for what it is) and less important to me.

Hey Mr. G,

Now among the internet connected so thought I'd fly in and say howdy. How's life down under treating you today?
