Back In E Day
Back in E day . . . my husband and I had Philadelphia Flyers’ season tickets. Back in E day . . . we would make the two-plus hour round trip to the arena a couple times each week to attend games, arriving home after midnight. Back in E day ….
Monday’s Monotonous Miles
Especially on a Monday, my daily ride on my exercise bike feels like a representation of my life in general: working hard, pedaling through the pain and fatigue, sweating, trying to think about ANYTHING except what is happening, wishing I was somewhere else, pushing myself to beat the competition that…
