Flashback

The quasi-“lockdown” has afforded time for much thinking. Unfortunately, there have been many intrusive thoughts, usually in the form of sporadic recollections of the past. From childhood to adolescence to adulthood and onto the history detailed by both the legacy journal and old “blog,” a wasted life of foolishness and stupidity was revealed in the horrid flashbacks.

Clearly, the personage in question was not perfect. However, the revelations unveil the sad truth of a person who could be simply described as a “total asswipe.” When did humility finally enter the picture? Who knows? It wasn’t soon enough, though.

Another 4.5 months of instant coffee was procured at Longs® for $17 or so. There is no anticipation for a return to coffee time at the fast food joint in town ... well, at least not for a few years as “super-duper corona” continues to circle the globe ad infinitum.

Workouts at the gym have not been encouraging. Weight workouts encompass the entirety of the first hour. Then, the return during the senior citizen time slot allows for the 30-minute cardio session. Nonetheless, there does not appear to be any possible way to return to weight regimen of old. Thus, the 15% reduction in strength is irreversible. On a positive note, muscle atrophy has definitely been arrested and reversed.

Time is also being wasted on alternative arrangements to the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Where to go? What to do? Even the homeless motorhome (read: cargo van camper conversion) is still being considered. No answers yet.

Addendum: The Spotify® “app” has been deleted, and the associated account closed. In addition, the JBL® Flip 5 wireless speaker has been boxed up for possible divestiture.
