It's fun to build garages...

Inside Post/Inside Feeling!

Not to sound too mellow dramatic or anything... But, right now I feel like I am definitely struggling... Again, don't call the EMT or any type of intervention, I just feel that it's ok to let people know.

I'm struggling because I feel no happiness right now... My joy is gone, and why, it escapes me... It's definitely not like any one situation has happened, maybe contempo casual just isn't today's feeling...

You see, times are tough right now for a lot of people in my life. Seperations, divorce, friends moving, new work details... Not to mention that everyone seems to be making less money at the moment and prices are skyrocketing.

My joy has been replaced with sadness... That is definitely the feeling, I just am sad right now.

I'm not going to solve it.... I just want to give Newport a hug...and go back to bed...


.......We all have a weakness.. But some of ours are easier to identify...Look me in the eye, and ask for forgiveness; We'll make a pact to never speak that word again... Yes you are my friend.... We all have something that digs at us, at least we dig each other so when weakness turns my ego up, I know you'll count on the me from yesterday... If I turn into another... Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me... Sing this song! Remind me that we'll always have each other, when everything else is gone...
......We all have a sickness that cleverly attaches and multiplies... No matter how hard we try. We all have someone that digs at us, at least we dig each other so when sickness turns my ego upI know you'll act as a clever medicine... If I turn into another.. Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me. Sing this song! Remind me that we'll always have each other... When everything else is gone...When everythingElse is gone...

Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore

Recently, a friend and I took advantage of a lovely sunday afternoon. We went to my favorite calming place in the world.. The Sleeping Bear Dunes, and we took Newport!

A couple of pics that capture that day...

Summer of 2nd.

Well folks, last night concluded the gtyc summer racing series. And man, what a humdinger it was!

Breeze on! Our J-33 seemed to like these conditions... Although the bigger boats would nip us upwind, we were definitely fast under our S2 symmetrical.

We ended up winning last night, which cemented 2nd for our fleet in the summer series... Seems like we've been the bridesmaid quite a bit this year... Was nice to squeek out a bullet last night.

J-100 Day

I love sailing on new boats... Today, I was happy to sail on the new J-100 and man, oh, man... What a riot...

I actually was lucky enough to be aboard two 100's today... 1.) in charlevoix... the second 2. ) in Harbor Springs.

The second is the one in which I got to go sailing...

Although not a complete 'sportboat' , this daysailor kind of exceeded my expectations... It was a blast.

I met the owner, a single female socialite , who summers in Haba...She was awesome, new to sailing, and I think... grew to love me... We set out in a southerly breeze from Irish at a good clip towards the point... This boat likes to move...

I had to take some photos of the mainsail, and make nice-nice in my efforts to gain a strong hold back into the Haba Market. Everything set well and looked nice...

It was a good sail, and I look forward to working with Ms. 'Courage'...

Pressure! PRESSURE!

Man, it's been a while folks... And with do cause... It's the end of the season? or is it...

I have whittled myself into a position of do this... do that... oh... and while you're at it, make sure this and that and that other thing get done... Please do it with a smile, and don't screw up...

Damn, everyone has always told me the importance of saying no... But, why is that the most difficult thing for me to do? I find myself getting myself deeper and deeper into situations where I feel like I can't see the light sometimes...

I feel at the crossroads of either a complete success in life, or yet, maybe a complete breakdown? I feel that emptyness of being extremely one dimensional again, and worst of all ... I'm tired.

This is typical of my inability to let others down, my thrive to juggle the world and hang onto too many responsibilities... After all, if I didn't... who would?

So, with the sence of this being my theraputic response to taking myself too seriously in a pampered existance... I'm back to blog...
