They say that it takes 21 days to form a habit
I have also heard people say even longer. But, after tonight, I have decided that some times it only takes two days. Went with Lori and Kelsea to see an old friend, Joel Thompson, sing and play guitar at a place called Clean Jeans and Coffee Beans (yes, it's a combination coffee house and laundromat). As much as I have enjoyed listening to Joel and his various other bands play in the past, I have always preferred just hearing him sing and play guitar solo. Joel would be embarassed and likely disagree, but I think he has a very Dan Fogleberg-esque quality to his voice. So, I sat there, enjoying the music while glancing at the clock every so often. Glancing at the clock because I figured he would play until around 9:00 and I would still have time to go to the club before it closed at 10:00. Well, as he was wrapping up I made a comment about leaving so I could go and was politely reminded by my wife that the club closes at 9:00 on Fridays! Of course, I should know that... but maybe that illustrates the lack of Fridays that I have spent in the gym. I was crushed. Now, having said this, I did walk 30 minutes at lunch. But, I was still crushed and craved just a little more exercise. I couldn't believe my disappointment in knowing I was going to miss a day. I still came home and made due. We braved the cold and took a 40 minute walk and I felt great. But, I will argue with anyone that sometimes habits only take two days and I will never forget the closing time of the Pueblo Athletic Club on Fridays ever again! Here's to great friends and great music! Have a great night...
