Trust

So, I had a very interesting thought on my drive home from work yesterday. Trust. Think about how much you trust other people on the road. I was getting off at my exit when I had this deep thought. My exit has two lanes that get off the freeway - I was in the left hand lane. Well, for one instant, the car next to me looked like it was going to go straight, cutting me off and possibly causing an accident. That got me thinking how many times you just assume that other drivers are going to do the right thing. Now, there are some pretty incompetent people in this world, and you're literally putting your life in their hands every time you get on the road! I was talking to Tim about it... for example, when you go through a four way intersection, do you look before you go if your light is green. In all honesty, I have to say that 90% of the time I probably don't. Tim does because he was t-boned, but I have a feeling that most of us don't. We just trust that the other people aren't going to run that red light. Is that unsafe? Probably... I just thought it was very interesting how much trust we place in complete strangers hands.

I am very sad to report that the Kings are officially out of the playoffs. No more basketball until next season. It was actually a pretty good game last night - they lost by four points. Two plays. I think some serious reorganization needs to be done in the offseason this year. Get rid of the crap and bring in some good stuff to help Bibby and Peja out! I've actually heard rumors that the Kings are taking a look at Phil Jackson as a coach. Wouldn't that just be great. The Zen-Master himself coaching in Sacramento! (for those of you who don't watch basketball, Phil Jackson coached our archrivals, the Lakers, through the years when both teams were actually good and had a nice rivalry going. We don't like him one bit). I guess we'll just wait and see!

I am proud to say that this week I have stuck with my exercise program. My goal is to do something every day. Even if it's only 15 minutes of biking at the gym (as was the case today because I woke up with a headache). I have to report that I am feeling pretty darned good. My energy level is up and I feel like I'm getting my buff legs back. I miss being tone. So now I'm getting up about an hour earlier and trying (note the word trying) to get to bed a little earlier. Tim is also on the program and I think he's having results too!

Well, that's all from here. It's Wednesday - that's halfway there! Have a great day!
