Beware of side effects

It's that time again.....golf season. I enjoy the sport and I try to get out for a few rounds a year. Every year I have the goal of getting better and ever year I don't get out enough to make difference . This year looks no different, I have played one 18 and one 9 hole round and have another 3 tournaments booked for the year. Hopefully, I can get one or two more rounds in but just not enough playing to get better. With the two rounds under my belt, I noticed a few things, I'm hitting the ball longer and staighter. How can this be? I know it's not the clubs or the numerous times I have already played. It's my Kung fu training! With my increase in flexibility and strength, I have inadvertently improved my golf game. Bonus! This was something I have been wanting to do for a while and now I'm starting to make progress through my commitment to another activity I really enjoy, Kung fu. Wonder what other things in my life has improved with my training. So beware of the side effects of your training, you may be pleasantly surprised.

What a busy week

What a busy week. I've been juggling a lot of things this week and I'm sure feeling tired tonight. One more day tomorrow and then a new week starts, but it doesn't look any easier. Good things Dara is great at taking care of the kids and making easier for me. I'm lucky to have her help and support. The last two weeks I've had to fly with AC jazz to a couple of meetings. I never noticed that we, the passengers, have lap belts but the cabin crew has a four point belt. Never noticed it but it kinda makes you go hmmmmmm?!

Just a posting

Had a good conference in Saskatoon, learned a little, visited a little, ate to much, drank a little, overall I'm a better elected official because of it. I learn more visiting and discussing issues with fellow Councillors, then I would have if I went to school for a month. I did manage to get a few reps in and swan twice but that was it. Didn't amount to too much training. With the decrease in exercise and increase in everything else, I've gained a couple of pounds from the conference as well. Time to right that ship in a hurry, I haven't regained my levels before my eye surgery and it's not going to get any easier. My schedule continues to fill in at an alarming rate.
