10) I wanna know way.... I worry about material things. Why I get stressed when "things" get damaged?
9) I wanna know why.... I can buy 30 bottles of water for $2.69 at the grocery store, but when I forget to take one of those bottles when I go somewhere, that I need to pay $2.00 for one bottle at the corner store!!??
8) I wanna know why.... my hearing is fucked, my sight is screwed, I got no spit, and my gums are receding??
7) I wanna know why.... my happiness is so significantly impacted by the happiness of others?
6) I wanna know why....things never, ever turn out the way you expect?
5) I wanna know why.... the shingles never blow off my roof when it's warm outside?
4) I wanna know why.... the years continue to slip by and yet I can't get a grip on them?
3) I wanna know why.... I gotta flush my water saving toilet 3 freakin times just to make the toilet paper disappear?
2) I wanna know why....eating feels so good when you're doing it, and so bad 2 hours later? Oh, and drinking as well, for that matter?
....and the number one thing I wanna know today...
1) I wanna know why.... I need to change my underwear 3 times a day just so I don't smell like piss!!?
I spent most of the day preparing for my race, and I admit to a bit of nervousness. This will be the first time I've stuck my head in a lake since Ironman, and the water is going to be very cold. (59 Fahrenheit)!! I think once I get beyond the swim I'll be fine, but because I remember the cold in Tremblant so well it's messing with my head a bit. We shall see. I can't very well bail cause Odd John will be doing it as well, and the shame would be overwhelming. Game on!.....I guess....
The race is actually on Sunday but we're leaving tomorrow. We have the absolute luxury of taking the RV, and assuming no one has changed the rules, staying at the race site overnite. There is nothing finer than first having a nice breakfast, taking a dump in your own private toilet, then putting your wetsuit on before stepping outside 10 mins before the start. All this while the rest of the slugs are standing in the porta-potti line or squeezing into their wetsuit in the parking lot!!
And that's it for today. I will try to remember to write a brief post before we leave tomorrow, but if I forget, sorry in advance. I will of course have the race results for you Sunday evening.

I know that you know that everyone our age knows the answers to most of these questions, so I won't act as if you really want answers. However number 3, you should talk to Terry about. He can explain it better than I and can tell you how to get a better one. Love you, old and worn out as you are. elly
