Every day is a New Year

Today the calendar says it is a new year. Lately, I have not placed that much emphasis on the calendar changing from year to year. Every day is the beginning of a new year.

It is hard to believe that a decade has come and gone. Until a few weeks ago when I was watching a TV show and they had a top 10 list of moments of the decade I did not even realize that we had reached the end of this decade.

Physically I feel fine. When I look at pictures of myself, other than bags under my eyes, less hair on my head (but more in my ears) and the need for bifocals, all other body parts seem to be in good working conditions.

Mentally, I find I need to concentrate to remember facts that years ago were easier for me. I used to be able to watch TV, read a newspaper and talk with another person and could process and remember all of it. Now I can only do one of the three at a time.

My blog is going to be changing a little. I am not much of a writer (when I took the SAT the only points I scored in the English section were for spelling my name correctly). Biking will still be the central theme and focus, but on some days I may write on other topics.
