Even in Death Life goes on....

Two weeks ago this saturday I had a friend die of cancer she was only 46 I am 44. Believe me when I say this hit close to home. Even though she smoked like a smoke stack that does not mean in two years that I will not be sticken with cancer. However life goes on. I had a very enjoyable girls day out with Julie and Alexa S. We rode the mayors ride. Great day, great ride, great friend. This morning I get a call from Bill, Seymour one of the cats that we had adopted had been hit and killed by a car. I was and am second guessing myself should I have taken him to the animal rescue league. Would he have been better off there. Bill and I aquired 5 cats from the neighbors when they just left them, I loved them like I did my own house cats. However life goes on. One of the adoptes had 4 kittens on Tuesday and Seymour is one of the dads. Death is very difficult however we need to live life to the fullest for we have no idea what tomorrow bring. I want all of you to give a hug and tell those the you love that you love them. whether they are people or animals. Dont let anyone fool you animals have feeling to. There is a saying that starts out like this...Dance as if no one is watching...I love to dance music is good for the soul ..Tonight I have been drinking toasts to those friend that I have lost....Animal and people...thank you for being a friend and I hope that you are at the pearly gates waiting for me when it is my time to go...Until then I am going to do alot of dancing...come and dance with me...PEACE

The Final Curtain has Closed

Since December all of my time and energy has been on the play No No Nanette, from learning lines to helping build the set. As with anything in life all good things must come to an end. Last night the final curtain closed on NCT's production of No No Nanette. It was a great run for the theater and the cast. I am having what they call post production depression. It usually happens. For the past 4 months I have been so focused on the play and then it is all over. I know in my heart that it is time for something else however I will miss the people and the performances.

The show was set in the 1920's so that ment pen curls and for some reason my hair took the longest..














I was the crabby maid













However a play is not all work we have alot of fun goofing around....











So the final curtain has fallen and I thank all of the cast/crew for a great show!







My biking has been put on hold for the play, now the bike and road are calling to me. It is time to make up some miles and enjoy the nature that God has created.

PEACE...

I am still alive..

I cannot believe that it has been over a month since I last posted. March was a very very busy month. We had play practice 5 nights a week so life was basically sleep, work, play practice, sleep, work, play practice. My biking has really suffered. However only this week and then I can hit the roads again.

We opened last Friday night with NO NO Nannette. We had a great crowd that makes all of the hours of practice worth while. If you need something to do this weekend drive down to Newton YMCA to see No No Nannette. It isnt everyday you get to see me with pin curls and a cigarette.

I have kept swimming but I have not been on a bike in over a week. Bad Julie I know. I promised that I would not ride on the road this week. I do not want to risk an injury. But wait until next week I have a lot of making up to do.

Here are my goals for this year.

1. Ride 2000 + Miles, I dont know if I can to this again but it is worth a try.
2. Do 3-100 mile rides all different routes.
3. Do a race be it a mt bike race, road race or cross race.
4. To just enjoy the bike sometimes I forget that it is for fun. I have a tendency to make it a job. That is why I gave biking up 10 years ago. It was not fun anymore. I do not want that to happen again.

I will post some pics when I get them from the play. Until then Keep riding and keep smiling...

PEACE
