Three is the Magic Number

Hi Dear Readers!

Happy Boxing Day and I hope this post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).

I was thinking this morning...you know...THREE really is the magic number.

That's all I had. I can't find any empirical basis for THREE being the magic number, it just kind of is. THREE is the last of the triple CONSECUTIVE prime numbers (also comprising ONE and TWO), I think. Three also gives us the word THRICE, as in "the rock-n-roll band GUPPY EFFECT has THRICE the rocking power of other name bands."

The Tenets of the Church of Bike With Joe come in a triple package - a 100% plant based diet, daily aerobic exercise, and complete abstinence from social and mainstream media (SMSM). There is another minor religion out there that has something called the Holy Trinity. It describes that religions's weird deity, with it's multiple personalities.

Well, it's the day after Christmas - also known as Boxing Day in Australia and other British Commonwealth countries (a historical relic in which the "hired help" are given small gift boxes...often containing the undesirable primary gifts that are secondarily re-gifted, or so I am told).

There is much to be thankful for. So, have at it.

Post Holiday Post

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).

I had a pretty spectacular long holiday weekend, following a pretty spectacularly long work day prior to it. On Thanksgiving Thursday morning, I prepped some food for the family feast later in the day (starting at noon at my folks' house). This comprised baking a couple of vegan mock turkey roasts along with some assorted vegetables. We also had some pies, ice cream, and whipped cream in the freezer that we took along to my folks' house.

When we got to my folks' house, my sister and her family were already there. We set about heating up food and then ate it, followed by some board gaming, before heading home. Friday was a super chillaxed "do nothing"day at home, until we visited Deborah's son's family in the evening for more board gaming. A blizzard arrived on Saturday, resulting in another totally chillaxed and laid back day, punctuated only by the occasional shoveling of snow to create a path across our back deck to the yard, so that our dogs could do their business occasionally.

Sunday morning necessitated a snow blowing session. The snowblower started up easily and I made short work of the approximately one foot of fairly fluffy snow. Later in the morning, Deborah and I went to the gym - by way of some errands - to lift weights for 30 minutes. I had GUPPY EFFECT duo band practice in the afternoon with Stefan. Then I just chillaxed some more.

How was your holiday weekend? Leave a COMMENT below.
