Today I went back to the town I used to live in.  I spent more than half of my life there. As I drove past my old house today, I glanced at it.  That was all.  Just a glance.  I was no longer connected.  I didn’t feel a thing.  I didn’t care.  I just wanted to come home to Virginia.  I remembered my way around, and I saw people I used to know.  I had lunch with Lisa.  That was nice.  I forgot to take a picture.

I had gone back for my annual physical.  My doctor suggested I eat a Mediterranean diet.  He told me to eat a lot of olive oil.

I took a sauna when I got home.  Half way through, I went outside and rolled in the snow.  It was shocking.  Painful.  Exhilarating.  I’ll try that again. 

Afterwards, I made dinner.  A salmon steak rubbed with garlic.  Tomato, parsley, onion, fresh mozzarella, garlic stuffed olives.  Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, an Italian roll.  It made me wonder why I didn’t make something like that sooner. It was a good day.  I tried new things.  I think I learned a lot.
