God put you here to be the best, and do the best and live the best that you can.
And when he’s ready he’s gonna take you.
Now what in the hell can a human being ask for that’s better than that?
When I was a little kid back in the 1970s, Friday was “toys day” at school. We would all bring in our favorite toys and show them off to each other. There were two toys other boys had that I badly craved for Christmas but never got and still feel a pang of yearning for even today; one was the Bionic Man Action Figure and the other was the Evel Knievel Stunt-Cycle. Possibly two of the coolest toys ever created in the history of mankind. Thing is, unlike Steve Austin, Evel Knievel was a real live awesome dude who did really amazing stunts on motorbikes and broke real bones in the process. In short, a living legend. That is he was until yesterday. I think every boy who grew up in the 70s feels a pang of loss today, like a very important and very magical part of their childhood has been taken away for good…
Anyway, (ahem!) although the weather was beautiful today and I really did want to go for a bit of a walk and explore somewhere or other, the cold medicine I’m taking proved the better of me, so after my morning job at the clinic I pedalled home and fell back into bed and slept for four hours. However, the day has not been completely wasted. After slacking off for most of November, I have finally written a new post for Deep Kyoto, this time on 六曜社 and it’s world famous donuts (doughnuts?).
