Tell me something good...

I really like the Portland area. Used to go there a lot, it had some really cool restaurants.

I spent part of my growing up there. The later part of my teen years. Then my family moved back to the mid coast area where one of my parents family lived. When I was 17 there my life was American graffiti for real. So many stories, lots of epic adventures. Someone once told me "portland is like a micro boston" in some ways maybe, but it's got it's own unique flavor. It's also tiny compared to Boston. I don't get to go there much anymore because it's like 100 something miles away from where I live in bangor. But I do go to Portland once or twice a year. All the places I lived are different there now, lots of gentrification. That's probably true for most of the country though, I probably only notice it more because it's a smaller city.

I used to go to Portland a lot. Used to go to Ogunquit Beach a lot as a kid. (Maybe my favorite place in the world as a kid.)

Used to go fishing in Pine Point Maine a lot in the seventies. But there was more partying than fishing going on.

Spent a lot of time in Hallowell, Maine, have a close friend there.

Damn, I miss Maine. Ayuh.

Ain't it interesting how the line between hurting and healing can be so fine...

Today I get to start my exercise recovery process so that I can get back to training. I did a few stretches today and I can tell that it's not going to be a quick process to regain my flexibility.

Did my first workout since my knee injury yesterday
Warmup, bent presses, hand release pushups, ab wheel rollouts, kata and swings. It's gonna take a long time to build up to what I had before my accident, so I'm going to progress very slowly and conservatively.

Way to go you guys! I'm in a similar boat, on my way back to normal after my lumbar sprain back in August. Been a long, slow process, but I'm about to go to my third class this week (one advanced, two fundamentals) and my back feels real good!

Now if I could just get my confidence back, I can start moving normally again!

On duty today, I'm driving up the street, and notice a young girl and her grandfather. She's clearly struggling with a bike, and as I'm waiting to figure out whether they were trying to cross or continue, she very clearly hits her frustration point. I pulled over, and gave her a coupon for a free Slurpy I happen to carry around, and helped fit the bike to her a little better. Got her started off, and she was clearly much more comfortable. Last I saw, they were still riding several blocks later.

That's the reason I do my job.

I travel for work and was on an assignment in Maine for several months. Maine's natural beauty, slower pace and overall peaceful lifestyle was an amazing experience. New Hampshire and Vermont were also gorgeous. Maine's beaches were clean/well kept, crime and taxes were low too. Maine is definitely one of those places you have to see it to believe it.
