"This is the Day the Lord Has Made"

I seem to remember a line something like that from my youth with the catholics.  I don't  remember whether it was part of one of the voodoo rituals, or part of a hymn or whatever, but for some reason it has stuck with me.  Regardless of whether you call him (her/it),  God or Lord or Creator, or Providence, or Gitchi Manitou, I'm pretty sure there's one of them out there somewhere, and this day he made especially for me.

How can I tell?

Well let me tell you!  I woke up this morning in the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in (it's in my bedroom), beside the only woman I've ever loved (she still turns me on), went for a nice run around the block (some people can't do that), then spent most of the day with my little brother Terry (who I hate to admit has better technical aptitude than me) doing stuff I really like (working with my hands), went to visit my son Jon for 5 mins (turned into 45) and then headed back home to that same bed with my sweetheart in it.

"This is the day the lord has made"

Terry and I were working on this....a home for his motorcycle.


Old John came by for a while as well, but he didn't do dick all, so he couldn't be in the picture.  And any mistakes I made were because he was constantly distracting me.  But he did give me a few hundred peg board hooks so we're good John!

And if there is still any doubt in your mind as to whether this day was made for me I give you this.  The 401 was under construction on my way home, and the traffic was backed up for at least 10 kms......going the other way!!

7 km run---35 mins

....I really love this one, and it's especially for you Old John...
