I’m always riding life’s roller coaster it seems, but it’s nice to be on top for a change. And yeah, I know what that means is coming next but I’m going to enjoy this part of the ride as long as I can.
Undefeated in last night’s dart tournament. Some strong competition, but I threw consistently well all night. The highlight was probably an unlikely 99 out (triple 19, single 10, double 16) for a key victory in the finals. One of my better nights of darts in quite some time.
We are the champions, my friend. And we kept on fighting till the end…
After darts, I popped into The Pub to get some take-out dinner to bring home. Had a craving for the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, but couldn’t resist getting some bulgogi as well.
I don’t eat these often, but when I do, I enjoy them very much indeed…I prefer my bulgogi in a stew, but this was really good too…
What else? Well, this morning Facebook greeted me with a memory for eleven years ago:
Everything changes. That fat man is long gone, may he rest in peace.
I remember some of the anti-marijuana propaganda from my high school days would be captioned “why do you think they call it dope?”. Look how far we’ve come today:
Scary stuff.
Alright, I’ve got some photos from yesterday’s hike with the walking group to share. It was a relatively short (6K) but challenging trek up to the top of Kalaklan ridge and back down again. Good times!
Our route up and down the mountain.My fellow travelers on the journey.The climb began with these stairs…Lots and lots of stairs…Cookies for the kiddies along the way...Are we there yet? Nope, only half way up so far…Catching my breath and the view.That’s a floating island water park down there.And on we marched.It was weird coming across these kids out in the woods scavenging around for something growing wild…probably mangoes...You call this a trail?Just missed me doing a limbo dance under those branches behind me.Mountain life.Yeah, my climb wasn’t hard, comparatively speaking…Made it to the ridgeline road!The high point of the day, both literally and figuratively…My little town from above.Heading back down…One last cookie stop.On the mean streets of Barretto…in this case, Rizal street.Our hike concluded at Dynamite Dick’s.
It was a good day. Hope you enjoyed the HIGH lights…
Like me and commas…That’s it for this post…

Glad you’re back up and at em. But I’ve got to pick you up on your darts. On that 99 check out, I’d have gone 9, double top, bull. I’d have got it, too. That makes me a more stylish darter than you. You see it now don’t you. This is the internet, and you’re losing.
Dan, yeah that was my first thought but it is an amateur league–if I throw like that I might get banned!
That’s a good-looking, happily messy cheesesteak. I might have to make one now.
Congrats on the sweeping victory! And congrats on being out and about, hiking as you normally would!
Great pics!! Some beautiful views and worth the hike!
Glad to see that you seem to be back to your old (figuratively, not literally!!!!) self.
Thanks, guys. You know the old song–I’m not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was…
