It occurred to me to write in this now deactivated blog that
is KSC but why in God’s name would I do that? The fact that I no longer spin
actively might have something to do with it and the supervening reason that I
no longer live on Long Island or am I a member of Equinox completes the circle
of why I no longer write stories about pedaling in place.
Do I miss it? Frankly no. It was a big part of my life for a
number of years but now in South Florida riding outside seems to work just fine
for me. I do miss the camaraderie I suppose but I must confess that there is
not one person that stays in contact with me. It reminds me of AA out of sight
out of mind. No hard feelings I enjoyed everyone’s company while it lasted, and
it was time well spent during a turbulent time in my life. There are certainly
reasons I could take up that would cause some harm, but I won’t do that as what
would be the purpose? Let sleeping dogs lie is a great idiom.
I check the numbers now and then and believe it or not I am
still averaging over 300 readers a month. I suppose that might be strange
considering I stopped writing over 2 years ago. Vanity might be one reason and I
would like to think that those spin instructors miss being scribed about. When
I reread some of the stories, I ask did I write that? Of course, the answer is
yes as my writing was always Faulkneresque a stream of consciousness style that
made it fluid and required very little editing. I am proud of this compendium and I had
dreamed that is might be picked up one day and fetch a bigger audience but alas
not to be. At one point I was going to
shut it down to all readers, but I thought why? I had some sour grapes, but it
was my contribution to what I called the Zen of spin.
If you should read this, I say hello and maybe I will add to
this with more thoughts at another time and space.
