on Carly Simon

I listened to the interview from ' Here's the Thing ' hosted by Alec Baldwin or the donald as he is more popularly known

CS talked about performing and her on-going stage fright.
She started out writing songs and doing demos , so that other singers would hear and want to do the song.
Then she was asked to opened for Cat Stevens or Ali Akhbar or whatever he's called.
NO , no way
but if Russ Kunkel agrees to back me on a demo , I'll do it.
Russ Kunkel , drummer for James Taylor
Uh huh , you can see it now

I mentioned her lyrics , last post

then got to thinking about ' Anticipation '

the line

' for these , are the good old days '

and no matter what its true

Day is fine , cloudy but elements seem to be in control

A new game plan involves me getting out everyday - even doing garden clean up - working at something
moving , the key element

This above strategy is gleaned from a CBC item on long lived people. They live in what are termed blue zones around the world.
They key , low stress. They live in communities where imprecisely 
they need to move. Simple things , such as walking to the corner grocer , visiting friends , tending the garden etc.
These activities need not be strenuous but can be hiking to their herd of goats.
They move , approximately , every 20 minutes , they are required to be active.

Thus , my attempt.
So far , its lasted 2 weeks

This morning , I weeded the shrubbery , trimmed the front tree and dumped vegetation waste. I finished sorting out the ' crap ' that came out of the used to be second vehicle which was transformed into a truck
That truck is a whole chapter unto itself
