Whole Grain Reuben Sandwich with Spicy Pickles

I’m starting to get to the point where if I have an accident while enjoying nature it’s not a big deal if I can’t see a bone sticking out of my leg. You know when you have your days when you say to yourself, if I survive this hike hell yes I’m eating carbs when I get home! Reuben Sandwich here I come!

Today I had my first fall on the mountain bike. I’m sore, bruised, bloody and beat up but I think I’m going to be okay.

More important Breeder’s Cup, the horse racing world championship is in three days and I can’t miss it for anything even if it means showing up to work in a wheel chair! As I lay in the wet dirt on a secluded forest road five miles from my car today just seconds after my head hit the trail and I thanked God I was wearing my helmet, my first thought was, oh shit I better not have broken anything… Breeder’s Cup is just a few days away!!!

Of course my dog didn’t even notice I fell. She was off chasing a squirrel I think.

Lassie she is not.

So now I’m headed home to drown my sorrows and my aching shoulder in carbs and sauerkraut and a delicious Reuben sandwich.

By the way, this is about two weeks after I “Gave up” red meat. Obviously I have no self control.
