I must start exercising, so I got on the treadmill tonight for the first time in months? Or has it been years? I honestly can't remember. I was flipping thru the tv, settled on watching Mash, thinking on what I was going to do to get my butt back in that room tomorrow. I ain't easy, you know. It's a chore, and I go out of my way to avoid those. I don't know how I got from Mash to Dark Shadows but I did. I realized each episode is probably only 20 minutes long, just about the right amount of time that I'm willing to give that darned machine, especially if I can alternate speeds and inclines as Jake has taught me to get more bang for my cardio buck.
Hopped off, grabbed collection 1 and turned it on. Oh, the sweet sound of the so familiar music, it was like being in church when the huge pipe organ starts playing and the light shines brilliantly thru the stained glass. I had come home. It felt so good.
Victoria's voice over begins. We see the interior view of the front door. The door opens, Willie Loomis walks in. It begins. Seeing Willie was like welcoming in a long lost friend. One I hadn't seen in twenty years but was as familiar to me as if we had never been apart.
I'm truly going to enjoy this, and the treadmill will hold them all hostage. They can't take me down memory lane unless I walk by their side.
Some thoughts? Why does Willie look greedily at a chained up coffin? Does he really believe treasure is stored in a coffin? Who does that? And Tim Burton if you're listening, Willie Loomis = Christian Slater. Mirror images.
Today's progress: episode 210 (originally aired on 4/17/67).
24 minutes total, 12 min at 3.0 mph and 3.5 incline. Two sets of 2 min at 3.5 mph and 3.5 incline (that particularly sucked) and finished off with 6 min at 3.0 mph and no incline.
