On interruptions

I came across this excellent quotation from C.S. Lewis.  I do not know where it is from, but simply wanted to repeat it here:

The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s “own”, or “real” life.  The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one’s “real life” is a phantom of one’s own imagination.  This at least is what I see at moments of insight: but it’s hard to remember it all the time.

Far from ordinary

Professional cyclists are far from ordinary.  Their aerobic abilities are astonishing, and for good reason.  But within this pack, you have Lance Armstrong.

Here’s my quote of the Tour Down Under so far.  Lance, at 38, commenting on racing in the peloton for the first time.  That’s right – he’s normally ahead of it.

“I seem to be enjoying it. It’s not something I’ve done before but it’s fun to try.”
