Februaries have never felt this way for me. For the first February ever, I am kind of lost. Up is not up. Down is not down. And if there's a middle, I sure as hell can't find it.

All I know is that my entire world is out of kilter. Everything seems to be in slow motion. And this is a time when things should be moving at a blazing speed, and I should be happy. My son and his wife just last week gave to me my fourth grandchild. I have work. I haven't been evicted from a place in months. And my favorite college basketball team is poised for another run at a championship. And here I sit in my new February funk. This up-down-slow motion stuff is the pits, man.

I have been kind of tired lately. Working long hours, driving too much, a quick and tiring trip to meet my new grandson in Mooresville, North Carolina, a place where moonshine and carburetors mean more to folks than pure water and clean lungs. It was a grueling drive. And sometimes lately, I just get tired, run out of gas, hit the wall.

I am drinking quite a few of those 5-Hour Energy Drinks these days. That helps me do my work, but it also really jacks me up to the point that I feel like I'm going in circles. It speeds me up some, but if I ease off just a bit, I get bumped back into the slow lane and out of my groove. And suddenly my whole world goes spinning again.

I didn't participate in Valentine's Day this year. But that's not unusual for me. Still, it came and went, and a week has passed since all that red and pink love stuff. And usually something good happens for me within seven days of Cupid's holiday. Not this year. And so the funk continues.

Something's missing. That week after Valentine's event that has been coming so regularly all these years didn't show this year.  And I hate it. This colossal void in my life is freaking me out - causing this funk.  And I don't know what to do about it.  What can I do about it?

How the hell can I make NASCAR run the Daytona 500 in MID-FEBRUARY like they used to?
