3 things

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

This is not a meme.  Its just a small piece of philosophy that I’ve had for a long time.  I’m sure I’ve told it to people I know, so here it is in written form.
There are lots of things in your life that are important to keep you healthy and happy.  Some you can control [...]

1:42 am

Why the heck am I up at 1:42 AM?
Because I’m a flmaing idiot.
Egads.
Go to bed, stupid.

The $20 haircut

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Tonight I went to get my haircut again. I have abandoned Big League Cuts, despite their sassy stylists and back massages. When they couldn’t cut my hair straight, even after being told to make certain it was straight because they cut it crooked the last time, I decided it was time to say [...]

old man running

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Inspired by your comments (particularly about bald, fat guys being sexy), I went running tonight. Three miles, nothing spectacular. It was a grueling job. And my lungs burned from the cold, which is kinda new for me especially at these temperatures. I’m sure tomorrow I will be punished appropriately.
Mark put a [...]

insult to injury

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Oh yes, it can get worse.
I saw the confirming evidence today.
Double mirror technique.
The birth of a bald spot.
Get my Geritol and cane.
Take me to the Bingo hall.
Sell my truck and get me a Lincoln Town Car
Cancel my subscription to Men’s Health and get me the AARP magazine.
Get me the 2008 Comb-over Guide
I am officially old.  [...]

they’re watching me

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Quickly.
I went to pull in the driveway tonight (my wife was out) and a minivan was parked right in front of the house. Lights on, car running, driver in the front seat. They were very far from the neighbors’ houses and driveways and the people across the street are on vacation so it [...]

Ode to an anchovy

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Oh little anchovy
in the Moroccan sea,
please come to America
and have some pizza with me.
You can bring your cousins
and all the neighbors too,
because I’m having pizza for lunch
and I’d like to have it with you.
I have a place for you to sit
right here upon this slice,
because when I’m having pizza
an anchovy makes it nice.
I will ne’er [...]

Lord of the flies

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I had a quick 3 miles last night.  Not intentionally quick.
I started out easy.  It was incredibly muggy and hot, and this horse fly kept buzzing me.  You know, doing that thing where they circle your head and occasionally try to land.   I tried to squash him when he landed but he got away every [...]

The Omen

Friday, June 1st, 2007

I had 5 and 7 again last weekend.
On Saturday I saw 13 rabbits.
On Sunday I saw 19 rabbits.
I think this means something.
Oh, and I missed my speed workout Wednesday.  Damn.
The 5K is tomorrow morning and I feel more inadequate than I have for any race. I don’t think this is going to be the least [...]

4:30 AM

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Right on schedule, my back woke me up exactly 6 hours after I went to bed.  Six hours.  That’s all I’m allowed.
