A Passion for Running

Saturday morning Aaron and I hooked up for our regularly scheduled swim. It’s kinda nice now that we are not going to do the triathlon because I was able to just swim without the pressure of training. I can see how people can love the sport. It’s very…soothing to be one with the water. I know, I know – that is so cheezy.

Anyway, the really big part of Saturday involved Aaron’s upcoming nuptuals. Saturday was his bachelor party. We drank tequila, ate some tequila worms, smoked some crack, hired five strippers, sacrified a lamb and wound up in jail somewhere on the seedier side of town with no memory of how we got there.

Okay, okay, this is what we really did…

We started the morning by going go-carting! Man, that was so bleepin’ fun it ain’t funny! It was the first time I had done the go-cart thing and I definitely want to go back for more. WAHOO!!! Of course, with it being Aaron’s day, we (Tom, myself and Don – Aaron’s dad-in-law-to-be) let him win.

About twenty of Aaron’s friends and family showed up for the actual bachelor party which took place in Tom’s back yard and deck and where we drank beer, ate lots of steak and potatoes, smoked cigars and bored everyone to tears with talk of the pose method. It’s amazing how you can become even more passionate about something with a few beer in you. I almost even did a barefoot pose running demonstration in the pitch black darkness. Hmmm…I wonder how that would have turned out? Everything lasted till about 2:00 a.m.

We had loads of fun and, with it being Aaron’s day, we let him win every argument. It was hard but what can I say, we love the guy.

Soooo, no pictures of the strippers? No cool crack stories to tell? Bummer.

Are ya gonna torture him on his wedding day? Paint “Help Me” on the bottom of his shoes so that when he’s kneeling in church, everyone sees it? No? Chicken.

Hee hee … after reading “Okay, okay, this is what we really did,” I half-expected to see the line, “For his bachelor party, we went on a 3-mile POSE run, barefoot! It was AWESOME!” Go-carting sounds like a great time.
