Why is everyone who bikes nowadays wearing these metrosexual matching skin tight outfits.
Is the wind savings really worth looking like that for a few hours.. (not that there is anything wrong with that). I am biking a little and I really am quite certain that if you wrap my back in spandex it is still going to make a pretty good windbrake..
Twins Finally get the stadium
I am just relieved that it is over.. Yeah I know they didn't get the perfect location and they didn't get the "roof" but who cares about the roof. If they could just put "Detroilet's" ballpark or Jacobs field here I will be ecstatic(short lived it if the Twins don't spend some money next year).. I really can't ramble on this anymore... (At least not today)
I have been given a few requests for items to ramble on about if you have any suggestions please feel free to post a comment..
I am going to post on the NBA playoffs over lunch... I can't go very far my hamstring but as usual I will find oh way to sustain my pristine shape..

Big Dumb and Stupid
I constantly amaze myself.. Every time I think I can't get any dumber I top myself. I was having a great day at my parents playing catch with my kids and I was just thinking even though I am shade over 250 I feel good physically. (I still don't look good) We where all sitting around watching "Boof" pitch a pretty good game when my nephew showed up..
Well after we went for a ride in his old MG that he is fixing up.. ( By the way I am not sure the Brits have thighs.. I thought about asking my Mom for some butter to get my thighs underneath the steering wheel..) So after the ride we where talking about what he was doing and he mentioned he was playing Hockey a couple days of week in the summer. Well due to my disgust with my Nephew for playing a sport that I can't stand .. I made some remark about watching playoff hockey on the WE channel or HGTV or whatever worthless channel the hockey playoffs where on. Anyway I challenged him to a 40yd dash in the front yard.. Man am I a dumbass..
To start he is exacltly half my weight and 20 yrs younger than me.. But apparently as my weight and age get bigger my IQ gets smaller and smaller. So I threw on some shoes and raced him.. (no stretching for me being a highly conditioned athlete and all) The ground was wet and I was tearing up the turf as I lost the first sprint..(I looked like Barbaro in more ways than I knew at the time)Well I figured it had to be the turf or something other than me losing 5 steps.. So I gave my body everything it had..(not much).
As I crossed the finish line(the last tree before the drainage field) I felt a weird ripping noise in my Right hamstring it hurt so bad that I sort of tried to stop quickly which caused me to flip over my head and land in the drainage area. So as I looked up covered in mud and wretching in pain I saw my sons looking at me with dissapointment. I tried to not cry even though my leg felt it had beeen severed.. It dawned on me I am old.. Ouch that hurt worse than the leg.. It looks like I screwed up my summer by trying to be something that I am not, An ATHLETE.
I am going to post a couple of times today.. I am really sore and bitter today..
