Is That Doc from Love Boat?

I remember having to watch this with my parents way back in the day. They kept asking "where did we go wrong?" "What happened to you?" Some questions can only be answered by a doctor.

Interesting?

NOT!!!

Oddly Hot?

We've come a Long Way

This stadium looks soooo different from the last time I went to a game. I've been to more away games than home games since I graduated, that's sad. I sure hope I can make one this year..in Lubbock.

She's Such a Fan

This just drives me crazy. Notice how she seems so excited, like she's a big fan. Seems to me she would know better if she were a true fan.

Three Day Weekend Thoughts

• Unable to fix the PS3, yes it died again. I took it apart and did the same thing as last time but getting no power. This thing ain't beat me yet.
• I've never known a woman that drinks whiskey. Most will only go to rum or vodka for the "hard stuff". I can see why though, Jack is nasty as well as others.
• I just couldn't bring myself to running over the last week, even indoors. Lack of motivation will be my downfall. Just watch.
• The wall that was constructed at the luge track looks completely natural. Did they leave it out originally because of aesthetics? (spell check got me on that one, missed the first "e")
• I like the cold weather but the wife doesn't. Is that bad?
• She burps too. Not that that has anything to do with the cold. She likes to burp. If you're good at it, why stop?
• Zach's new phone has the slide option showing a full qwerty keyboard. Let's see how that goes. A coworker wants to purchase that style but I'm just not that into it. I text fine with my 2004 flip Motorola.
• You'd think a three day weekend would be cause for more thoughts.
• Have a happy hockey! Looking forward to the tournament.

Why Parents Drink

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.. Then he saw an Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.' With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you..

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not only the passion... Dad she's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love,
Your Son John

PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.

I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card... That's in my center desk drawer....

I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home.

Weekend Musings

• Went to a my 7th grade nephew's basketball game yesterday and it wasn't nearly as bad as the games I refereed several years ago. I think talent overall is 100X better than then. Several of the kids were coordinated and good shooters, even making free throws. Way to go Ross, I enjoyed it.
• I saw two girls this morning at Kroger wearing very short dresses and no panty hose yet sporting coats. Now I've never dressed like that before but they had to have been freezing and if they had on hose, how much would it help in 42 degrees?
• I'm giving away dead batteries later, free of charge.

Dad Joke?

An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.

The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?"

The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?"

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly.

The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"

"No problem," replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my Moped!"

Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH!

Something whips by him going much faster!

"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the doctor asks himself.

He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.

Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped!

Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas
And passes the Moped at 275 mph. He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN!

Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.

Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again!
The Ferrari is flat out, there's nothing he can do!

Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end. The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably the old man is still alive.

He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, "I'm a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man whispers, "Unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror!"

Pretty Neat System

What is the speed limit in Cananda?
Connections are RCA, I've got dozens of those at home.
Who would use that car for an armed robbery? Does not look reliable.

Couple More Tech Pictures

Not a Red Raider?

Maybe you should be. This is a picture taken a few weeks ago on campus, gotta love it.

January Totals

I had hoped to get 20 and 40 for the month but I didn't quite make it. That's 20 miles jogging and 40 miles biking. It was pretty cold this month so I didn't get on the bike as much, only 22 miles. That's a result from 3 bike trips. Ouch, that's go to improve. I don't recall how many times I went jogging but I did log 18.85 miles, almost there.

I hope to participate in a 5K this year so I've got to step it up. I usually jog 2.15 miles each time but occasionally bump it up to 2.5. Seems easier outside than on a treadmill even though you can set an even pace. Yesterday I jogged a mile and then walked for a bit before double timing it for 1/4 mile. I repeated this until I finished my 2.15 miles and it was a little challenging as my back was killing me.

Any tips on getting to the 5K threshold faster would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if changing my running path will be enough to get that extra mile. BTW, that's not me above, not even a body double.
