Blah blah Blah. Blah?

I just had a flu shot at work.  I know that it is a great thing to get a free flu shot, but I am uneasy. I’ve never had one before.  What if my arm swells up and I can’t move it? 
I fully expect there to be other damage to my arm tonight when I wrestle [...]

No respiration required

When I started training for triathlon I took a swim class with both JC and JS.  JC is more of a runner/biker and he is also a more creative coach.  Js has improved his coaching and I am really enjoying the swim class that I’m doing now that he is coaching.  I think that they [...]

Don’t touch that bag!

On Sunday on our return into Newark Airport (motto should be “Newark: we make JFK look good”) we had a long wait for our luggage because they “forgot” to unload it.  Right.  Anyway, during the 40 minutes we waited at the baggage carousel, we saw many people come and go.  There was a couple between [...]

Walnuts and raisins

Today I feel human and not like a sleep deprived maniac.  I was noticing yesterday on the bus that when I am tired, every expression of someone else’s satisfaction feels like an affront.  I spend my time hoping that the smiling woman’s big front teeth would drop to the floor.  I want to tell the [...]

I’m back from South Carolina.  The days in SC were pretty quiet–we arrived there on Thursday, on Friday I ran, walked and had a quick shopping trip and on Saturday we went out to dinner.  Then on Sunday we got back in the car to return to the land of Democrats and Jews, as my [...]

Off to the South

Tomorrow morning my mother and I will be flying down to Aik3n SC to see my mother’s brother.  Actually, we are flying to C0lumbia, SC and my uncle will go get us.  My mother HATES the south.  She doesn’t like that my uncle lives in a gated community, that you can’t walk anywhere, that everyone [...]

High road

I just confronted the bride, my co-worker, about something that happened at her wedding:
 
I recognize that this is in some respects “my fault” for giving my opinion.  I had told her in Nov or Dec that it seemed early for her then BF to move in with her after only 5/6 months (bad move on my [...]

Drugs, baby

Scene: Waiting on line at the local sandwich shop.  Three rowdy business guys are in front of me.
Mr Red:  Isn’t that a nice dog?
Mr Brown:  [snorts]
Mr Bald [looks away]
The owner of the dog comes out.
Mr. Red:  Ma’am, what kind of dog is that?
Ma’am: A highland terrier.
Mr. Red:  He’s cute!
[dog and owner leave]
Mr.  Brown:  Why do [...]

Frannie did

I had an odd experience earlier and I wrote my mom about it:
Dear Mom–Frannie is a perv.  She walked up to me while I was sitting on the sofa and then she stuck her tongue in my mouth!  EWWW!
She writes back:  Dear Bunnie–Glad you didn’t enjoy it.  Love, Mom.

Trouble

I am in trouble with the groom.  At work the other day I heard the bride tell someone that the groom is 5′8″ and since I am 5′9″ and the groom is not just slightly shorter than I, I informed the bride that the groom is in no way 5′8″.  She is 4′11″ and so [...]
