Carb Cancellation
Katelyn is right.
~
Exercise is not enough. You have to eat right.
~
I thought that if I worked out regularly, I could have all the pizza, pasta, and beer that I wanted. And I have been aggressively testing this supposition.
~
But even though I've logged over three hundred miles on the Cybex lately, (17 miles this evening), I haven't significantly lost weight.
~
There are still good effects happening.... I feel wicked better and my knee is completely pain free - I can walk with no problem whatsoever. Even though there is some corresponding weight loss, it is not the bulk that I have to shed to get into shape to start getting into running shape.
~
So the carbs will have to go.
~
That's how dedicated I am to achieving marathon glory in October.

Lacrosse in the Old Days
Lacrosse, the national sport of Canada was invented and played widely by the Native People of North America.
~
(Notice that I didn't call them Indians???? I just love being politcally correct.)
~
The game was ritualized, and it was believed that the outcome was pre-ordained by the Great Spirit. Tribes sometimes played lacrosse to settle disputes, rather than going to war.
~
This time of year always reminds me of the lacrosse games that I would go to throughout New England when
my kids played for St. Michael's College in Burlington, VT.~
I don't ever remember seeing a lacrosse game on a sunny day. Pelting rain and mud was the norm.
Truth or Consequences
Geraldine Farraro is another idiot.
~
She makes racist comments about Obama then thinks that she can vehemently deny on Good Morning America. Geraldine, your words speak for themselves. You said that if Obama was a white man or a woman, he wouldn't be in the political lead today.
~
You should have thought before you said what you really felt.
~
Would it be so bad if what you said was really true? That maybe the Democrats want an articulate and charismatic African American for a change? That a white candidate wouldn't fill this sociological and psychological need? That the things that Obama says might not be followed as closely if he was white because the country wants to heal the deep scars of a country whose founding fathers owned blacks as slaves?
~
That's not a bad thing, Geraldine.... We don't live in a historical vacuum. Best thing to do when the spinners attack you for telling the truth is to shut the F up. Everybody knows what you said is true, and the spinners will never get off it.
~
The Democrats have to choose whether they want to be honest or political. You can't have it both ways.
~
I'm sure that Ferraro isn't truly an idiot. Obviously I spoke before I thought.

For those of us looking for substance and not bluster in our leaders, it is a bad thing that votes are determined by race, either way, over substance.
It goes right to valuing the content of one's character over the color of one's skin of which Dr. King so eloquently spoke.
Fist in the air.
~
Peeps..... just so you know, this is the same Piscatelli dude who was emailing all over cyberspace that we won't be successful in our Marine Corps Marathon challenge.
Obviously he runs to the defense of Ferraro because of the vowel at the end of her name!
The "Free Speech" policy in this country can be so annoying.

Paying the Price
Having sex is not a crime.
~
All over the news today is the story of the Governor of New York buying a high priced prostitute in Washington, D.C. There are all sorts of cries for his resignation.
~
At least he didn't use his office to diddle a twenty year old intern. He didn't use his power to get off on a freebie. He paid big money to a pro who seeks out this lifestyle. There are degrees of betrayal, degrees of stupidity.
~
But, being a stupid asshole is not a crime. And the moralists calling for dismissal are the latent perverts in denial.

Amen I say unto them there words. And throw in a hallelujah. And relations with animals make us one with the chain of creation. No sin there.
I am in a composin' frame of thinkin' and thus my silence is defeanin. But I could not stand idly by and not testify. Hookers gotta eat and be clothed too. "When I was hungerin' you gave me to eat, when I was thirstin you gave me ta draink, now enter into the home of my pahhh-ppy. Whatsover you does, to the least of my people, that you does unto me."
In case you were wonderin, thems is the words of a feller I knows, called JESUS. So lay off the Horny Governor of NY.

Punk Piscatelli
Wojcik called me today, wondering how the training was going. He said he begins in earnest today.
~
Then Piscatelli sent around this blasphemous email saying that it would never happen.
~
There is movement in the firmament.
~
If you ever want to motivate me, tell me I can't do something.
~
I'm not talking about things that are immoral, unethical or illegal.
~
I'm talking about things that other people can do in business or otherwise that seem to pose a challenge.
~
Like running a Marathon in freaking October!!!!
~
Go ahead, Piscatelli.... you Juris Doctoring, Chinese Speaking, South Boston legendary, Street Kid from Taft School, Northern Italian, Certified PMP......
~
Make My Day.
McMahon said....
Hey J.
These buddies of your do realize they are just battling it out for second place right?
No way I'm losing to anyone on that list.
~
You realize Tommy, that to come through on this smack, you're going to have to break three hours? Because that's where Towne will be.
I'll be cheering you on.

Before You Even Ask
Cardinals, Blue Jays, Black Eyed Juncos, Chickadees, Mourning Doves, Sparrows, and a few White Breasted Nuthatches.
~
Plus the Squirrel.
~
So now you don't have to ask your ultra-annoying question about which birds have been visiting the feeder lately.
~
Just let it rest for awhile.
~
And no... not one Tufted Titmouse. You Wise Asses!!!

Gut Check
Robert Towne, the famous senior ultra-distance runner from the State of Washington, (and my former roommate at UMASS, where I had no trouble kicking his ass) has accepted the Marine Corps Marathon challenge.
~
This brings the list to....
Peeps.... This is so pathetic. Where is your sense of self worth??? Where is your self respect???? How can you be such wussies?
~
I would have expected the list to be in the hundreds by now. Katelyn Nestor says she is training for a 1/2 marathon. Unacceptable!!!
~
Courtney and Ryan are non-committal and the Crawford Brothers have not even risen.
~
Where's Steve Lewis, Benny Martin, Nathaniel Clarke, Kelley Clark ? Where's Dave Bruett, Lauren Rathbone, Mike Rockett, Doug Maxfield, Brian Butler, Lindsey Kepnes??? Absolutely no word from POTY, Michael "Murph" Murphy. The depressing list can go on and on.
~
Where are You???? Reading this blog entry and sitting on your sedentary ass.
~
You know who you are......you aspiring Nanepashemet Peep Pretenders.
~
Fine.... Be like that. But when you see us walking around with cool Nanepashemet Peep Marathon T-shirts next fall, you'll have nobody to blame but yourselves.
~
Examine your conscience. There's still plenty of time to do the right thing.
~
This brings the list to....
- J. Nestor
- J. Colllins
- B. Wojcik
- T. McMahon
- B. Brown
- M. Nestor (big maybe)
- R. Towne

Moose Stats
10,000 moose collisions occur each year around the world, resulting in hundreds of human fatalities.
~
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
~
I wonder what the Democrats will do about this.
~
Doug Maxfield said....
Make no mistake...if given the chance they would kill you and everyone you love. I'll look for the picture from my accident and send it too you. You would never think anyone could have survived.
~
That sounds scary Doug, but are you talking about the Moose or the Democrats???

The Tudors
Joanne and I have been watching the Showtime series "The Tudors" about Henry IIX and Anne Boleyn.
~
Very well done, with high regard to historical detail. I wasn't sure of the validity of the short hair on the actors but found out that the period actually persecuted long hair.
~
This series seems to capture the intense political intrigue of the period. When Henry was denied a divorce by the Catholic Church he founded the Episcopalian Church.
~
This was a guy who refused to lose.
Weather or Not
The weather report for this weekend is partially crappy, followed by crappy.
~
I'm so sick of this crap.
~
Need some sunshine badly.
~
Need to get a row out in the Tender on the Harbor.
~
I don't mean to whine, but March always gets on my nerves. Time for some warm. When my trust funds kick in, I'll be leaving for my Carribbean Island each year for the entire month of March.
~
Trouble is, none of my ancestors were considerate enough to leave me a huge inheritance. So until I make a score, I'll be forced to put up with March in New England.
~
BTW, it's Katelyn's birthday today. She's getting older.... so are we.

Peep of the Week - 10
We lost a decent job today. One that we were cultivating for about 4 months. I really thought we had it in the bank. Definitely let my guard down. I have to admit that I truly believe that the customer made a stupid business decision. There is a lot of that going around.
~
Nanepashemet Telecom will carry on. But I'm pretty pissed.
~
It's not that I mind losing.... check that - I hate freaking losing! There is no rational reason that we should have been underbid on that job. I've passed the pissed off at the customer stage and have entered the self loathing phase. Might as well select the POTW's.

J.
So what's the deal? Not even a brief mention of the woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for 2 years for no apparent reason?
You gotta get up to date on the hot topics in the news.
-McMahon
I had one of them squatter types back in the 70's when I was sellin' used cars in Waco that came with a bag of Shoo Fly's homegrown skunk bud. Sceppin' it warn't my crapper she was a settling on. Heh heh heh. Ooooh shucks, I was rollin' 7s back in the day. Gallo wine and the Spinners on the radio. It doesn't get any batter than that.
