High Water Mark
20.53 miles on the Cybex today says that the old body might be getting there. Willing to pay the price, to look at pain and spit right back at it.
~
OK, maybe that's a little bit over the top, but I was pretty happy with my workout. A new high water mark in this march to the October Marine Corps Marathon.

Feeling the Excitement
Are you as psyched as I am about the new HBO Mini Series entitled "John Adams" starring Paul Giamatti as Adams and Laura Linney as his wife Abigail?
~
No????
~
Well Screw You. It's gonna be the Balls.

Unbelieveable
Another cold and rainy Saturday. Kill me.
~
I went down to River Head Beach landing and the driving wind and rain made it uncomfortable to hang around the harbor.
~
If it wasn't for taxes, I wouldn't have anything fun to do this weekend.

Maine Coast
Another ride up the coast of Maine today to further the cause and glory of Nanepashemet Telecom. Maine is nice, but it's freaking big! Lots of miles between here and there.
~
The Maine coast is spectacular, and I really like the period homes in places like Damariscotta, Wiscasset and Thomaston.
~
The original Colonial Saltboxes, Federalists, Greek Revivals, and Victorians abound and they make the modern Capes, Ranches and Split Levels pale in comparison. There are some real diamonds in the rough. Too bad they are so freaking far away.
~
And there are a lot of "Men from Maine" style properties - complete with rusted autos in the front yard, Tyvek for siding and piles of shit everywhere.
~
You want to steer clear of those.
~
My dream home would be a modest and comfortable, period home, with extensions to a large oversized barn. The house would have to have a water view as well as access by pier or beach to the ocean. Joanne would want a pool in the back yard, and I'd probably have to fit that in.
~
Naturally, a range of beautiful cedar strip pulling and sailing boats would be built and launched right from the premises.
~
Which means I'll have to hump a little harder to get some returns from Nanepashemet Telecom soon.

Revisionist History
Man... What a freaking day!!!
~
I just found out from a good friend of mine how facts can be twisted and revised to meet the self interest of the pretenders.
~
Something that could have been great was too threatening to those whose best output is mediocrity and deception. They had to sabotage it, then lie about it.
~
Don't see how people can live that way.

Anticipation
Tomorrow is Thursday, Peep of the Week Day.
~
Don't rush it.

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.
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.

Glad to see the vitriolics is strong in you. Them Choctaws seen it in the likes of Me and Shoo Fly as well, steer clear of us knowdin whats was good for em. Paid cash on the barrel for theys hooch. threw in a squaw now and agin.
My kith had much to do with the revolution, scrounging scrap and playing both sides of the blockade, shifty-like. So I am going to be spectatin tonite, cable courtesy of a splice off the line from the ethnics across the way. Shoo Fly, for all the voltage they run through him at the nut house, is fire resistant to electrification of all sorts. Handy.
Dont tread on TL.
