One Liners

May 21, 2007

Like they’re goin’ to hell and they gotta be the first one there…

It’s all fun and games until the blue lights come on.

This one’s actually a three-liner:

“I just pray it will all work out.”
“What?”
“Daddy’s Pontiac.”

Did I miss the memo?

May 18, 2007


I’m not sure if it was just because I got out on my walk with Milo much later than usual this morning, or if there is something going on. Is it “Women’s Fitness” day or something? Or is this just what the housewives do at 9:30 in the morning, en masse?

You can’t see it from my crappy pictures (I need a new camera phone), but there was a caravan, and I don’t use that term lightly, a caravan of mom’s with humungo baby strollers storming through the park and blazing the trail today. I guess the leaders got to set the tone, the two women in front started doing lunges behind their strollers, and it was a domino effect. The quarter-mile of women behind them started doing lunges.

It wasn’t just the moms, though. Before they descended on the park, there were a plethora of women hanging out in the park as well. There were so many they were laying in the middle of the trail and doing crunches. Milo was distrurbed, he didn’t know what the hell was going on. He skirted around them as quickly as possible. I for one would have been scared to lay in the middle of the trail on Bike to Work day – those bikers are a bit nutso in the driving department.

I know all of this could have been alleviated by simply asking one of them, “Hey, what’s going on here?” But they were all so intense and focused, I really didn’t want to take them away from their exercising.

Happy Day

May 17, 2007

It’s a sunshiny morning, both outside and inside my head. I have a new job, I’ve given notice at the old one, I have a dog sitter, and dates are getting close to finalized for the honeymoon. It’s like those t-shirts say, Life is Good!
