Clean Up Time

#1 and I were discussing my blog notes recently, a rich vein of comic genius and a bird’s eye view into the musings of a public intellectual.  I decided to do a thorough review of them to mine a few nuggets to use in this post.  I came up with diddly, so I’m just going to mention that I’m sad about the JLo / ARod break up announcement but am comforted by the fact that Elizabeth Hurley's abs are more toned than ever in her latest bikini pic.

I have a swim time today, as I do most days, but I’m a little concerned about my activity level, so I may need to tone it down some, per the NYT article below.  As I’ve told my personable trainer, my biceps are too damn big. Unc has seen him a few times so I’m going to visit Unc tomorrow to stretch out that lanky SOB.  It’s the type of thing I do for friends. By the way, he and I will be meeting up with The Wolv this October down in NOLA.  We’re going to extend that trip to Muscle Shoals and a few other TBD locations. I’ll jet from there up to my hometown for the wedding of The Banker’s son.  My kids will be there, so I’ll be able to show them all the hot spots, including the legendary hoops court where I developed my skilz. I was able to slam dunk on that basket on the left, as it was about six inches short back in the 70s.  I’d like to point out that I have slam dunked on a regulation basket a few times, but only on an indoor court when I was well warmed up and managed to get a better than average spring in my step.  I did it once in college during pre-game drills with my intramural basketball team, The Cincinnati Kids.  A teammate said, “I didn’t know you could do that”.  I said, “Neither did I”.

Did I ever mention that my wife is bilingual?  The issue is that I am the only one that understands her second language.  She added to the grocery list this morning.  She wrote “cusco” but I knew she wanted quinoa. I was only hoping she did not want me to go to Cuzco to get it.  She also needed some “crips” apples. My thought was that perhaps The Crips were going into legitimate business, i.e. produce, in their quest for dominance over The Bloods, but then realized she wanted crisp apples for a dessert she was making.
