Too Much Excitement 


Not me up there.  Not ever again I suppose.  Sigh; the dream is dead.  Thursday— went late to the treadmill.  Working my way up after years of indolence, was scheduled for 6/10 mile run. Turned on the view screen, and lo! the second half of the 2002 NCAA BB  tourney game.  MD-U Conn battle for Final Four berth.   Way exciting.  Lonnie Baxter, Juan Dixon, Eric Hayes— Oh Yeah. I knew who won, but hate U Conn  and wanted to watch them lose again.  They did,  but JFC,  I had by then run 2.5 miles.  Heart beat into 170s, and sopping wet. No muscle machines this day, maybe never.  Went home and slept 4 hours.  JFC. Knees still ache.  Last night I watched the Terps play Marist whilst reclined in the Lounge-O-Matic with beer and  pretzels, the way god wants it. Feeling good here boss.

Exercise is not for the elderly, Rodge. Don't be fooled by the propaganda. As far as I'm concerned, unless there's a dead animal (or portion thereof) or a pint of ale at the end of a walk, I just go all Bartleby, and prefer not to.

If you need to elevate your heartrate, just think of the ass pounding they're going to get when they get to the B1G.

Lord - I haven't heard anyone reference "The Screviner" by Melville in over 30 years. This wouldn't be the Kim from Plano, would it?
