Hi Everyone:
Ran another 5K, and it was a competitive one (competing with some of the best runners around the city, state, from Ohio, etc. There was a very close estimate of about 990 participants in this run & walk. I came in 63rd overall and finished 4th out of 50 in my age division. My time was 18 minutes & 1 second. I was hoping to break 18 minutes, but that's cool. That time is a personal best for me in any 5K; I beat my old best by 19 seconds. Next week, I'l probably be doing two runs. A 10K in the morning, plus I might attend the distance gala in the evening.
Roo: Andrew, best to ya on the Joe App. 2.0.
Michelle: Sorry to hear about the pain you're having. Hope it gets better. Prayers to ya.
Skippygirl: Good luck to Spain, but I'm going with The Netherlands because Spain defeated Germany and my last name is from the German. Glad Germany won the consolation round and finished 3rd over Uruguay. By the way, I'm using your motivation for running and it's paying off in some races. Thanks Skippy! :-) \m/
Peace Lily: Thanks again for your advice on what I should do next week with my family get together and the invitation run I received. I think I'm planning on doing both runs because some of the family will plan on coming to watch. Speaking of family, how's your family doing?
Hope everyone is doing well. One of my really close friends has his birthday coming up this Wednesday, which means his birthday is one day before Joe's birthday. How cool is that!? He's getting me into some Dream Theater and John Petrucci and I get him into Joe, Chickenfoot, and the G3s. He also plays 7-string guitar & bass for a band he's in. I've seen him and the band perform a few times & they're quite good. Now I need to find a nice birthday gift for him; I already got a card. He'll be 27 and I know Joe will be turning 54 on Thursday. How cool is it that my friend is half the age of Joe this year!?
Joe, hope you have a good week & birthday. Best to you, and keep up the excellent work.
Time to get some work/cleaning done, plus training for a competition later this afternoon. I'm in the waiter/waitress competition on Monday for our hotel/restaurant. First time doing it and I'm a little nervous. Take everyone/peeps. \m/

Wooley, Thanks. I thought you might have posted this lmao! PG is always enjoyable :-) Now I feel compelled to listen to CH. lol!
Skippy, awful is a very fitting word for this week. I really just want to bite into a sandwich. If I can't squish it flat enough to get it between my teeth, I can't eat it. Today might be a milkshake day. lol! Can't find a better excuse to have one really.
I must say, Cheez-Its are now and have always been my very bestest friend.
Glitz, thanks!

Michelle--Dentists were always important as I remember growing up......but they are so human and me mom and dad had to find just the right one because I recall one guy was so abrasive to his assistants and cold toward patients that I remember getting up from the chair and leaving the office, I was so disgusted! And I was only 10 years old. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better and can get back to eating normally AND teasing me with the gender bending goofy stuff! LOL!
Blue_Moon thanks for the Carl Sagan vid. The universe is so beautiful and underappreciated. Maybe I would be less depressed if I made a habit of viewing the night sky from the nearby hills.
Ahhhh.....Sunday......Have a great Sunday everyone....including you Austin!

Although I have been playing and practicing a ton these past 5 years, trying to get a band together seems almost impossible since I have a day job. I record and play against virtual drummers....but really want to capture the vibe of playing live and loud. Being in my early 40's, I don't hang out at clubs that much anymore and I don't have time for the BS. Although people tell me that I am good guitar player, I am far from it...and always have way more to learn - How would you recommend I explore playing with other musicians? Ad in a local music mag? Craigslist?

OMG I dont believe it. I've had my drums for three days and the bass is already broken. Its a good thing I got the 2 year extended warranty because I am gonna need every day of it if it breaks every few days.

Check out this first model for Royal Underground. She looks like she could kick my daddy's ass! lol! She rocks that outfit too. Lots of cool jackets in that line for guys and girls.
Back to work tomorrow. I'm dreading it since my job is pretty physical. Just for shits and giggles I measured the opening between my teeth. I can only open my mouth a 1/2 inch. I'm reeeeally trying to be hopeful for Tuesday, but I have the feeling they're gonna make me wait longer. Gotta call them tomorrow and see what's up. The saga continues.

Does Joe have any podcasts up and running yet?
God is Crying could be about all of those things.
Anyone catch Jimmy Buffett's concert on Count TV last night? Always down with the Buffett!!

Tikimon - Ya, that was a cool show. There is nothing like some Buffett!! It is a shame that the stars are not out in force raising money for the victims down there. It seems like perhaps many do not realize how serious the devestation is because buildings haven't crumbled or flooded.
Michelle - 642!!!???? Ouch!! Is that after insurance? At least the pain will be gone.
