Santa's got a WHAT?!
Posted Dec 8, 2002
Today, I ran for 5 km in my city's annual 'Jingle Bell Run ' to raise money for arthritis research, and what an adventure it was. I managed to run for 2 1/2 km of it, and I powerwalked the other 2 1/2 km. That said, I made it through the race in 37 minutes (I'm not sure if that's good or bad--I'm just an amateur runner), but I was shocked that my dad managed to keep up with me through the whole race. He only crossed the finish line 5 seconds after me! Poor old geezer-- he headed straight for the medicine cabinet for pain killers when he got home!
I have to say though, the best part of the race was just before it began as we were all getting ready at the starting line. Being a 'Jingle Bell Run ', of course Santa Claus was there, and he was standing next to a man with a megaphone as the race began. The guy with the megaphone was trying to tell us that we'd be signaled with a gunshot that the race had begun, but it didn't come out right... he ended up loudly announcing 'Santa's got a gun!' through his megaphone. The whole crowd was cracking up, saying 'Santa's got a GUN?!' It sounded like a bank robbery or something! I half expected him to continue by saying 'As you pass Santa at the starting line, give him ALL your money and no one gets hurt!'
All in all a fun time

A Brush with Fame!
Posted Nov 14, 2002
WooHoo! My brother and I actually snuck backstage and got Doc Severinsen's autograph on all 3 of his vinyl albums that I have. Furthermore, we both shook his hand, and my brother complimented him on his shoes, and I told him it was a great show... and a great show it was! For a 75-year-old man, he was really cookin' on stage with his big band!
Cheers!

You might look like Larry, Moe, or Curly if a Stranger Cuts Your Hair . . .

I just got back from a free haircut by a total stranger! While I was fearful initially, things turned out rather well. Not exactly what I'd expected though. . . after cutting for a *considerable* length of time, she styled my naturally curly locks in a matter of seconds, and now my hair is HuGe! I'm sure I'll be able to calm it down for tomorrow, but for now, it's a good thing I'm a fan of the '80's. This is neat!
Cheers!

Poor poor neglected entry #1. *sigh*
Oh well, at least being on the most neglected list means additional front page exposure
Cheers!
