Santa's got a WHAT?!

Today, I ran for 5 km in my city's annual 'Jingle Bell Run smiley - holly' 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. smiley - footprints 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 smiley - holly', of course Santa Claus smiley - santa 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. smiley - laugh 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 smiley - smiley

A Brush with Fame!

WooHoo! My brother and I actually snuck backstage and got Doc Severinsen's autograph on all 3 of his vinyl albums that I have. smiley - bigeyes 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! smiley - biggrin

Cheers! smiley - musicalnote

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! smiley - yikes While I was fearful initially, things turned out rather well. smiley - biggrin 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. smiley - diva This is neat!

Cheers! smiley - ok
