�Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead�

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Some evil person brought donuts in to work this morning. Of course, I ate one.

I�ve also had three bananas today. Can a person OD on potassium? Of course, if I�m gonna OD on vitamins and/or minerals, it�s gonna be Vitamin C. My beloved Naked Juice makes this one called �Power C� that has 1000% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C per serving and there are two servings per 16 oz bottle. Well, I drink a whole bottle at a time, of course. And I love that juice, so when I have it for breakfast I am getting 2000% of my daily recommended Vitamin C! I think I should cut down on that particular juice�

Luckily, I don�t drink that particular juice every day. Also luckily, Naked Juice has many varieties which I love ever so much, so I have plenty to choose from.

And wasn�t all of that just vastly entertaining?

I went on my first training walk yesterday evening. It was fun and the people in the group are all are nice, but I would have had more fun if Barbara were with me. There were about nine of us, and one doggie. :) We walked 5 miles. I was tired afterward and was starving. I hurried home and immediately made chicken fajitas and was so hungry that I burned my mouth up trying to eat them too fast!

Man, I hate it when that happens.

And I�m telling ya�as I sit here writing this, I am already tasting the chicken fajita leftovers I have in my fridge at home�

I thought I was going to be sore, but I�m not (so far). It wasn�t the distance that caused me to think this, as 5 miles isn�t a big deal to me at all. It was the speed at which we walked. You have to understand that at only 5�2�, I have very short legs. They don�t walk very fast, as a rule. Last night, we walked faster than I am used to, especially at first. At first my shins were killing me (I have a problem with my shins when I walk too fast; I get shin splints very easily). Luckily, after like � mile we stopped so someone could use the bathroom and I stretched out a little more. We also slowed down to my usual pace after that anyway, so I was fine. We didn�t all stay together � a couple people zoomed off way ahead of us � but for the most part we were all pretty much walking at the same pace.

And ya know what? I don�t really have much else to say. I am really feeling bad for my brother Larry and his wife Peg today, because their kids are thankless little shits, but I don�t really feel like writing about that right now. Perhaps tomorrow. Perhaps never.
