Zumba Toning and I'm a Conqueror of Worlds!

I convinced Rita to come with me to a Zumba class. I was unaware it was a Zumba toning class. My ass is beat, yet also weirdly invigorated. I can bounce up and down still, even if my quads are screaming for a shot of vodka and a joint.

I'm going again. I could get used to being addicted to this weird high feeling I've got right now. Yes, I sweated, but not much... I think this is a real possibility that I may be, (GASP) glowing... what do you think?



I like how my eyes are almost like hers...


Hmmm, maybe I can make this more authentic...


That settles it... I am a descendant of Alexander the Great or one of his generals....


Amazing the things you do and think of when you're high off of exercised induced endorphins.

It felt so good, it could've been me doing it.

Ever since the Barcelona games in 1992, I've had a fairly low opinion of the Olympics. It started with the inclusion of NBA players on the US Olympic basketball team, "The Dream Team". I disagree with the shift from a pure amateur athletic competition to one where it seems if you don't have sponsors or do your chosen sport 8 hours a day, you don't get in. At least, that's how it appears to me.

But that's not going to stop me from helping my kid have a memory.


And because it seems like no one believes us when we tell them about the weekend night dressing up... here's this one...



But the fact that I got to watch this event with everyone else is indescribable. Truly. I know I will never carry a torch, just like all you men out there will never play for the Yankees/Mets/Cubs/ManU. I got to carry it vicariously, along with everyone else there that day, through this young man...

Here's a video of him on the other side of Durham from where we were...




And here he is running by me...                                    ....and away from me.

It was a great feel. I hope Kiddo remembers it.

Why I'm not posting anything about the Queen's Jubilee...or some more inadvertent awesomeness

Because what you are about to see is infinitely interesting compared to an analysis of the flotilla. I did watch the whole pomp and pageantry of the day the Royal Family went to St Paul's for the service and ohmygoodness wasn't the Archbishop of Canterbury a prig?




So this happened...



I have video of this lovely event, but after two days of waiting for it to upload, I declare myself defeated.

C'est la vie.

If you have me in your Google+ circles, you can view the video there.

Here's to random events of frivolity!



Not-so-super-ninja-edit, Sunday 11:03 pm... got it to upload to YouTube. Wheeeeeeh!

Meadow at Dusk



Good stuff, huh? If you look closely enough, you can see Venus in transit across the Sun.
