And It's Been Another Month...

Some of my loyal readers have reminded me of a responsibility (updating my blog) that I have been neglecting. And to them, I only offer my humblest apology and promise to do better and update my blog more often.

With that said, let me get down to "bidness."

RACQUETBALL

My friends, there is a new terror in racquetball... and it is I. My brother-in-law made the mistake of introducing me to the game. Now, I'm a hard-hitting, eye-blasting machine capable of inflicting nasty bruises on my opponents. Just ask my cousin!

In all seriousness, it is a lot of fun and a great workout. Each time I play (roughly 1+ hour), I am dripping with sweat and my heart is racing. Also, I can feel that I am working out parts of my body that are under utilized in an elliptical machine or treadmill. Next step, purchase a new racquet.

SOFTBALL

The summer season is starting soon. My wrist has had time to heal. After a 2 hour practice on Sunday, it has held up and has not given me any issues besides some tenderness. All in all, it is looking up.

Also, I purchased a pair of Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ's. They're silver with the fire iridium lenses.

I plan to get clear prescription transition lenses made so that I can use them for softball (day or night) and for racquetball (in case someone goes for MY eyes).

BOWLING (CBC)

We're now 13-11. Plummeting after a good start. My bowling has been mediocre... not helped by the fact that I came down with a cold on the day we're to bowl.

This week, after popping a loratadine, I raced to Classic to try and "right the ship." Unfortunately, the medicine didn't kick in fast enough as I suffered a 115 game. By the second game, however, it was working full force as I finished with a 189 and a 192. Still, we only managed one victory as our opponents, headed by the "other" CBC couple, Cameron and Jamie, bowled superbly to take us down.

FREE WEEKEND?

The Bush Baby is heading out to Palm Springs on July 24-26 for her cousin's bachelorette party/weekend. That means I will have the whole house to myself. I wonder... should I throw a poker party, a deuces party, or a MJ party?

T-SHIRT IDEA?

Occasionally, I get e-mails from Snorg Tees. They produce catchy and funny t-shirts. Being an avid gym-rat, I have an idea that may or may not have gotten used yet. The title of my t-shirt would be, "NAUGHTY-LUST MACHINE" (a play on "Nautilus Machine.") The artwork would be a robot, kind of like a Terminator, dressed in S&M garb. What do you think?

CRUISING TO MEXICO "IN MY '64"
"jockin the bitches, slappin the hoes" - Eazy E

I don't know if it is the swine flu or the economy, or maybe both, but our cost of our 7-day Mexico cruise went down from $700 to $500.

Looking forward to it. The last and first cruise I went to was in December 2006 to Hawaii. I had a great time with the Bush Baby's family and Da Cheeze's family. At a ton of food, but found time to relax.

I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
