DW, USA, Favre & that filthy elliptical

Why haven’t I written in about two weeks. Well we had Dave’s HUGE BASH of a bachelor party on the 1st – 3rd of August. What a smashing time. Friday night, we had 27 guys over to my parents cottage on Smith Pond in Howard, NY, and everybody had a great time of gambling / fishing / lawn games / and a bonfire storytelling about some pretty nasty stuff. I added in a few good ones, all too nasty to be added here of course.

On Sat we went to the Clark household (Dave’s soon to be in-laws) for a back lawn party with the brides friends as well. Holy hell what a show. Our drummer, Josh, was so slammed; he was making snow angels, yes, in August, YES, in regular grass. And, needless to say, he was not the worst one. On Sunday, we helped clean up the Clarks house a bit. They had pretty much beat everybody to the punch in the morning, which makes sense if you read back a few lines to how bad some people were, and then helped Dave’s fiancé sort through all of the things THEY got for their shower that Dave had to keep questioning where they were going to put everything.

In other news, I am now up to 30 miles on the elliptical and still in route to 100 by October 4th. According to my calculations, that’s 30%. Tonight, I plan on running another four miles before I head to the Pizza Hut buffet. I know it sounds bad, but I’m eating better as well. My cupboards and a drawer at work now have seven different Kashi products. All of which are good for you, and surprisingly tasty. There are a ton of others, but they all kind of look to much like grain. My favs so far are the apple spice breakfast bars, trail mix bars, chocolate chip cookies, cheese it type snacks, and the peanut butter bars.

This is also odd. I haven’t watched the Olympics since 1992 when the men’s B-ball Dream Team pretty much destroyed the rest of the world in every sport there was. Well, I’m hooked this year. I’ve been watching it all. My TV has been stuck on NBC since Sunday night when the men’s relay swimming won gold. Michael Phelps is amazing, and should be with those flippers he has for feet. I swear he looks just like a dolphin when they show an underwater camera shot.

Favre to the Jets??? I don’t even won’t to get into this being an avid Bills fan and a long time Favre lover. Oh well. I’ll say hello to him in Nov. 2nd in Buff.

Take ‘er easy America. RIP Bernie Mac & Shaft.
