Somebody mentioned "about 30 years ago"

And I thought, "the 70s"

But they were referring to 1995.

And now I need to go lie down.

We all scoffed when he said he could shoot someone and not lose voters. As it turns out, he is right. If he shot one of them right now, they would apologize for getting in the way of his bullet and then brag to their friends how they got an official Trump bullet souvenir.

While I can still afford it before tariffs make espresso prices go into treat rather than an everyday pleasure, I am starting off today with a Raspberry Mocha Latte to try and bring some joy into my morning. #ProofOfCoffee

I may look as puffy as the Marshmallow Man, and I probably just as slowly, but that didn't take away from my fun at the #HotChocolateRun 15K in Philadelphia. I mean how can you be upset at a run that ends with Chocolate? #MedalMonday

Since the Hot Chocolate 15k is in Philadelphia tomorrow, it just seemed appropriate to pull out the Rocky Gear for this run. #HotChocolateRun #EyeOfTheTiger

Asbury Park Sheehan Classic 5K The Asbury Park Sheehan Classic 5K is on Saturday August 9, 2025. It includes the following events: 5K Run and Kids' Run.

Time to start ramping up the summer racing season. One of the first races I have ever run, and have done every year without fail is the Asbury Park Sheehan Classic 5K. It is in August, it is hot, but it is a great race around Asbury Park.

I would prefer we stay with DST all year long, but until then I will happily push my clock ahead to get the extra daylight hours for the months that I can.

This is not the first time Orange Juice has felt the "squeeze" of the market. Back when Atkins was all the rage, nobody was drinking Orange Juice, and the price of OJ dropped like a rock.

The interesting thing now is, that dealers whine about it instead of dropping prices.

I'd rather do *ANYTHING* before Hill repeats.

But in all fairness, I have to knee replacements, so hills are killers that cause entirely too much knee inflammation, so I sort of have a reason (not that I liked the hill repeats before this).

But they could have just eaten Taco Bell for lunch. (I didn't say the fumes had to be made by the car). πŸ’©πŸ’¨

The White ones *look* fast... and thus will make you run fast. (or at least make it look like you are) So those are what you should go with.

They were telling you that because they didn't want you inhaling the fumes from their car. πŸ˜‰

Run the Vineyards - Cream Ridge Winery 5K The Run the Vineyards - Cream Ridge Winery 5K is on Saturday June 21, 2025.

What is better than running a race? Running a race with a free glass of wine waiting for you at the finish line. And it is a nice jaunt on blacktop around the Vineyard. What better way is there to start off the first day of astronomical summer?

"You Clean Up Nicely" is nothing but a polite way of saying, "What happened? You usually look like a hot mess!"

Two reasons. One, I am old enough that I remember when it was just Gatorade, and only one flavor, and two, their names are stupid, especially when you start into their "sub lines" like Frost, Fierce, and Flow. Their naming conventions are just out of control. It is easier to just use the color.

The President has time to waste serving as the chairman of the Kennedy Center? Well, in this case yes. The Puppet Masters behind Project 2025 are the ones enacting the plans. This is the equivalent of giving your child a coloring book and telling them to go play while you make dinner.

Green Gatorade (I am old and trust the classics), and a soft pretzel.

First race of 2025 and of course they are predicting 3-5 inches of snow and sleet.
