Ponderings 2

You can thank my sister Cami for these ponderings (pared down list from what she sent out).

1. Can you cry under water?
2. How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
3. Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
4. Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
5. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
6. What disease did cured ham actually have?
7. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
8. Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
9. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
10. Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
11. Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
12. If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
13. If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
14. If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
15. Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
16. Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
17. Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
18. Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Thanks Cami, now how am I supposed to concentrate on the golf course this afternoon? :-)

Ow!!!!!

I went skiing yesterday with my friends Barb and Mary. Barb, as most of you are aware, is the president of the Lockheed Martin Ski club and likes to ski hard and bumps and black runs. However she decided to slow down for Mary and me yesterday. We lost Mary 2 runs in after lunch as Barb and I headed off to explore a part of the mountain that Mary has bad memories of. We did some steep blues, groomed and not and then a couple of black runs as well, one of which I completed on my back-side with my skis in hand. I was beat by then, but alas, I did not want to give up, so we hit a couple more runs. The one that did me in completely was the steep blue run that looked like a bunch of buried VW bugs spaced randomly through the run, but not very far apart. Let me put it this way, I have NEVER skied bumps before and my legs were nearing the jello stage, I was not happy with my results. So, I took the bailout off the side of the run and got to the bottom without collapsing, but only barely. Today, I am paying the price, my legs hurt and are weak, along with my back and ankles. I try not to complain, as I did it to myself and I had a great time doing it, but it's not going to be fun this weekend having to mow the lawn for the first time this season with legs like they are right now.

Wasted....

I can't even think straight this afternoon. I had the "pleasure" of getting called into work this morning at 12:48am and not getting out of there until around 11:30. The good news is that we made some GREAT progress, the bad news is that I am so wasted. I tried to nap when I got home, slept about an hour, intermittently, watching Master's hi-lites from last year and other calming golf stuff. Looking forward to this years' Masters this week as well.

Hope this blog finds you all in better shape than I am today. I'll get some sleep tonight and be fine I'm sure.
