This week I ran 14.94 miles, burned 1,914.7 calories and weigh 168.2 pounds.

Went to the Thunderbirds movie. It was fun and stayed pretty true to puppet show. The story focused mostly on Alan Tracey and his quest to become a member of the team. Ben Kingsley did a decent job as The Hood. The opening credits used a really cool animation style. The movie was directed by Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek:TNG. I would like to rent the DVD to check out the bonus features.

Right now, I'm not wearing any underpants.

Thunderbirds Are Go!

Yesterday, I walked 3,784 steps.

I received some sad news about a friend. Still in a bit of disbelief about it. He is survived by his wife and mother and maybe some siblings. Please pray for them.

The weather is back to normal.

Yesterday I walked 3,712 steps and today I walked 4,809.

There was a neat Thunderbirds movie on Plex. The closing credits featured the Royal Marine Band playing the theme music. It was quite cool.

I'm looking forward to the live action movie.

It was so cool last night that I had to sleep under a blanket. We slept with the bedroom window open. There is a large cedar tree right in front of the window. I did not want to get out of my warm bed this morning.

It may be another cool night, tonight.

Is it really July in Texas?

I took 4,480 steps while wearing my stepometer. I had to keep it in my pocket today because my pants have become bigger. The waist of my pants was too loose for the stepometer to detect my steps. These pants used to be a bit tight. I'm glad that my clothes fit much looser. I need to take some new measurements.

I took 3,904 steps while wearing my step-o-meter.

The Altoid that I just had is off-setting the taste of the tap water I am drinking. We are out of bottled water but I am thirsty and do not want to drink more Coke at this hour.

A cool front blew in and it feels a bit like spring. The bedroom window is open and the house is actually cool. Is this really July in Texas?

Daisy is walking much better now. Aleve works great.
Rusty had a wound but it is much better. I think his legs are getting weaker. His appetite is still good and he does not appear to be in pain. I know that he is not going to live forever but I'm trying to avoid thinking about the end too much.

Rented Showtime and Austin Powers: Goldmember. They were a couple of nice lightweight movies. I'm glad we did not pay full price.

William Shatner giving Robert Deniro acting lessons was quite amusing.

Its Showtime!

This week I ran 14.61 miles, burned 1,884.8 calories and weigh 168.8 pounds.
I went to adultadd.com to take the screening test. My results were negative. That is nice to know.

I'm awaiting the premiere of Teen Titans, Justice League Unlimited and Thunderbirds with eager anticipation. I think we will check out the Thunderbirds movie. It is cool that they kept the design of the ships.

My great-great-grandfather was named George Custer Simmons. A milkshake would taste good right now. A tropical vacation would be nice.

I walked 4,708 steps according to the step-o-meter.

Sometimes, I am embarrased about my religious affiliation. Check out uua.org The thing that bothers me is the use of an Abu Gharib image as an advertisng logo. It is a powerful image but a real human being suffered in that image. The cause is noble but using a person's suffering for commercial purposes is distasteful. At least those who use Christ's image for commercial purposes waited until he died and ascended. The man depicted in the logo may not appreciate being reduced to the level of the Nike swoosh or MicroSoft Windows logo. I certainly wouldn't. At least not without permission. I would also prefer to be depicted not suffering and be well compensated like Michael Jordan. It is a stretch to assume that the man in the Abu Gharib image meets the above criteria.

Against the backdrop the the whole war, occupation, scandal and everything my gripe about a logo is rather trivial. But I feel it violates the first UU principle, affirming the inherent dignity and worth of every person, to reduce a human being that has suffered so much to a mere advertising logo. It does not matter how noble the cause advertised.

I sent an e-mail to the the STOP campaign expressing these thoughts.

People do goofy things with great intentions. That is the risk one takes in undertaking a worthy cause.

My 150th post!

I walked 4,529 steps while wearing my step-o-meter. I had a great leg workout. I reached the limits that my quadriceps can handle right now. I managed to do 6 reps at 135 pounds on the leg extension machine but I was unable to complete 12 reps at 105 pounds after that. I also could no complete 12 reps on the 45 degree squat machine at 90 pounds. There is next week.

Marathon training starts on Aug. 15th. I'm looking forward to it. I want to run in the Dallas Marathon on Dec. 12th. I hope to shave 30 minutes off my Houston time.

I wonder if there is an award for most boring blog? If my blog won such an award then that would make my blog interesting. Thus the most boring blog award would go to a different blog but then that would make that blog interesting.

This week I ran 16.66 miles, burned 2202.7 calories and weigh 168.5 pounds.
Yesterday I walked 3,083 steps and today while going out to garage sales I walked 1,688 steps.
For some unknown reason this morning, I was extra bitchy. Everyone got on my nerves. Not a even a killing spree would have helped. The earth's gravity felt unusually strong. Maybe it was all the fat people.
 
I feel better now that I had a nap, a run and about to go to a party.
 
Yeah!

I took 5,166 steps. That is over 2.5 miles. Daisy misses Harley (he is with a friend) and she is limping a bit. Rusty is having trouble with his back leg.
 
The nights have been very cool lately. I think Rusty can sleep outside. It would certainly help with his bathroom problems.
 
I don't feel like posting spam names or Zen Koans.
 
I'm going to edit today's multi-panel cartoon. I think the profanity is too strong.

Today I took 3,265 steps. I also ran nearly 4.50 miles. I had some extra time because of the memorial service. I learned some interesting things about the person being memorialized.

According to my McDonald's Go Active Step-o-meter I took 4,353 steps today (between 7:00 am and 5:30 pm). I did not wear the thing during and after my workout. It is not waterproof. I am no lady, I sweat.

I successfully trimmed Daisy's toenails. She did not fuss too much. I gave her a lot of affection and some good food scraps.

Rusty had a seizure Friday morning. He is okay now but he gave me quite a scare.

The spammers have been very uncreative lately and I've had other things to do.

I drew a simplified version of Willie Nelson for a cartoon. I was really thinking about the lyrics to Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. There is a bit of Dao in that song.

What Willie was saying, in the song, is that cowboys are the embodiment of the unity of opposites. As to why that is a bad thing, I do not know. I suppose society needs doctors and lawyers and such.

Country music and Eastern religion intersect.

The lyrics:
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probly just ride away

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
And them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong he's just different
but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

This week I ran 13.75 miles, burned 1903.1 calories and weigh 169.2 pounds.

I bathed the dogs and washed out their houses. They are a little miffed right now because their bedding is not dry and the houses are in the yard until the porch dries. Maybe they will sleep under the trees or bushes. It is a nice clear evening for a change.

At least the layer of dirt on the dogs will be fresh.

Smoked sausage, yum.
