Chip time: 01:38:56I didn't mean to imply that I beat her by ONE second. Our clock times were exactly the same, as it should be. I think that her foot crossed the starting mat one second after mine ... like, I had my right foot forward, and she had her right foot back ... in the computer's mind, it took her one second longer.
As I suspected ... except it was the FINISH mat.

My summer reading list is filling up: http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/peacefulwarrior/ My sensei started me reading his material, as a first step towards self-actualization. I have "The Warrior Athlete" which was re-released as "The Inner Athlete." Once you get past your own "he's a gymnast, what does this have to do with me" preconceptions, it IS enlightening. I think I need to re-read.

No wonder I kept thinking about my post-race beer. Good thing your shirt didn't say "harina de avena" on it.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/drawingrestraint9/trailer/Books: Michael D Coe "The Maya". I believe that he also wrote a book on chocolate that I want to read. That book that MM suggested and that I have actually bought, but can't remember the title of. T C Boyle "Riven Rock" Laura Esquivel “Malinche” Hillary Carlip “Queen of the Oddballs: And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan” And last, but certainly not least Maureen Corrigan “Leave me alone, I’m reading”

There many Spanish phrases I'm glad weren't on there: http://www.notam02.no/~hcholm/altlang/ht/Spanish.html <<<Oh, yeah ... not entirely work-safe>>> [This message has been edited by randymar (edited May-18-2006).]

I chose the Hazed & Infused, on two criteria. First, was, of course, the echoing of Jimi, Secondly was that I was in a blue-green tie-dye mood vs. a red-orange tie-dye.
This is a bit delayed, but I must say that I love a guy that will chose a beer to match his attire - nicely done there R.

Wow!!! What a great idea. You are inspired(-ing). Wheat beer to me is a summer beer; a post-lawn, post-garden, post-chore, pre-grill, 75° or above Lawnmover beer. I would probably be enjoying one in my olive or camo' cargo shorts, a faded T-shirt or tank top, requisite baseball hat and lawnmover sneakers (in this case, three-summers-old laceless Asics, which were once blue and white; but now are an earthy combination of greys, greens, yellows and browns; with a few black flecks of oil and grease from my other garage endeavours). Note: I just spied a Long Trail Blackberry Wheat at the store last night. In spite of my trashing of blueberries the other day, blackberry is an inviting change from the usual raspberry that nearly always accompanies the wheat.

On a summer evening, I suppose.

Excellant - an exception to my "can't drink a wheat beer in wool" rule.
It appears that over the next five days I will be lounging around at home reading and relaxing as opposed to going elsewhere. Accompanying me is my mixed Magic Hat case. It may be my fuzzy head, but I think that the mystery beer #374 is different than the previous one )that was a porter). It seems lighter, but then again I may be an unreliable source right now.

Magic Hat Batch 374All I can find out (at this point) is that it's an Amber Ale. Do amber ales go better with pajamas, a bathrobe or fuzzy bunny slippers???

Bunny slippers! Now that's a new approach to the Tortoise and the Hare. I think that there are #9s, Circus Boys and something else in there. Have a fun w-e. I will rest up.

My aunt makes an awesome Strawbery Rhubarb pie. I may have had some before heading down the hill in VT. Strawberry Rhubarb pie - although delicious - is actually a falsehood, since the rhubarb and the berries are not ripe at the same time.

Man, I could tell rhubarb stories the likes of which would horrify most youngsters well into their Grand Theft Auto years. Pulling the fully-ripened rhubarb from the ground, just so, while grandad watches, pipe clenched between his perfect false-choppers (which he'd occasionally pull out and chase me and my sister around with); heading off toward the woods at the end of Mount Pleasant Drive to find the blackberries for grandma's blackberry and apple pie whilst simultaneously keeping an eye out for brownies, trolls, and other magical woodland folk my parents assured me where there; being on "custard duty" once I was tall enough to stand over the stove and watch for boilovers, whilst Grandma lovingly produces the finished, steaming pie from the oven...Switch 10 years later to me sweating my knuts off cooking enchiladas and "death by jalapeno" burgers in a dirty, oily, 150 degree kitchen in San Antonio, Texas with a large, hairy biker called Steve listed in the phone book as "No Body". It's a funny old life, innit.

Is this the time-travel story or the "art is stupid" story?

"Can't drink a wheat beer in wool"You know, the book randy's compiling is a magnificent tome for all of us nerds, but it seems like there's a wealth of stuff like that ^^^ that could be gleaned, organized and turned into something marketable...

You have no idea, my friend ... no idea ...Sitting in their corner, LT and Randy turn to each other, wink, giggle and - gently touching their heads together - scribble some thoughts into a small notebook they share. Sharing a satisfied, yet slightly mischevious smile, they pat a bewildered Mike on the shoulder in a gesture of thanks, as they step outside, pints in hand.
