“America… have you heard… about a brand-new dance, it’s called The Bird?”

During the work day, I (and usually a coworker or two) take walks around the complex/campus/whatever you’d care to call it. This week, I’ve had a couple of amusing/interesting experiences:
- There are trees along the south end of the path where we walk. Apparently, there are a couple of new nests in some of those trees. Wes and I were… not quite “dive bombed”… more “strafed”… as we walked along the path. The first time it happened, I felt a little like Tippi Hedren in The Birds. And the second and third times, too. I may suggest altering our walking path for the next couple of weeks.
- On Monday afternoon’s walk, I was almost done with my walk when I approached a couple of ladies walking in the same direction, but more slowly, than me. I was a few feet behind one of them when I said,”Excuse me, please, ladies.” One froze, the other… yelped (best word for it). Hell, I froze, too. They hadn’t heard me approaching; I had figured that since I was wearing hard-soled shoes and was on a cement walkway, they had heard my footsteps. No go, Flight. It took the yelping lady a few moments to regain her composure.
Yesterday also included a workout with Wes. It’s the first time I’ve been back to the Gold’s on Van Winkle in close to two years. Nice gym… although a couple of the patrons were ass-monkeys. “It takes all kinds,” I guess. The routine was a little short, but good:
- Recumbent Bike: 0.5 miles, 100 rpm
- Bench Press: 3 sets/10 reps, 185 lbs.
- Flys (machine): 3 sets/10 reps, 100 lbs.
- Curls (standing, hammer): 3 sets/10 reps, 25 lbs.
- Lateral Raises (with forward extension): 3 sets/10 reps, 10 lbs.
- Tricep Extensions (rope): 3 sets/10 reps, 60 lbs.
Last night was lazy. I came home, cooked dinner, sat on the couch and vegged. I also finished off the Superman card I’ve been working on:
I’m pretty happy with it. Once again, finding quotes was a right royal pain, but I wanted to find some from various sources (comics, TV series and movies). I think that the quote I’m most fond of is “Excuse me, sir. Would you care to step outside,” from Superman: The Movie.

A cellphone. *shakes head* - You don’t need no finesse or no personality
You just need two arms and an attitude.
And everybody sing with me, come on now! - I found these images in Derek’s blog. I’m liberating them in the name of the people:

Namaste.
