Away

I will be in Charlotte at the Wachovia Championship for the rest of the week. If you haven't heard, two time defending champ Tiger Woods will miss this year's tourney. He says knee surgery, I say he just a-heard me comin!

No news is good news

So CNN.com has this feature on their page now where you can order a t-shirt with a headline emblazoned across the front. I'm not really sure what exactly the catch is, because most shirts will look like this. Then I think it's totally tasteless and depraved, because you could end up with a shirt like this. If these links don't work, just click on the t-shirt icon from their main page. Who orders these? I mean besides Anderson Cooper.

I watched "I Am Legend" this weekend, partly because I've been wanting to see it and partly because a friend of mine is in the movie. I thought it was pretty well done, they did a good job of keeping the story moving and not over explaining any of the details. There's a great scene in the beginning where Will Smith is driving a Ford Mustang at top speed throughout Times Square, whipping in and out of construction scaffolding, staircases, and abandoned cars. It made me load up some San Andreas and fly around San Fiero in a Banshee. I just had more pedestrians to deal with.



Also this weekend I had the fortunate privledge of attending three celebrations for an 80th birthday. It was a rib-roastin, pants-off rockin time. No joke.

I haven't done much lately, but I did start going to a gym. What a bizarre place. I met with a trainer the first night, and he wanted to know what type of goal I had for myself. I really didn't know what to tell him. I just want to go and get myself into some type of shape so I don't end up like those people at Wal-Mart that push around shopping carts with oxygen tanks in the baby seat. I basically don't want a baby oxygen tank. That would be a weird trip to see Santa Claus at the mall. But anyway, I told him that I wanted to shed about 15 pounds and get into a regular cardio routine so I can start playing basketball again. Seems pretty easy to me. He was completely puzzled, like I was the most stupifying case of a fitness goal that ever set foot through those gym doors. He told me I probably wouldn't lose any weight by lifting, and he never once advised of any type of cardio exercises that I should work into a regular practice. Thanks, Gilad.

With the help of an equal fan, I cooked a big batch of mussels this weekend. 5 pounds to be exact, and they were f'n tasty. It seemed daunting at first, but we put most of them down. Just the perfect lead-in for some high school throwback entertainment.
