1. Don't talk yourself out of it. You're a winner! Your knees don't hurt today! Go for it!
2. Listen to the Yonder Mountain String Band. You *might* dance as you run. You'll definitely smile a little and not remember the now-numbing pain in your knees.
3. Finish strong. Pump those arms. Keep the positive thoughts flowing. Strut a little when you finish the sprint.
4. Hey! Look! Lightning! But you're already finished your run and doing your half-mile cooldown walk. Lightning? Uh-oh. Best gets-a-steppin', son. Sprint that last half-mile home! Forget the downpour, thunder and, oh cool! More lightning! And maybe pray a little and tell God you were only kidding when you briefly wondered what it would feel like to be struck down by his wrath!

YAY! A loophole!
Seriously. A belt loophole. Seems the great Yes/No Diet of Summer 2007 is *so* working.
And now back to the superstitions one has when picking out one's uniform numbers...
It started innocently enough. The old man's old man asked him what number he'd like to wear for the *over 30* league he is now in.
"Six, or 13 or 26," OMS said. But 6 is (our) number. Always 6."
So last night we pick up our brand-new fancy-dancy jersey, and the guy hands us #41. We panicked. #41? We wore this during the fat kid JV basketball years. This will not do the trick.
What about 6?
There isn't one.
Anything else?
Thankfully, the only number left was 10. We quickly switched. 10 is what we wore from 1983-1985 when we were quite the nimble third/first baseman for the Bruins in the Newtown Little League.
Whew. Don't mess with an *over 30* ballplayer and his number. Next thing, they'll tell us to walk *on* the foul line when we take the field.
Not gonna happen. Always with the hopping over the line, and don't tell us we can't swing the bat twice before we dig in to hit, and don't tell us we can't point our bat like Jim Thome and take the first pitch. Always with the taking the first pitch.
So random thoughts this morning in the hidden track comments section because at 7, well, we had nothing to say...
1. Like clockwork: we miss time at work, legitimately and signed off on by the boss, and the *next* day, always the *next* day, colleague 1 has to "be in late" for something, and said boss is sick and out. It's the height of passive aggressive behavior, and aside from yelling JESUS EFFING CHRIST when we saw the email on the blackberry, we're OK.
2. One of the reasons? Play Pet Sounds whenever you are feeling a tad off and disconnected. That album applies to anything.
3. We maybe watched 9 hours of the Man vs. Wild on the Discovery over the weekend. Always with the water, this guy, but we love him and his brittle Turtle shell ways.
4. We're hitting over .500 in the Sunday softball league, which is still 200 points behind the league leader. Um. It's. Soft. Ball. Here. Comes. The. Pitch. Now hit the effing thing and run like the dickens. It ain't rocket science.
5. Speaking of running like the dickens, take the Clucosamine Chondrite if you have slate on slate pain in the knees. One week later, and Old Man Snap feels like Jack Joyner Kersie, without the pretty nails.
6. We played You'll Think of Me, Behind These Hazel Eyes, So Lonely and You are My Sunshine yesterday afternoon, sober. Nothing cures loneliness like getting right to the root of the problem and punching it in its face.
7. The Rooney Sees Red summer tour 2007 won't be taking the boys to Medford in July afterall, but they are working on another show in Garwood that same month. Stay tuned, and good heavens, listen to the music on the myspace and comment about it's industry-changing greatness!
8. Huh. Coffee must've kicked in.
And one more... from the We Love You, Kelly! department: We're sad that Ms. Clarkson will not be touring this summer afterall.
But, from the AP so it must be true: Clarkson's tour was expected to kick off with her performance at the Live Earth concert July 7 at East Rutherford, New Jersey, and end in Phoenix. Now, Clarkson's only performance is slated to be at the Live Earth concert, part of a global series of performances to raise awareness about environmental issues.
YAY! See you on the 7th, KC!
