Wii Workout - Day 1
Wii is the coolest video game system I've played in long time. At least since the ColecoVision I discovered on a sleepover at Tommy Tenyson's in 1982. That baseball was sweet.Anyhow, this Wii Resorts game I got for Christmas is very nice. So, I've decided to see if I can use it to get back in shape. Games like the 3 point shootout, ping pong, and cycling can really get the heart rate up.
I started out tonight with 15 minutes of basketball. My heart rate spiked at about 170, so not bad. It's pretty sad how winded I got. Hopefully, the thought of playing a game will help me get up and get moving in the morning and jump start my workouts.
I've gotten so lazy in the past two years. After nearly getting back down to my college weight of 185 (hit 186.2), I've packed on a pound a month for the past 21 months.
Let's see how long it takes me to work it off.

Palin Never had Mr. Dale
When I was in the 9th grade, Mr. Clark Dale taught freshmen science. He wasn't much of a teacher. Calling the role took about 15 minutes each day.
He wrote the same notes on the overhead projector, assigned the same homework, and gave the same tests to his 2nd and 4th period classes. Lunch was after 3rd period. Over tater tots one day, some friends shared the answers to a pop quiz. I wrote them down on my hand.
Mr. Dale had a eye for young girls, so when Kim Seagers got busted and ratted on me. I got a zero. He said he was gonna call my parents, but never did.
I thought about that today when I read about Sarah Palin getting caught with "several words scribbled seventh-grade-style on her left palm" while rallying the other ignorant rednecks who now call themselves the Tea Party.

About Modern Family
This show might be the next great American sitcom. If they can keep delivering this kind of dialogue.
Daughter: Dad, what's Jagermeister?
Dad: Um, well - you know how in a fairy tale, there's always a potion that makes the princess fall asleep and all the guys start kissing her. It's like that except you don't wake up in a castle, you wake up in a frat house with a bad reputation.
Modern Family - "Moon Landing"
But, perhaps my favorite scene is from episode one.
