Bob-o the swim coach....

Last night I filmed Bjoern's stoke and gave him some technique advice: the short of it is, I don't think I'll be beating him by the healthy margin I did last year. I did notice one thing as I filmed, he suffers the same stroke malady that plagued me for years: sliding the elbow through the water. Now luckily this is an easy fix, just do the one and a half cycle drill, or better put making your arm look like it's going into freeze frame mode right before it enters the water. His technique is improving and he is definitely in better shape than he was last year, So I'm confident sub-30 min half iron swims are in his future.

On the workout end of things I did 600 yards in the pool waiting for Bjoern , I did the whole analysis thing then threw on my running stuff and got a nice 4 miler in. ( I know the pool yardage was crap but I don't normally like to swim on Tuesday...I like to do the whole Mon. Wed. Fri. and occasional Sunday thing, plus I need more time running and on the bike...but rather than stand around looking like a tool I decided to do a few laps. ) The 4 miler was done in New Britain, at night, alone.... hopefully the CCSU T-shirt stood as a symbol of carries less than $5 after dark. I any case I stuck close to campus on the well-lit side walks, it was a good little two looper, some minor hill work, unfortunately not a lot of female posterior chain to gaze upon at 10:00PM.
So in essence that was Yesterday.

Upon reading the comments on my last post:

Why do people equate my crushing on Mystery girl with desire to have kids? Seriously I'm cool with not having kids for a while...besides I don't think I have the patience to rear children, I mean seriously In 50 years I don't want one of my brats sitting in therapy saying " It's all dad's fault that I'm a drug using punk rocker, because ,damn it, he was just too hard on me. " In either case I think my cycling escapades have rendered my childbearing capacities useless. Also Claire are you harboring a secret desire to be a godparent?

Angry : my Grandfather used that line on an Australian nurse once, I believe it ended with a slap accross the face.

Well that's all the crap I can post for now, unless anyone wants me to go on a rant about a lecture I saw on campus Yesterday on the Arab- Israeli conflict...let's just say this despite the lecturer's beliefs to the contrary a unified Israeli- Arab State is a "utopian idea at best."

What? That line works for me all the time.

"Make babies" is just a polite way of saying "fuck her brains out". There don't actually have to BE any babies made in the process. But then again, you're Catholic, so never mind...

And no, I don't want any godchildren for goodness' sake! The last thing I need is little mini-bob-os on my Christmas list! I'm sure they would all be asking Santa for expensive bike parts under the Christmas tree.

ya, the first part of what claire said. Ok, call her up and sing the following:

'Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night

Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask

I'll make love to you, like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight, Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you when you want me to
And I will not let go til you tell me to

Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night

Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I'll do

I'll make love to you, like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight, Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you when you want me to
And I will not let go til you tell me to

Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life

I'll make love to you, like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight, Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you when you want me to
And I will not let go til you tell me to'

You will have her itching for you by the second verse...instant seduction. Works every time without fail.

Claire: remember how I said there were two reasons I would become a priest, the first being the no honey, the second being my rather disobdient political views, a huge Catholic Family is not in my game plan....and I will use the necessary precautions.......even if Pope Paul VI said they were well "sinful."

Angry: I'd love to swoon her and get her all hot and heavy but were seprated by two flights at least a 3 hour layover, customs, and me some how figuring out how to drive on the other side of the road, along with the whole kilometer per liter petrol efficiency thing on the rental car.
