Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED (Page 58)

No shyte, right? I'll post it here for posterity too and because Skrat asked for stories. That's a 1000-word one right there!

I'm totally procrastinating again. Put in a really long tough day full of meetings (good, productive, some were tough, my brother made a guy cry and told him he's lucky it wasn't me talking to him or he'd be black and blue, true) ... then dinner and Yahtzee with Mutti. She trounced me as usual.

Doing a fly-out to Bali early morn tomorrow, whirlwind of errands and document-location around the Funny Farm, and back to Jakarta by evening.

Yanti's dapper dude-dad circa 1958, in New York City.

Really hadn't changed that much over 50 years later. Just for the record, he was definitely the best-looking corpse I've ever seen, and I've seen a few hundred probably.

I also did the ceremonial Muslim washing of the body and preparation for burial. I think in most Muslim cultures, but definitely many Indonesian cultures regardless, it's the family that takes care of their loved one's body.

It was a great honor and such a tender thing to do for my dad. He was also a clean freak so I know he appreciated the thoroughness Also the Muslim cleric who was there supervising--basically just the hospital chaplain, if you will--was a super, super guy.

Trying to plan some tris leading up to AG Nats. First, this IS a good idea, no?

Second, should I just do sprints leading up to it or should I do an Oly or two? I know recovery for a sprint is minimal, I'v never really done a true Oly but I imagine it's not bad. 

My plan is to try and train right through them with no taper and limited recovery time. Since I am slightly pinched for training anyway.

I dunno, but I will soon. Badger me about this. And a plan.

Well, you had better tackle that other mountain of work you've got first.

Asalzwed - 2013-03-27 2:54 AM Oooh Diego Rivera's murals are on display at MoMA. I might have to be a total tourist and get a multi-museum pass so I can get to the Guggenheim, too. Crap I still need a date to the Nets game!

crap.

i just shed a tear--one tear--going through one of my dad's old wallets. He had his Senate ID card, House of Representatives ID card, and his gun permit in there. HAHAHA

I have no idea why that's all really funny to me, but it is. Juxtaposition?

I don't know what Senate or House badges look like in the US, but I think it's really funny--kind of like an official, HI, MY NAME IS tag.

so what about the all night crazy dancing sexcapades this weekend?

Asalzwed - 2013-03-27 2:58 AM

That's for my birthday!

Burfday suits?

This grief thing is currently like a wicked munchie that can't be satisfied.

Howl at the moon if you like.   It occasionally works for me.  Convenient full moon coming up.

Je t'aime.

I howled in here just yesterday

We Ardie siblings do say, "Howl at it, growl at it, bark at it." That solves a lot of problems right off the bat. Even if not, we feel better.

Moi aussi, mon chéri.
