Mini rant about television reporters trying to fill time...

They were interveiwing the 'butler' (it's not what he was called, but that's what he is) of the White House.  They asked him what if the President want something special to eat at night.

His answer was, "we ask him what he wants and we get it for him."

Then he was asked what if the President wanted any kind of magazines to read in the White House.

His answer was, "we ask him what he wants and we get it for him."

Then he asked what if the President want any kind of special items like shaving cream or something.

His answer was (and this time he was starting to look amused), "we aks him what he wants and we get it for him."

 

Why don't they get it?  He's the PRESIDENT!!!  They get him whatever he wants!!!!  How many examples to you need to ask to understand that!!!

It is going pretty well.  Busy with work, training and home stuff.  How about yourself?

 

Sprint_DA - 2009-01-21 7:40 AM So quick training related story from last night: Went to the pool I swim at and it was closed for swim team practice, second pool I go to is closed because their HVAC system is inop in the pool area, so by the time I get to the 3rd YMCA I can use it's like 7pm (I ate a snack at 4ish to be ready to swim at 5:30-6).  I was finishing up my workout (swam a total of 1900yds, wanted to go for 2k) doing cool-down laps, breaststroke instead of freestyle.  Had inteded to do 200yds for cool-down, but right after I turned around at 75yds both of my quads and my right hamstring spasmed all at once.  I was very happy I was in the shallow end of the pool where I could just stand up.

an adventure...

I realized It's much harder to do my swim workouts in the moring.  I can get a lane anytime during the day, except then, I realized.  There we so many old ladies just hanging out in the lanes yapping it up and doing a little bounce around thing....  Aggrevating.  All of them could easily been in one lane and still have PLENTY of room if they spread out.  But it was two per lane, at one end of the pool, yapping it up.

mr2tony - 2009-01-21 7:40 AM If it were me, I would've thrown in a `trip-up' question like a cop. What do you do if he wants something special to eat at night? What do you do if he wants certain magazines to read? What do you do if he wants a 13-year-old Thai boy? What do you do if he wants any kind of special items like shaving cream or something?

aidana - 2009-01-21 7:44 AM HA! well, that is good to know that all your...er....parts are porportionate! But don't you think 200lbs is low for your height? Just sayn'....I'm sure you wife doesn't want to pounce on skin and bones?!.....

That sucks.  I tried the whole swimming in the morning thing.  I had trouble getting out of bed.

mr2tony - 2009-01-21 7:48 AM Next time the old ladies are in the pool like that keep swimming into them until they move. If they yell at you just dive back in and take off the other way, then swim into them again. Eventually they'll get out of the way.

mr2tony - 2009-01-21 8:03 AM How's T doing? She still ask about me in the middle of pizza?

Aikidoman - 2009-01-21 8:06 AM Speaking of.  I was not in the mood for pizza last night, but she forced it out of me...

I splash a lot when I get to that end of the pool and make a huge splash doing my flip turn.  Just to annoy them.  Passive aggressive and all that...
