Great job, Peter, you broke your time by 6 seconds! I think I saw Peter twice...once as 'he; blew by me wearing orange and purple; then another time there was an older man and woman screaming PETER from across the street and 'he' stopped to hug them. They both looked like him from behind and it would be around the time he passed me. I did get to see Lance Armstrong and his entourage--he was going at it pretty good. I was at mile 21-22...the people were smiling and cheering, but there were too many people in the street pushing too close to the runners. I got a few pictures (none of Peter) and I can't download because they exceed the limit and when I resize they are too small to bother. Those runners are AWESOME! They had varying degrees of pain, joy, enthusiasm, fatigue, but they kept going. There seemed to be something about where I was standing that lead a few men to come over and lay on the ground and work out some cramps. I liked that spot alot and I rubbed a few backs and arms. It was great!! I'm totally inspired to do this for my ____th birthday (2 years from now) Rock on, Peter. Peace and BenGay, baby! ~~April Edited for a P.S. THANKS Muenkle..for the post and the call!

I set Muenkel up as my 5k alert guy - I can have up to five, so it's him, mom, dad, a friend from Boston with whom I've trained, and the cell phone of the person organizing my running group's "tylenol table" at mile 22, so she can see where we are. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Should we have seen a post from Muenkel by now? I can't get the 'tracker' on the site to work, but I'm heading out in a few with the number written on my hand (anybody seen this guy??

You aren't supposed to have anything around your child (and in YOUR home) that makes you nervous for a second. Its just not logical. I hope you do stick to your guns on this (better safe than sorry). Not that its a pit, but thats a pretty big dog! ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Dave, As always you're a class act. I haven't forgotten that DD Clint did on me and I wound up talking to EVERYBODY there; but I couldn't make that AOT as planned. I look forward to meeting you and jumping with you (under my own power--its BEEN long enough!!) Cheers~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door— Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as "Nevermore." But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered— Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before— On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before." Then the bird said, "Nevermore." --E.A. Poe ~~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Old Bay has recently added some new flavors! Blacked, Lemon & something, Garlic and Herb in addition to the original recipe. I LOVE the Garlic & Herb and it goes well with other meats. We've been on an impromptu Crab Quest here too. We had blueclaws 3 times in as many weeks. ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Maybe I'm missing something here, but when the story was more character driven, when we knew little about these people except the basics that kept them alive and together, we yearned for more. Now that we're delving deeper into the psyche and motivation of each character, we're losing interest. Familiarity, with these character, breeds contempt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We were shown backstory on the characters in Season 1, elaborated on them in Season 2, and so far we find Jack was obsessed with a cheating wife. Thats just about everybody who thinks they're being cheated on. Not Interesting. Where's Echo and Locke and Hurley? Didn't they send Hurley back with a warning? Or did I just forget? What I did find interesting was where the Others put the Losties: Kate was objectified and made pretty..Jack was put in an aquarium (he WAS a big fish on the other side of the whatever this thing is), and Sawyer ends up in a cage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There's something to be said for the Chris Carter method of story telling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sure is, and its this: tell them the truth is out there, make enough money, hold the carrot just THAT far away from the viewers nose, then leave them with nothing. The X-files got screwed up becaue they ran off telling stories and forgot there was supposed to be a 'truth'. As for Chris Carter, I'm calling him a One Trick Phony: Anything else, Chris? I liked Lost and I thought the story was going some where, not EVERY where. Bleah~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Mullet spotted...9/23/06, 8:45 am. Upper West Side, NYC. Suspect wearing black Lees, some sort of too-tight concert Tshirt and a straight face. Witnesses, however, struggled to maintain one.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Let's bring this up again... I got a call from someone who said I handed Citigroup my resume at a job expo (I'm not interested in finance or marketing) but she said they were opening new offices downtown (why aren't they recruiting 'managers' from within??) and they liked my resume and wanted to meet with me on a SATURDAY. I get to the location and I tell security I'm there to meet with the Citigroup and he asks 'you mean 'PRIMERICA'? (I smell a rat, but I'm there so...) There was a presentation by a few of those people couldn't string a sentence together, much less help anyone get out of debt. And what do I care about someone else's debt if I'm there for a managers position? They had a slide show with lots of figures but no quoted sources. And they mentioned McDonalds...alot. I've been to Tupperware parties before and I know when someone is trying to sell me something and there is it...for $200 they will train you and they want the names of SIX references...Yeah, Right. Then they wouldn't let me leave. My 'interviewer' was busy with someone else and I wanted to go smoke and they wouldn't let me out. A young man who is fresh out of school who "just made $150k in his first year" with them walked me back to my chair saying 'let me tell you my story', with a glazed look in his eye. They speak very softly but they look like someone has a gun pointed at their backs that you can't see. I have 'office manager' on my resume but I didn't do it long enough for Citigroup to seek me out as opposed to promote or transfer from within. I'm really surprised ENRON, I mean, Citigroup is allowing this--I had no indication of the name of the subsidiary until I got there, but I did look on Monster and googled Citigroups sites and checked if they had a sizable requests for managers. Nope. Freakiest 'interview' I've ever had. When my 'recruiter' got to me she asked me ONE question then I went off on her for her misrepresentation. Nothing was asked about where I fit into this program or my background. I feel sorry for the people who stayed. I learned a long time ago NEVER to 'buy' a job. Buy an education. Nobody can ever take it back from you. And yes, I made the 'Kramerica' connection too. Working with Kramer makes more sense.~~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

When someone asks whats a good wine and they don't know brands, I tell them if you see the words 'TABLE WINE" that is not the thing you want. If he said he wanted a Chianti or Merlot, I'd go with the merlots--I find them flavorful. And don't let the seller talk you into anything over $10.99 a bottle if you don't know the difference. Try the Debeouf reds...they are reliable...or Yellowtail, (I'm wild about their Shiraz), you can probably get that in the supermarkets there. Keep it simple, keep it red, and just don't burn the steaks!!! Bon appetite!!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I get freaked out when I'm near cranes. Living in New York City they are hard to avoid. There is nothing on the list about fearing unicorns. I don't like those. They are hideous! Years ago, Ringling Brothers promoted the first and only known unicorn on the planet and they ran the ad EVERYWHERE and on tv ALL the time. Some jackass took a poor little goat and grafted a horn onto the middle of its little goat head and made him stand there looking...well, hideous. ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Later for that! Why are they killing their friend? So he can bump up on the 'heart transplant' list? Are these people crazy? McDreamy is a mope. She should dump him. I used to watch this until they decided they were going up against ER last season..~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
