Rick N. Backer Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I went for a run with my son this afternoon. He stayed about 10-20 feet ahead of me the whole time. I kept yelling to him "Don't burn out Icarus!" I decided that when we got about 100 yards away from where we finish, I would kick it into gear and beat him to the finish line, which I did when he and I ran together about a month ago. Today he saw me coming, and stepped it up himself. Stripped of the element of surprise, I simply didn't have the juice to pass him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like when Rocky finally beat Apollo during their beach runs. I hope you guys jumped around in the water and celebrated his victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Driving around today listening to commercial radio (gasp!) and jamming out to La Grange. Then the next song to come on is Tom Sawyer! I pulled into my driveway as the song was fading out.

The Analog Grownup Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Spend the evening with one of my roommates drinking some beer, talking about life and overcoming personal tragedy and adversity then watching old Mad TV videos on Youtube. The day started boring as hell, but ended real cool :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I was driving home from the gym a couple hours ago and witnessed something different. I had noticed on my way to the gym a gentleman sitting on the corner of a busy intersection. He wasn't holding a sign but he was there with his bike and a few items hanging off of it. He looked like Billy Gibbons brother with a ski cap on. When I stopped at the traffic light on my way back, a younger kid (probably mid 20's) got out of his car, went across a couple lanes of traffic and handed the man something green. He dashed back to his car and jumped in just as the light was turning green. At that very instant I felt a little worse about myself and a little better about humankind in general......... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
