Evil Was good

I'm going to be writing on a subject that I haven't touched on in a while, spin class. Mondays class with Evil was really great. It was really a good workout and the music was really, as usual, right on the money. the music was peppered with lots of 80's music, which is my favorite decade for music. Moving right along the regular gang was in attendance, Mary, Dede, Heidi, Dolly, your pal and Wendy.

The class was all so filled with interlopers, but the one that I am going to be concentrating on is a short women, almost in the midget category. This women, who is very nice by the way, keeps yelling out during the ride, about how everyone's shoulders are moving. Now I know that you should be working the lower half of your body during the ride, but it is just imposable to keep your shoulders perfectly still. There was a time after this women started complaining, that I injected Novocain in my shoulders before the ride too keep them still. It worked ,my shoulders did not move, but the downside was that I could not keep a grip on the handle bars and kept smashing my face on the bars. I lost several teeth but it was worth it to kept her quite for one ride.

I would also like to pass along this bit of information. With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Watch out Willie,

Kristi and I are about the same height. I might just appear a little taller in your mind because of my whip. Anyway just so you know... us midgets/dwarfs prefer to be referred to as "vertically challenged" these days.

Later,

Amy

Hey Willie,

I miss a few days on the blog and all hell breaks loose....First of all before I accept the title Josh has bestowed on you I need to try one of your classes....I was all set to go for this Saturday and of course you have announced you will not be able to attend..is the pressure getting too great for you???

Also...please no more comments about the vertically challenged lady cus you know it isn't the fact that she corrects form but it is the sound of her voice in the morning like chalk on a blackboard which is really the problem and you know she can't help that either...poor woman is vocally challenged as well.

And Josh I am ready for tomorrow...I did not work out today..resting my legs from Amy's Monday class in preparation for the onslaught....And Willie after your comment about the resistance lever the other day you can be sure that I will be WATCHING YOU.....
