It started out like any other day. I made my way to the Y for the Saturday spin, and little did I know that in over an hour I, your Pal, would be the new spin god. As I walked into the workout room I could sense something was just not right. Everyone seem a little on edge. that's when Heidi came rushing up to me yelling something. She was so excited I could not understand her. I told her to calm down, you know the way that I work my magic, and tell me what's all the hubbub about. She told me that there was no instructor for the class, and that things got mixed up and we would not have anybody to run the class. That's when your pal stepped up to the plate. "Don't you all fret, I'll run the class so everyone calm down and let get started." I quickly reached into my bag and pulled out some music. I got everybody set. But before I started I did have to help one of the riders set up. You do have to take some time for the little people. Heidi was some what of a help with this person when she finally did calmed down.
I was a little nervous at first but after a minute of so it just became so natural to me, like this is what I had been put on this earth to do. The warm up was flawless with everyone hanging on every word. After the warm up the the most perfect workout started. As I was yelling instruction to my class , they all were in this trance like state, because I had captured something wonderful and they were all just into this special ride that I was taking them on. We were all one, for that hour. When I said spin they spin, when I said run they ran, and when I let them rest , well the rested. They were hanging on every command . It was like I was the conductor of spin and they where the orchestra following my baton of spin instructions. At the end, the whole class was just totally worn out. But not that exhausted, not to come up to me, and tell me that I am their spin god. I brushed it off and told them, "Anyone of you could do it ,you just have to believe in yourself." After everyone had left the workout room, and I was alone, I had time to reflex on what had just happened. And I think it was just a perfect moment of Zen. It was like a perfect game in baseball, it just doesn't come along every day.

Spin Class and the Slug
All is well with the world now, spin class is back. After not doing the class for about a week and a half, it was good to get back in the saddle. Instead of spin class for the last week I have been kept busy hanging on the refrigerator door for exercises. Well any who, the class was run buy our new rookie instructor, Rebbecca, not of Sunny Brook Farm, who did a find job. The only fault I could find was that her voices is at a level that when she talks, to me, hearing challenged that I am ,it sounds like she is talking another language. But I made it using my skills as a lip reader.
Dede,Wendy,Dolly and Mary were in attendance. Mary was away for about two weeks. She and her family go to a island in the Caribbean to chill out. She is so relaxed and tan now its unnerving. She brought me a beautiful shell back, which I placed on the dresser in my bedroom. Last night I got up about 2 AM to use the facilities when I noticed that the shell was missing. I look around for a while and then went back to bed. As I awoke this morning I find this giant snail stuck to my throat. Well I tell you I was taken back a tad. I finally riped the thing off and checked my neck and found that the giant slug was sucking the blood from me like a vampire slug. And to make things worst, our bedroom was covered in this silvery slime trail all over the walls and celling. We disposed of the slug and my wife and I had a good laugh. A vampire slug get outta town. Oh, and thanks Mary, love the gift.

Fox Morning Morons
Is there a more moronic group in the morning than the 3 morons on Fox and Friends? I don't think so. This morning in a moment of weakness I flipped over to Morons and Friends knowing this was a dangerous move for my heart. The morons were in the middle of a interview with ,Mr Excitement, John McCain. They were all talking about President Obama speech last night, when moron number one, the x weather man, started to say " How is the president going to save and cut the budget". " Yea we got him there, what's he going to do". Well if you listen to the speech moron instead of sticking your finger up your nose so far that you can feel your brain you might have the answer:
Our recovery plan will invest in electronic health records and new technology that will reduce errors, bring down costs, ensure privacy, and save lives.
It includes an historic commitment to comprehensive health care reform – a down-payment on the principle that we must have quality, affordable health care for every American. It’s a commitment that’s paid for in part by efficiencies in our system that are long overdue.
My administration has also begun to go line by line through the federal budget in order to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs. As you can imagine, this is a process that will take some time. But we’re starting with the biggest lines. We have already identified two trillion dollars in savings over the next decade.
We’ll eliminate the no-bid contracts that have wasted billions in Iraq, and reform our defense budget so that we’re not paying for Cold War-era weapons systems we don’t use.
I could go on and on, but I know the Willie's World readers probably zoned out after the first 5 sentences. I know that if I listen for more than 3 minutes to Fox and Friends, I will lose more brain cells then I ever did during the 60's.

Let's Al Put Our Hands Together Again and Again
I just finished watching President Obama clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap speech. And the one thing clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap that made me crazy clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap was that everyone claps for ever other phrase clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap. It was a very inspiring clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap speech. So that in it self clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap caused a lot of clapping. The last time President Bush gave a speech in front of congress the only time they all clapped was when he got a word right clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap.

Snooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. And since we've no place to go.Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Ah yes, let it snow and snow and snow. Well this seems to be a repeat of last winter. I am once again living in a snow walled homestead. I am burning more gas in the snow blower than I am using in my car. Do you know what you call fifty penguins in the Arctic? Lost! Check your penguin habitat. My snow shovel is down to a nub and I want spring to come NOW! I know I have gone on and on before about the snow but tough crap its my blog. Oh well there is not much I can do about it. I will just have to wait till June when all the snow will have melted. One of the good things about this last snow was that it covered every thing.
It turned the landscape and mostly everything black or white. I think it was beautiful.

I See Dead People
Kids got spooked at the Bangor Library Friday. The Bangor Ghost Hunters talked to a group of children and parents. They talked about the presents of ghost and spirits. This group of ghost hunters showed the children some of the equipment that they use too feel the presents of the ghost that are all around us. They showed them electromagnetic field meters and night vision cameras. They also have 2 physic's in this group as well.
At one point there was a question and answer session. One child asked where these ghost are located. One of the group told him that they are hiding in the your room in the closet or most likely under the bed. When one small girl asked if they ever hurt people, one of the women said they might bite you on the back of your neck if you don't eat all of your vegetables. After the demonstration the group of children were all loaded on to waiting buses for a short trip to a physicatrist.

Michele Bachmann Nutter Than a Fruit Cake
Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann who last year on Hardball with Chris Mathews ,sounded sort of like a crazy women. On the show she claimed that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She called for the newspapers to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America." She also seemed to imply that liberalism was anti-Americanism.
Recently she appeared on a radio talk show to discuss what was going on in politics. These are some of the crazy things she said: The list was compiled by Steve Benen for the Washington Monthly.
ACORN is "under federal indictment for voter fraud," but the stimulus bill nevertheless gives ACORN "$5 billion." (In reality, ACORN is not under federal indictment and isn't mentioned in the stimulus bill at all.)
Many members of Congress have "a real aversion to capitalism."
The stimulus bill includes a measure to create a "rationing board" for health care, and after the bill becomes law, "your doctor will no longer be able to make your healthcare decisions with you."
The recovery package is part of a Democratic conspiracy to "direct" funding away from Republican districts, so Democratic districts can "suck up" all federal funds. Bachmann doesn't think this will work because, as she put it, "We're running out of rich people in this country."
The "Community-Organizer-in-Chief" is also orchestrating a conspiracy involving the Census Bureau, which the president will use to redraw congressional lines to keep Democrats in power for up to "40 years." When the host said he was confused, noting that congressional district lines are drawn at the state level, Bachmann said Obama's non-existent plan is an "anti-constitutional move."
Most of these points are from the lunatic fringe on the right, your Rush Limbaughs, Sean Hannity's, Laura Ingram's and Michael Savages of the world. She seems to spout any crazy rumor that some crazy person puts out. How the good people of Minnesota could vote for this lunatic is beyond me. And keep listening to the the people on the fringe of the conservitive movement, because this will keep the Democrates in the office for years. And you know what that is OK with me. We have had 8 years of crazyness and thats enough.
The sounds of a crazy person.

Oh You Have a Blog
Last night was one of nights that I play tennis. This is something that I look forward to all week. I love playing tennis and playing with this group of people. The group consist of many levels of play , and that's keep it very interesting for me. Plus all of the players are very nice people as well.
There was a new player added a couple of weeks ago, a good player and nice guy. Last night as we were walking out , I was talking with this fellow, when he asked me what I do. I said that I was retired and that I spend my days playing tennis, reading, and going to the YMCA for exercise. And then I opened my big mouth and said I also write a blog . He then asked what I write about. I said mostly my life and politics. Then I asked what he did. He told me he writes a news letter on fiance that he sends out to about 700 clients. Then said "Give me your email address and I will send you the letter." And then said to me "Send me your blog address." That's when the panic set in. You send me a news letter on fiance and I'll send you a blog about mutant giraffes, porkey pig saying son of a bitch, humming, Pinky Lee and a chart that categorize your stools. I think when he heard politics he probably was thinking Huffington Post type blog and not the way a twelve year old looks at the world. Oh well that's life and I know there will be a time I will ask him to pull my finger and he will know for sure from were I come.

A Lottery Loser
I just checked my lottery tickets. The Powerball numbers are 2-8-9-33-45....17 , my numbers are 14-25-30-49-59-....26. Wow, if I only had 6 different numbers I could have won something. This is what its like when I check my lottery numbers twice a week. I buy two Powerballs and two Megabucks tickets a week. I would say that with the tickets I buy weekly I will have mostly none of the picketed numbers, maybe 99% of the time. And don't get me wrong I have won some cash with the biggest payoff being 55.00. Let see, I have been playing lottery tickets for about 30 years and with all of my winnings, if I won a million dollars I would break even. And I don't have to win 100 million dollars to change my life just $500.000 that's all I need. So let's all get down on our knees and pray with me. "Oh great and wise Jebus please let your pal win just one lottery prize and you know what I will do. I'll give a brand new nickle to every one of my very close relatives and friends if they can find me. Amen and thanks a lot. "

the Never Ending Dinner
Last Saturday night my wife and I invited good friends of ours over for a Valentines Day/wife's birthday dinner. It all started at 7 PM with a couple of drinks followed by presents being opened. After the presents opening we all sat down for dinner. Which consisted of pork chops stuffed with prosciutto and fontana cheese, scalloped potato's with steamed asparagus with lemon and brown butter. Followed by a scrumpdelicious carrot cake with cream cheese icing. And would you believe the whole meal with desert was only 100 calories. And if you believe that I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn. Well moving right along. After dinner we solved the" is there really a God" thing. And then moved on to how we all hated high school, except for a person I will call Dot. The only bad time she had in high school was when she dropped her pom pom during a pep rally, oh the horror of it all. Well, right from that discussion we all decided to play cards. The next time I looked up at the clock it was 245 AM. We kicked out our guess and cleaned up and sat down and looked at the clock again and it was 315AM. When you come to our house for dinner, expect a long evening of about 8 hours. We don't like to rush.

We Don't Have That
Last night our friends, and my wife and I went out to a very nice restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. My wife and I arrived at the restaurant early and we head for the bar for a little libation. And that is where it started. The bartender asked what we wanted, so I looked over the lists of beer. "I'll have a Andrews Porter." "We don't have any on tap." And so it began. At the table, " Ill have the oyster appetizer." "We are out of that." There was not two or three kinds of wines we all wanted. There were 3 or 4 dinner choices that were not available. What the heck is going on, it was very strange. After a while we all got our picks of dinner and wine and had a very good meal. We then all decided that we would have a desert and we let my wife pick, because it was her birthday. The desert menu was brought to the table for her to look over. Right at the top was crem brulie which my wife loves. "We'll have the crem brulie please." my wife said to the waitress. And she said "We have everything but the crem brulie." That just topped the evening off. One thing they did have was the dam check.

Energy Boy Strikes Again
After Tuesday night with the evil one I was looking for a nice easy ride for Wednesday morning , you know what, I did not get it. When I walked in to the workout room I spotted Josh who would be running the class. Oh boy, after the hard ride on Tuesday I will be in the clutches of a 21 year old with way too much energy. Well old Josh boy did not disappoint me, he kicked everyone ass. As I was sweating like Michael Jackson at a Chucky Cheese , I was wondering what a couple of new riders were thinking. Probably they were thinking "oh my god the guy is trying to kill me." And you know what they would not be to far off. Well anyway your pal and Dede were the only ones of the regulars who were in attendance. The rest were all interlopers.
There has been a rumor a foot that the Y is getting new bikes. Well they had better get going because the old ones are falling apart slowly but surely. As a matter of fact, Josh's ride fell apart in the middle of the class. And when that happen he jumps off this bike and runs out and wheels in another bike while not skipping a beat. This guy has way too much energy. What I think is if we could some how hook Josh up to a tread mill he could probably provide enough energy to light our whole county.

Another Day at Work for Evil
Last nights workout was one of the best. Evil RSG was on her game. She was yelling and screaming at everyone in the room. She was in charge last night that was for sure. And one thing that she made the class aware of was that I ,your pal, was Evils bitch. She kept pointing me out to the class as an example of what she wanted to see them doing. I now have a reputation as either being one of the people to look up to class, which I always thought I was, or a brown noser.Well any who I was proud as punch.
The class was filled with interlopers except for Heidi and your pal. But one interloper stood out among the masses. This person had the worst case of B.O. that has pass through my smell meter in many a year. This stink would have curled the wallpaper off the wall. The smell was kind of like a skunk that had been hit by a car that was lying in the mid summer heat for a couple of days and then run over again. It was rank. I think I had pegged the person as this guy who was riding wearing what we use to call a Italian tee or a wife beaters shirt. Well any who a note to self, park your ride on the other side of the room from this guy. Getting back to the ride it was one of the best with good music as usual, and a hard workout. It just what you expect from the Evil one.

Bald Eagle
AUGUSTA, Maine - With bald eagle populations on the rebound, there's a move afoot to remove the American symbol from Maine's list of endangered and threatened species. Yum yum I can't wait. Just think of the pride you will feel on July 4th when you bring that big steaming bird to the table. It can't get any more patriotic then that. Or what about your first eagle burger or eagle dog. Pass the mustard please. Or even better, how about having a majestic bald eagle in a cage in your living room, how impressive would that be. I tell you what, I can't wait for the day when they remove that silly endangered and threatened list to fire up the old grill. Yummers Eaglelicious.

Towel Off, Drink UP and Fire Up the Defibrillator
Spin class Saturday was a good one. It was run by Josh who thinks that a 64 3/4 year old should either keep up or surpass a 21 year old. All during the workout he is yelling at your pal either to pick it up or blaming me for the hard ride. Josh's rides are very strenuous. I kid a little, but I do like the ride, when it's over that is. I was just wondering if you are suppose to be bleeding from your ears when the ride is over. Just kidding its just the nose. All in all it was a very good ride. Heidi and your pal were the only regulars,or the only real people if you will, in attendance . The rest of the class was overrun with interlopers. But there is one good thing about the interlopers, there are a couple of doctors who take the class. And this is comforting for your pal because when Josh bursts my heart I do have a chance to live.

My Life on the Couch -Part Three-The Liverwurst
And so it is beginning to get better, the flu that is. I am starting to feel a lot better. My nest is a mess spotted with cracker crumbs, bits of rice, and a first edition of the Kama Sutra. So like I was saying I was feeling a lot better. The wife heads out to do a little shopping and I start to move away from the couch. Of course the first place I head is the refrigerator. Now I have not had too much to eat for the last three days, so your pal is looking for a treat. I am hanging on the frige door and gazing deep inside. Do you know what was the only thing that attracted me after three days of dry crackers, Liverwurst that's what. Now I know what you are thinking, no ice cream, no cake products, nope Liverwurst. So I make my a sandwich with spicy mustard of course, and wolf that down in 10 seconds. And do you know what happens next. I don't feel so good anymore, plus I have the worst, or should I say wurst case of heartburn I have ever experienced in my life. Needless to say having a liverwurst sandwich with spicy mustard was not the best choice after the flu. I am a lot better these days and do not miss my time on the couch.
My Life on the Couch -Part Two-The Cocoon
My second day on the couch was even more uneventful than the one on Saturday. New addition to the nest is a snack table. The table held my warm coke and a variety of plane crackers, of which Saltines had been added. Still feeling like carp and all I could do was just lay there. The TV has been my friend since the beginning, although I had gotten into the habit of not watching any program for more than 5 minutes. My theory being there is always a better program on the next channel. But the one thing I did not want to watch was the lead up to the Super Bowl. I just could not handle the whole shtick. Anyway with the Giants not playing so I did not have a dog in the hunt.
One thing that was changing was the couch that I was laying on. I had two blankets, 3 pillows covering a body that one minute was freezing and the next hot as H-E double hockey sticks. The blankets started out very nicely at first but the second day it was a tangle that would take two days to unraveled. The pillows now change about every 2 minutes, going from horizontal too vertical back to horizontal back to vertical. It was just a symphony of movement by a person that is not feeling all that well.
The rest of the day was uneventful. Watched the Super Bowl, and that was good. After, I fell asleep in a tangle of blankets and pillows . Cocoons are a good thing.

My Life on the Couch -Part One-The Begining
My life on the couch started off rather like any other day. Spin class on Saturday morning, nothing out of the ordinary. The class went great, I even broke my own personal record of 166 heart beat rate. So I was running on all cylinders. But as soon as I got home, climbed out of my truck, I started to shiver. And so it began. Into the house and on with the sweatshirt, on with the wool socks, and slip into my Simpson flees PJ bottoms(7 dollars at TJ Maxx). Head for the couch grab the pillow, grab the, blanket and start to build your nest, or command post if you will, which will be your home for the next couple of days.
Now I start to pack myself into my cocoon blanket, like a butterfly larva. I am now starting to warm up. In about 5 minutes, I am hotter than a pot of neck bones. And then five minutes later I am colder than a well digger's ass before global warming. I finally get to sleep for a hour or two, wake up and naturally reach for the TV remote, still feeling like crap. I make the rounds, all 150 channels, get disgusted and stop on HGTV. I now know how to punch up my bathroom with color. Back to sleep.
One hour later my wife is sticking a temperature probe into my ear, and is saying I have a temperature of 300 degrees. I said either call the doctor or flip me over and base me with butter. Turns out she had not read the instructions correctly, I did have a fever but it was not that bad. She put down the phone and dropped the turkey baster.
Most of the rest of the day I just slept and munched on dry crackers and drank warm Coke. Yum, I get hungry now just thinking about that meal. Any who I did not die that night. I forgot to say that I added another pillow and a blanket to my nest. It will be a small city soon.

Sick 2
What's more fun than watching the Superbowl, it's watching the Superbowl while you are sick to your stomach. Yes it is the return of the flu. The bad thing about being sick is , well it's being sick. A couple of the good thing are that you can lie around on the couch and have your wife wait on you. You also can spent days in the same cloths and not feel guilty about it. So there is some up side to being sick. I have to get back to the couch, or as it is now set up like a man nest, and suffer.
