Updates on me

I am back to writing on this blog. Many things have happened since I last wrote.

1) I did a duathlon by myself. I was seventh in sex-age group (there were only seven of us but whatever). I ran 2 miles, biked 12.4 miles, and then ran 3.1 miles in 1 hour and 40 minutes. My pit crew/street team accompanied me. Jamie, Liz, and Stacy shared the hotel room with me the night before and then I got everyone up around 5:30 AM (I try not to see 5:30 AM more than twice a year), so that is love. Thanks. I was going to write about the duathlon a day or two after I did it but I was so sore that I could not.

As crazy as this sounds, I am going to try to do one in October. The duathlon is the weekend before my wedding anniversary and nothing says romance like a duathlon. Yeah, Stacy does not buy that either.

2) Jamie and Liz moved from one 'M' state (Michigan) to another 'M' state (Maryland). This is the second time my workout partner and his significant other have moved to another 'M' state. The first time it happened, Carrick and Camilla, moved to Massachusetts and then to Mississippi. For the record, this sucks. I wish everyone well and people must mature and move on and get real jobs but still it sucks. I guess I will drown my sorrows in Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake (found at the dessert/deli counter at Busch's). I highly recommend it. :)

It takes a while for me to get people to get accustomed to the David Thomas experience. (Remember blogging is all about overestimating one's own self-importance). Liz and Jamie had learned to accept it and now they are gone. On the plus side, they have started a blog about their odyssey.

Notes

Cool thing about being in your thirties: You are young enough to do it but old enough to know better.

Write a book about taboo topics and some people will buy it just to say they bought it. ('Some people' equals me.)

Facebook is crazy. I think I am going to join the anal sex haiku fan club so that my fan pages are:

Planned parenthood
Murder She Wrote
Nformation Design
Buff1
The Roots
Anal sex haiku

Instead I think I will join the Law & Order fan club.

Breaking news: There are many anal sex fan clubs on Facebook but no anal sex haiku clubs. Go figure.

Commentary--I need people to tell me not to do something before I do it or look it up on the web.
