It was only a week ago....

If you read that topic right down there, 2 topics down, I wrote about wanting to blow off Wednesday Night Track run. I emailed my running buddy with whom I have a "standing appointment" for this Wednesday Night thing. My email, "you going tonight?"....Her reply, "of course!" So I blushed and thought I need to not even ask, just SHOW UP!

So surely I wouldn't send a message like that today, as the answer, "of course" would further make me look like a wimp.

I showed up. I showed up 45 minutes early to make this my "long run" before my Half-Marathon on Sunday. My last-ditch training. Schucks, I've still got .43 weeks left to train (laughing)! Had a GREAT TIME, lotsa great folks showed up! We all ran a pretty relaxed paced and chit-chatted the whole time.

But apparently SOMEBODY elected to NOT SHOW UP!! (Where's my "shaking head" emoticon? And while I'm digging up emoticons, might as well splash in a few "rolling eyes" emoticons, too). Hey, it's all good!

And in other news, I found this to be quite funny! Dealing with bill collectors:

The Knack

My friend, Jeff, recently emailed this video to a couple of people. In the subject line he wrote, "I know someone who has this". I called him on the phone and yelled, "HEY" when we were talking about it. He said, "I didn't say WHO had it, only that I know someone with this affliction". I replied, "HEY, I resemble that"! I'm totally guilty of having this disorder:

Funny: The IMPLICIT BET.....

I was at a party a couple of weeks ago, laughing it up with some great friends. My best friend, Jeff, was there. I recalled something that I devised/concocted a long time ago, too funny. I crack myself up sometimes!

Calling Jeff on the phone a long time ago:

Ev: "Hey man, what's up?"
Jeff: "Just hanging out"
Ev: "hey, you owe me 10 bucks"
Jeff: "what the hell are you talking about?"
Ev: "such and such won the game (or race, or whatever it was)"
Jeff: "you're out of your mind, I didn't bet you!"
Ev: "yeah, but you WOULD HAVE BET ME, therefore it's valid"
Jeff: "yeah, you're right"

He paid me the 10 bucks!! And so it was born, IMPLICIT BETTING!!

We just laughed like crazy about IMPLICIT BETTING! He couldn't deny that he would have taken the bet, so he DID hafta cough up the coin! Too funny!
