The Black Assassin has lived at our home for 2 years today. She's my buddy all day long. What's a chewed up couch count in the grand scheme of things.

We joined the Y on Sunday and Mrs took part in a yoga class yesterday. I shot baskets in the gym with some old timer who's more full of shit than I am. Hard to believe but true. I'd like to do a little weight lifting but that floor with the exercise equipment is hard for me to take. I mean I held my mother's hand when she blew out her last breath in this life and I left the Snow Bear's body at the vet (it was hard to leave her) so she could be cremated but I refuse to take exercise seriously. Now the basketball court is where the fun is. Loads of Somali kids shooting the rock...and a couple of old white guys shooting two hand set shots. Yee ha!

Some people don't believe me when I tell them how much this shit sells for. I'd have to win the lottery before I'd pay 3 grand for a No-show Moreno jersey. I'm a jersey scavenger. I buy jerseys from guys who get traded or dropped. In that spirit I'm looking for a Prince Fielder Brewers jersey for the right price.

I saw some guy skiing at Hiawatha Golf Course yesterday afternoon. Talk about a diehard. I used to cross country ski but I fell down too much so I continued riding my bike in the winter instead of parking it in November.

Since they're fixing that bicycle bridge over Hiawatha they may as well correct one of the other design flaws. When the bridge was built benches were installed but as Hurl pointed out there are no ash trays adjacent to the benches which is bullshit.

A lot of shows on what I call regular cable such as Justified, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead contain liberal use of the words shit, asshole and GD-it. But why is the word fuck banned? It's true that I never heard my mother use the word but it's usage is so widespread that it just doesn't have the same oomph that it one had.

Let's have this presidential election next Tuesday and be done with this shit. You know who you're going to vote for. I mean, come on, are 8 more months of shit slinging going to change your mind?

I'm joining the Y so I can shoot hoops with white guys. I just need to purchase a pair of those short shorts that runners sometimes wear. Sexy motherfuckers!

My old buddy from the City of Richfield finally got another job after almost 3 years of playing the fucking game. He's proof of how hard it is to get another job when you're over 45. And he's still delivering pizzas part time.

It's easier to ride a bike than walk these days. No big deal. Mrs says that leg is just going to fall off. How fucking cool would that be?

Red, sorry I missed you at Midtown this morning. I made a stop and had coffee with the family attorney and Nice Ride Josh. Yes, Mrs and I have spent 25 to 30 grand at Freewheel. Yes, Kevin should GIVE me an access card even though I won't park any of my shit in there.

Now I know why stay at home moms seldom bathe.

Not back to Saint Paul again. Mrs ordered a book from Krochs and Brentano's or whatever the name of the book store in Highland is. I get the big ass burrito from Chipotle so it's all good.

I've ridden 300 miles so far this year so a thousand isn't out of the question.

Bolstad will be providing artillery for Mrs assault on the Roseville Herberger's tomorrow.

I put this one on Facebook which was a waste of time. You mugs are much more refined. Stay classy. What's the point of the video? Just that my little girl is spoiled fucking rotten which is just perfect in my book.

Some of you may not have seen this one. My boy Skibby has still got it. You know I can wear that hat and get dirty looks from fucktards who have their balls neatly stored in the old lady's purse.

I need Tivo so I can record the Super Bowl and watch it in condensed form without the shitty halftime show or the over-hyped commercials. At least I can say I remember the Super Bowl when it was just a football game.

I'm surprised the bike trails aren't loaded with commuters these days. There are basically no icy spots and the weather has been about as chilly as mid November. Did I mention that gas is $3.35 a gallon?

It doesn't seem like you could be this alone in Chicago. I guess you just have to look. A foggy day on your bike beats the shit out of any day at work.
