Baq's Weblog

It’s only Friday morning; I know… still, I can’t help but feel that the weekend has already started!

… Martinis & good times last night, and this morning the Intern scored big points by bringing in a gallon of Starbucks coffee. Way to go kid. Keep this up and pretty soon you’ll find yourself with a permanent position in this company!! (I don’t know if that’s a reward or not, but take as you will.)

I’m not too sure (because I haven’t run the numbers yet for fear of validating my suspicion), but I’m pretty sure that the interns around here get paid the same (hourly rate) as I do. Note that this should not be construed in any way that they are paid well.

Enough of that, let the weekend festivities begin! By the way, I’ve got a 19-miler tomorrow morning... so if you see a crazed, shirtless, pointy-nipple guy running down the 101 anywhere between Leucadia & Del Mar early tomorrow morning, be sure to honk!

Have you ever been to www.hummus.com? I went there today to find a good eggplant hummus recipe.

last night, and to much surprise, thaddeus came over with a little holiday cheer for the house:

unfortunately, i was taken by surprise, so there were no bells, or chimes ringing in the air... no eggnog in our glasses... but perhaps what was most missed while stringing the lights was that A Christmas Story wasn't playing on the tv. so i improvised and made nachos instead. what can you do?

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability.

16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN
by Dave Barry , Nationally Syndicated Columnist

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice person.
(This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

... until my legs couldn't run anymore. This morning I ran 17.5 miles, and in fine fashion if I say so myself!

;-)

Total Time = 131 minutes
Average Pace = 7:29

Leucadia to Del Mar (...and back again)
