One of the engineers I work with has been evacuated. Most of the houses around hers have burnt to the ground. In the picture above you can see her house in the foreground. This morning she could see her house with binoclurs from Flagstaff Mountain. K and I live in southeast Denver which is a [...]

The Russians Are Coming
Posted in friends, my life, workout on June 14, 2010 | 1 Comment »
While at the gym this afternoon the Russian Rugby team arrived for a workout. I learned two things about the Russian rugby players; they love the mullet and they are not fond of deodorant. I sometimes enjoy the smell of a sweaty man but an entire room full of sweaty stinky Russians was too much. [...]
Work, Beefy Eye Candy and Black Skirts

Work was a bitch this week. A handful of senior engineers and developers were out of the office on vacation or bereavement leave. The two new developers who were hired out of college tried to fill in on the flagship product live but failed miserable. The code is a mess. I have seven jobs that [...]
Gym Rant #7

It’s been a while since I posted a gym rant. This is for Rox. For the men of a certain age at the gym who are dying their hair to cover the gray, please look at the back of your head before you leave the house. Several of you are not properly applying the hair [...]
Back In The Day

Here’s part of a conversation I heard in the men’s locker room between two forty-something overweight men. They were reminiscing about clubbing in the eighties. Man 1: Do you remember that hot red head who always wore the high heels? Man 2: Ya, she was hot. What ever happened to her? Man 1: I ran [...]
Gym Rant 6

Why is it that some guys at the gym wear a colored t-shirt over a white t-shirt when they work out? I find this rather odd. One man changes his colored t-shirt before leaving the gym but never takes off his white t-shirt. I don’t understand the need to wear two t-shirts. The gym is [...]
A Conversation At The Gym

While on the treadmill at the gym I overheard this conversation between two twenty-something attractive women. Woman 1 – Did you go out with that hot guy you met? Woman 2 – Yes. He’s got a really nice place. Woman 1 – Are you going out with him again? Woman 2 – No. His bedroom [...]
Treadmills and Sequins

Remember the lady I wrote about who was wearing her hair wrapped up in a bath towel turban while using the treadmill at the gym? I saw her again yesterday. This time she was without the turban but she still had a very interesting outfit. She was wearing dark brown velour sweat pants and a [...]
Gym Rant 5

To the young man wearing the red sleeveless T-shirt with Che written across the front, long black workout pants, black athletic shoes and black bandanna on your head, it is not appropriate to pick your nose between sets of reverse pec deck flyes. In fact, it is rather gross considering other members, including me, have [...]

I never made it to Kate’s studio last night. The photo shoot lasted almost seven hours. Three views were taken including an incredible twilight shot showing the evening sky through the skylight. It was a lot of fun. I find it fascinating to work with Jackie. She is a master and I always learn something [...]
