I really haven't been on a bike since I was a teenager. I do agree that riding outside is much more enjoyable than in a gym. Frankly, I never saw the attraction in riding a stationary bike.
Too bad about the loss, but it sounds like a valiant effort. Good luck on your next games.
Congrats to DD. The loss sucks, but the win is great, especially against someone older.

You need some kind of pre-game routine that will scare the crap out of those young whipper-snappers.
Congrats to DD on the nice win.

So, guess what happens to you when your old and play 2 hours of singles tennis in the muggy heat/ humidity of Kentucky? That's right, your hamstrings and calf muscles cramp up. Or, at least mine did. I did all my hydrating before, during, Gatorade, and bananas, yet still hadn't felt pain like that in years. At 2:00 AM, I was sitting on the couch with the heating/ massage pad moving between the four areas. Like any other idiot, I went and played again today. We won the mixed doubles match 6-6, 6-3 against the #2 HS girl and her dad, although he wasn't very good. Then, on 30 minutes rest, lost the doubles match. I didn't play well. Now, I'm home icing my hamstrings, drinking chocolate milk, and will alternate with heating pad. I'll have semi-final and final tomorrow if I'm still alive.

hanks, and yes, it's all my fault. I didn't know we had a hall of fame, but it's not a bad idea. If we form a DisDad hall of fame, I nominate the "Hall of Fame" song by the Script to be to official song of the DisDad Hall of fame

Try mustard for the cramps; apparently it is an old home remedy.

Can't see myself living there, but a holiday place is getting more real. DW just challenged me to find her the place.Yes, fresh seafood on vacation is the way to go. Another perk or living near the ocean. Just 10 more years....
Aye aye, Cap'n. Enjoy the break.Good Morning Gents! Last time on a computer until after Labor Day! Headed out to tour some National Park in and around Wyoming. Just taking a pone and a small tablet, not going to be much WiFi or cell service out there, so any changes or request will have to wait 'til I get back. Welcome the new guys for me and I will add them when I get back too.
Can't you just ask Morgan Freeman to sort it out? That's why Mr Wayne hired him.It's a smallish red button concealed in the shifter knob, but it also only comes in those models fitted with the "Crusader" upgrade package. Check the original bill of sale, if the price tag was somewhere around 738.9 million bucks US, then the button should be there.
Well played sir.So I'm at work. Again.
Oh, well. At least I feel good about helping out a friend.
And this is why I stay on dry land.If you think its bad after parks / beach should see what a cruise does to ya.
Very nice. Always wanted to do Halloween. Maybe in a couple of years when the littl'uns can get over the jet lag on a week break.Just realized it's less than a month before we head down to Da' World for a no young'ens anniversary excursion.
Good job beating the girl.

If you build it , they will come...
Fantastic! Congrats! Maybe that makes the ice baths worth it?We are the champions of Mixed Doubles. Played semi and finals this AM.
Congrats! That should make the ice bath worth it.Well, I'm not dead, but sitting in ice bath which is the closest thing to death I can think of.

Ahem, so are we saying we want to see Norm in yoga pants?! I thought picturing him in an ice bath was bad enough....Yoga pants
I hear you there. I may have mentioned that I travel overseas for work, on rotation. I spend a month at a time in a small town (pop. 25,000) in Malaysia. It's quite far from anything interesting (usually that's where the oil rigs are in any country), although the food is not too bad here, once I got used to eating rice a lot more. So despite the travel, I don't always get to see much. I've spent 10 years travelling to Asia regularly but I have yet to be able to coordinate a trip to any of the Asian Disney parks.Thanks for the comments on upcoming China trip but I do want to remind those that international business travel ain't what many think it is. Downside is travel time as it takes basically 24-26 hours to get to China. The other downside is it is full business related activities all week and the food is terrible. I will be in an industrial area of China so not like I'm gonna stop in at Shanghai Disney. Yes seeing other parts of the world is nice but every international trip just makes me appreciate even more what we have here.
I'll miss it too. I've got mixed feelings about the switch. I've seen the videos of Paint the Night and it looks impressive. But it certainly doesn't have the nostalgia the MSEP has.Just watched MSEP live stream, lots of memories, gonna miss it.

That's the problem...Can't you just ask Morgan Freeman to sort it out? That's why Mr Wayne hired him.
That's a positive development.Well, I'm not dead,
Burrrrrr....but sitting in ice bath which is the closest thing to death I can think of.
"Oh, I hope not..."Ahem, so are we saying we want to see Norm in yoga pants?!
Beats being stuck in the Karachi Airport, I suspect.Sitting in the Toronto Airport waiting for my next flight; good times.

Nice work, Norm. Where's the cup?We are the champions of Mixed Doubles. Played semi and finals this AM.
One man's constriction is another man's presentation.To each his own, but I've always found them a bit, uh, shall we say, constricting.
Are you not Batman? Well I just lost 5 dollars.He works for Mr Wayne; not Norm (and certainly not for me).
Ahem, so are we saying we want to see Norm in yoga pants?! I thought picturing him in an ice bath was bad enough....
If it's good enough for Andy Murray......Well, I'm not dead, but sitting in ice bath which is the closest thing to death I can think of.
That'll learn ya'...Are you not Batman? Well I just lost 5 dollars.
Thanks, two mental pictures that took a bit to get out of my headAhem, so are we saying we want to see Norm in yoga pants?! I thought picturing him in an ice bath was bad enough....
Safe travelsSitting in the Toronto Airport waiting for my next flight; good times.
Congrats Norm on the nice tennis win. Hope you made it out of the ice bath.
