Top Ten Things I Could Do On A Monday Night Besides Watch The Biggest Loser

Because who doesn't want to be Letterman sometimes?

(drumroll . . .)

Number Ten . . .
Read up on the Race2Recovery rally car team, the first ever disabled crew to complete the Dakar rally.  Top Gear UK did a featurette on them for the show a couple years ago.  http://race2recovery.com

Number Nine . . .
Work on the counted cross-stitch pattern that's been kicking around my cube for over a year.  I'm gonna get it framed.

Number Eight . . .
Try to remember the names of some folks I saw on a special NBC Sports did on the Hawaiian Ironman triathalon -- like the blind grandfather who completed the course tethered to a sighted guide, or the fella who jogged the marathon on artificial feet.

Number Seven . . .
Tink away at Mortal Kombat 9 in preparation for SGC.  Few things in life are more catharic than ripping a guy's spine out.  Sub Zero 4 EVAH, bay-bee!

Number Six . . .
Pop in my DVD box set of the 2011 NBA Finals and marvel at the combined determination/stupiditiy of Nowitzki, starting a Finals game with a 102 degree fever.

Number Five . . .
Shop for a car.  A car solves a lot of scheduling problems -- a trip to the gym after a seven PM quitting time equals not getting to bed until midnight or thereabouts, factoring in all the waiting around I have to do whilst taking DART.

Number Four . . .
Marvel at the capriciousness of a God who takes John Lennon away yet lets Charles Manson live to a ripe old age.

Number Three . . .
Continue my palatte's education in different flavors.  Just because it's strong and unfamiliar doesn't mean it's bad, give it another bite and see how it goes . . . nope, onions are still DO NOT WANT!  And HWARF!!!

Number Two . . .
Get in touch with my sister and see how she, her POSSLQ, and her furry little monsters are getting on.

And the Number One thing I could do on a Monday night besides watch The Biggest Loser . . .
Go to the gym and work out.

PLAY ME OFF PAUL!
