This is just pathetic...

[jon_chaisson]

I was sent out to retrieve the Garage Sale signs from around the neighborhood on Sunday, so instead of getting in my car and stopping every few moments to pull those bad boys out of the ground (props to Lynxie for 133t stake ski11z), I decided to walk the entire length. All in all probably a half-mile altogether, more or less.

Okay, considering Boonton is all hill and the weather was 90s and humid (making breathing a chore), I should have known better than to take that route, but the fact that I was SORE and OUT OF BREATH by just that walking alone just pissed me off. I'm severely out of shape. Which means that if SF is a reality, I will be SO SCREWED when it comes to hills. I think it's time to stop sitting on my butt and do a bit of walking. ;)

That's one heck of a hill you live on/around, and the temperature was enough to kill a bull moose. I think it is excusable.

Also, if SF becomes a reality, you'll just be a head floating in a jar, and robots will do all the heavy lifting/bending for you so what's to worry?

Oh, you mean San Fran, not science fiction. Well still, head in jar/robots should apply to California too. :)

Brilliant set up and delivery, chief. Kudos to you. ;)

I initially read that as Sci-Fi, too, which I never would have done if you and Lynx hadn't learned we in the Ways of the Geek. However, I also thought that chaoticmoth's reference to mobile today meant phone the first time I read it, so it could just be that I'm stupid. ;)

Yay! We're training you!

[vampyrusgirl.livejournal.com]

To recognize it - not to read it. :)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

These things take time.

If nothing else, Boonton should be good training for SF. From what I hear, SF doesn't get as hot or humid as NJ.

And it doesn't snow, thank God. I think one of the biggest selling points for me is the weather factor. Well, that and Amoeba Records. ;)

I have th join the SciFi interpretation crowd, coming from you it is expected. :)

I too am feeling like I don't get enough exercise, and my weight has been slowly but steadily creeping up a little bit here, and a little bit there. I have been down this road many times and I don't like where it ends, so have started trying to cut back on my snacks. The worst is the weekends. At work I can avoid snacking by not getting money out of the ATM. No cash, no snacks. At home it is much harder. I need to get rid of all snack food in the house!

One More Thing [/Uncle]
I'd like to point out that I was not the one that "sent him out" to get the signs.

That would be me....

Same here from Sis #1 and Bro-In-Law!

We wish the best for you both in your new life together. We're
so happy that you two are happy! That is what is most important.
These are your own choices, your own decisions. Contrary to what
some may have perceived, your happiness (and happiness in our
family as a whole) is what is in my best interest.

Being the family genealogist (hence my interests / priorities
in communications, organizing family reunions, family military history,
etc.) it will be a pleasure to add Emmalyon to our family tree!

Welcome Sister-In-Law! And thank you for making my only brother
a very happy man. It is so nice to see. :-)

See you both this weekend. Safe trip!

(p.s. Thanks, Emma, for the mini cello lesson when you visited
last time! Lessons start next week - will keep you posted on how
it goes!)

Thanks!! :-)

As my aunt said when she met him, we are happy to have J. joining our family as well.
(and you will probably be a much better cellist than me soon, as I was a callow, lazy teenager when i took lessons!!)
