Bug Eyes

I was watching TV a couple nights ago and I switched from the news to catch the final Jeopardy question, which I failed to answer correctly, then I clicked over to NBC because they have the Olympics. The Olympics isn't as good as Jeopardy, but I thought maybe they will have something good like ski-jumping or maybe bobsledding. Nope, NBC screwed the pooch and had ice-dancing on. I cant watch that. Ice-dancing makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a Number Two pencil, so I switched over to the Canadian channel. The Canadian channel always has decent Olympic coverage and I thought I might get lucky and see some curling.  If I hit the jackpot, they might show the women's Slovenia-Yugoslav hockey match. Nope. More ice-dancing. The space between my eyes and my brain caught fire, so I just mashed my thumb into the remote, looking to grab a random channel. Anything to make the pain go away. Anything but ice dancing. 

I ended up on a rerun of an old Anita Bryant movie on channel 660. As soon as I started watching the Anita movie, the programming genius that runs channel 660 switched it to an ASPCA commercial that had these dogs in cages with big eyes staring at me. Those bulimic dogs were staring right at me, cutting deep into my soul with their big, sad bug eyes. It was pitiful. The dogs were actually crying. I think some of the dogs were forced to pull little wagons in coal mines. According to the announcer, they need me to send sixty dollars to shut down that coal mine. I hit the 'back' button on the remote control and I see more ice dancing. I looked around for my Number Two eye-gouger but I couldn't find it so I sent in the sixty bucks to shut down the coal mine. It was the best I could do, given the options available.

Last Friday was Valentines Day. Instead of taking my wife out to dinner, or to a movie, I took her to spin class. I think it was a good choice. We went to the wine ride at Lifestyle Indoor Cycle. Try it. Spin for an hour, from 5:45 to 6:45, then they put out some great wine and cheese. I know, it sounds kinda different, but its a fun time.

I was suppose to run today, but I got busy with work. Tomorrow maybe.
