A body in motion tends to stay in motion

NYC 1/2 Marathon, Jan 24, 2010
Replicants are like any other machine; they're either a benefit or a hazard.
We’re in our final weeks before the Big Gay Cruise 2: Going Down(under). Our closets have been emptied of all possible clothes and we’ve started the second culling, trying to be more realistic about what we’ll really wear and what can honestly fit in the suitcases. For example, I pulled out every one of my Green Lantern “Blackest Night” t-shirts, one of every color of the rainbow, but honestly, I know the likelihood of wearing more than the rage, fear, and death shirts is slim. Not exactly themes for the cruise but the shirts work.
Of course the clothes also depend on what we consider our final weight and so for me, after the modified diet, seven months of weight training with Trainer Ryan in New Hampshire, and a few 1/2 marathons, I’m almost where I want to be to fit into completely gay and inappropriate swimming suits. Skinny jeans are out of storage, finally.
FoodNetwork’s newest show and now one of my favorite? The Best Thing I Ever Ate. It’s the network’s hosts and other well-known chefs talking about their favorite foods in various categories like breakfast, BBQ, and desserts. Whether or not these are actually their favorites is beside the point because it is an introduction to decadent, amazing foods around the US. I’m busy trying to track down recipes (especially for that Stuffed French Toast recipe, stuffed with banana’s and peanut butter) and making reminders for the cities that appear on the show in case I end up getting client work and have a reason to travel there.
All of this after we get back from the Big Gay Cruise 2: Beau and Jeff Go Down (Under)
