Sore Backside

I ride an exercise bike daily for about an hour. It makes my rump sore. Monday and Tuesday I'm okay...by Wednesday I'm starting to feel it...and by Thursday and Friday it hurts. Saturday and Sunday I take a break from riding, so the butasm recovers, only to begin the "cycle" again the next week.

I hope I've remedied the problem. I bought some padded bicycle pants, that should comfort the sensitive portions while I grind out my morning routine.

The Summer of George

I'm George, at least I'm called that by my girlfriend's best friend, who doesn't want to call me Jeff because of her ex-husband of the same name. (How is that my fault Anjaaaaayyy?).

Seriously, I dig the name "George." You see, George Costanza is a role model of mine, willingly or unwillingly. I am a Seinfeld afficianado (at least I consider myself to be), and I've noticed that most of my favorite episodes revolve around Georgie-boy. One of my favorites is the Frogger episode, in which George purchases an old Frogger machine on which he still has the high score after many years. In another one, George receives three months severence pay from the Yankees. He proclaims the upcoming months to be "the summer of George."

That's also what I'm calling my summer this year. Here's a tribute to ole Georgie C. Here's another clip: George's answering machine message (while screening calls to avoid having his girlfriend break up with him).
