Back in the Saddle

So summer's here, the remarkably overpriced iPhone is on the market, Barry Bonds is about to get branded with an indelible asterisk, I haven't posted a blog in a month, and I just completed an Olympic triathlon. Lot's to think about huh? I might as well forget about sleeping.

I will have to take credit for predicting the iPhone about four years ago. There have actually been MP3 player cell phones on the market for years, but nobody really used them. People are so damn loyal to Apple with MP3 players. I bought an MP3 player cell phone about a year and a half ago and most folks thought it was a pretty dumb idea. Go figure that one.

Bonds will in fact break the home run record, and yes, he used steroids. Bid deal. Do you think the improved pitching and longer ballparks doesn't negate the increased performance from steroids? Well, you may be right. It was hilarious when Mark McGuire shattered the yearly home run record that stood for 40 years and then Bonds broke it two years later. They must have figured out how to connect on the knuckle-change.

The triathlon went well - actually better than expected. I was anticipating a time of around 3:30, and I did it in 2:58. As of right now, I'm showing no symptoms of hepatitis, and the Schuylkill river was surprisingly free of floating dead bodies.

I was experimenting with how life would be without the blog for a while. It's not bad, but I think I'll try to update this thing about once a week. Enjoy your summer...
