Today's Joke

A husband got in big trouble after forgetting his wedding anniversary. His wife gave him an ultimatum: "Tomorrow there better be something in the driveway for me that goes from zero to 200 in two seconds flat."
The next morning the man woke his wife, and urged her to look out the window at the driveway. She did and let out a scream when she saw what he bought her ... a bathroom scale.

TODAY'S JOKE

An aged farmer and his wife were leaning against the edge of their pig-pen when the old woman wistfully recalled that the next week would mark their golden wedding anniversary.

"Let's have a party, Homer," she suggested. "Let's kill a pig."

The farmer scratched his grizzled head. "Gee, Ethel," he finally answered, "I don't see why the pig should take the blame for something that happened fifty years ago."

FAST TEMPO

Thursday, April 26, 2012

                I had grape nuts for breakfast and a smothered taco at Las Glorias with Corey for lunch.

                At just before 4:00 p.m. I started my walk; every other day is working well for me at the present. I walked past the church to 800 South, west to Redwood Road then south to Centennial Boulevard and around the Centennial building. From there I walked along Parkway Boulevard to the next subdivision road on the left where I went west on that road and took the sidewalk to Redwood Road. I went to the next road and took the sidewalk and road to Parkway Boulevard and north again. I kept going back and forth between Redwood and Parkway Boulevard all the way to Saratoga Drive where I went east toward home walking through the two circles in our ward.

                For whatever reason my body wanted to walk fast (fast for me) and I kept it up the whole way though near the end the body wanted to slow down some but I forced myself to maintain the faster speed.

                I walked for 2:04:13 hours, 6.74 miles at an average speed of 3.3 mph. I burned 778 calories.

                Two times ago I told myself that my immediate goal was to walk for two hours. I guess I need to come up with a new immediate goal now.

MITT and OBAMA

Tuesday, April 24, 2012—11:20 a.m.

                Len (Pavia) and I just finish “Ward Teaching” at the end at Lunt’s, Gary mentioned an editorial cartoon from Bolivia that someone they know who lives there called and told him about.

Mitt Romney and President Obama are talking and President Obama says to Mitt, “I have some good news and some bad news.”

Mitt, “Well what’s the good news?”

Obama, “I think it is time we have a Mormon as president!”

Mitt, “What’s the bad news?”

Obama, “I’m getting baptized Saturday.”

WALK 'TIL YOU DROP

Thursday, April 19, 2012

                At 2:30 this afternoon I went for one of my walks. Again I walked to the Centennial Building by way of Redwood road and back on Parkway. This time I didn’t take any shortcuts, in fact I took a couple of side trips. I walked for 1:36 hours, 4.47 miles, burned 445 calories at an average speed of 2.8 miles per hour.

                Already I can tell I am getting stronger and my knees are handling it better.

                My immediate goal is to be able to keep it up for 2:00 hours.
