Pomplamoose: Single Ladies

“Beyonce, I’m gon’ let you finish, but this Pomplamoose version of Single Ladies is one of the best versions of all time. . .”

34km

I know it is getting boring to everyone to read how many kilometers I’m riding on my bike, but I am continuing to write about it in part to inspire me to keep doing it. Not that I am going to do it every day – had no intention of doing it again tonight, but [...]

Praying Mantis

Bad iPhone pic of a pretty big praying mantis I picked up on the floor at school the other day and put out the window. I don’t like a lot of bugs – roaches, etc. – but for some reason praying mantises (manti?) don’t bother me. Although if they were much larger than they are [...]

The Cleanest Ears in Vietnam

I went to get a haircut today at a place near our apartment. A pretty good haircut = 20,000 dong ($1.20). They also had a guy in the barber shop doing ear cleaning. I’ve seen this all over Vietnam but never had it done. Basically you see guys laying back in reclining barber chairs with [...]

35km

It’s Sunday night here – about 9:15pm. Got back an hour or so ago from a nice bike ride. 35 kilometers, which is about 21 miles. It rained on us the whole time – but it was warm out and the rain actually felt kind of nice. We had a nice weekend. Saturday morning we [...]

31.6km More Tonight

I love the new route we found last night and was feeling like exercising again after a long day. Talked Dave into it and we hit it again. If I keep this up I am going to actually get in shape. Like I’ve said before on this blog, I’ve learned it takes a lot more [...]

Finished!

With ComLaw, at least. 207 down. Will still have to enter in all of the scores once all of the teachers have marked their questions, but for now it’s on to grading my negotiations course – which should be nearly as difficult as grading ComLaw but you never know.

Ole Miss Exposed . . .

as most overrated #4 team ever. Terrible game, Rebels. Just terrible. I don’t understand.

Up with the Rebels

Woke up at 6:30 to watch the Ole Miss vs. South Carolina game. Nearing the end of the first quarter and still scoreless, although Ole Miss is doing a pretty good job moving the football down the field on this series. SC came out with a lot of emotion and is playing well. Hopefully Ole [...]

30 More K

K as in kilometers – not as in thousands. Sadly. Rode 30 more kilometers with my buddy Dave. We found a very nice ride tonight – ended up in a gated industrial park where there was literally no traffic whatsoever. And it dead-ended right at the 15km mark, which made for a nice turnaround point. [...]
