updates from the og of blogging (daniel richard amato)

Posted by juplife on July 23, 2008

when i started this blog three years ago (wow, i’m a geek), dr was right by my side running his own. he’s been sporadic since he entered college, but never fails to impress when he does write. luckily i’ve kept coopsterdog blog on my google reader so i’m always notified first when he does post. yesterday it finally paid off again as he pulled through with two new great posts. all the ladies better rush over to check it out for photos of him in his stinker splish suit.

while i’m at it, i figure i should mention a few other blogs that i read regularly when they post. hopefully it encourages them to post more often:

  1. skeets
  2. uncle nathan
  3. sproutworx
  4. stephenAmurhpy
  5. sarah noppstar
  6. toledo toboggan

dr is a nut case and swims in 55 degree water with a stinker suit (wetsuits are for pansies)

Posted by juplife on July 22, 2008

dr participated in another tri this weekend. he made the trip to milwaukee for the racine half ironman. what is worthy to note is that dr qualified for a national tri with his time at his last tri and that the water in milwaukee apparently causes hypothermia. this means two things, 1) that he competes in triathlons for time; not completion, and 2) he might need to think about investing in a wetsuit for the swimming portion next time.

it follows that dr only wore his stinker suit. the rest of the field found this to be very odd as he was the only one around not wearing a wetsuit due to the extreme water conditions. the crowd was very amused by this and many of them struck up conversations with him asking about his costume choices and photo ops. with this kind of dedication, dr should certainly be sponsored by the stinker suit company.

fortunately for the rest of us who don’t quite understand the novelty of his decision, there is the beauty of the internet and photo sites such as flickr. a quick search confirmed his story that everyone at the tri truly did believe dr to be a little crazy. or as rabkaman says, a ‘nut case’. the photo above was taken from his photo stream.

unfortunately for dr, a slight case of the purple face sunk in (see: hypothermia) and his tire popped three miles into his bike. dr, striving for his best time, opted not to complete the race after the tire malfunction. hopefully this prepares him the austin half and his quest to finally top pat in the standings.

edit: the stinker suit is a splish brand brief. they should still totally sponsor our kid and give him his own custom suit.

gramma and the noppstar (i love postcards)

Posted by juplife on July 20, 2008

gramma's a beast

gramma's a beast

between eating pizza, watching friends, and running 5k’s, gramma green doesn’t seem to have much to do in memphis. this is good for me because i get postcards such as the above photo on a regular basis. as you can tell, gramma is still enjoying whiskey and coke flavored drinks and setting a positive example for the teenagers in memphis.

i also received a postcard from a new source this week. gym and little boy’s cousin, sarah, the one i commissioned to knit me a scarf last fall and still haven’t received, took a one week break from life to focus on her knitting. her vacation was obviously a hoax since paw paw lakes is not a real place and no mother should let her daughters out of the house in clothing like that. but i’m glad she took the time to send me a postcard while on her imaginary vacation.
