remember that time pants cooked the food you like, hosted the tailgate, let you stay over night, visited you too often at school, learned how to text, took you to practice, made you feel uncomfortable when asking you about a gf or bf, cried when you left home, loved you more than should be possible. you probably do. cause it happens everyday.

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:

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.

bike mike is getting married. seriously.
Posted by juplife on May 25, 2008
the amazing man pictured above is marrying the fine lady in red, gwen, this summer. we can’t lie and tell you we ever thought bike would be mature enough to ever marry a girl, but it’s true, the date has been set - august 23.
bike is famous for being pat’s roommate for three years at ND. they were sent to reslife several times together and were quite the duo at boat club. i’ll always especially appreciate bike and gwen for visiting me when i was living alone in paris.
incidentally, pat is the best man, defeating bike’s brother scott due to voluntary withdrawal by scott. with all of the characters attending this wedding, it’s sure to be a blast. dr and i have never been to boston. hopefully it’s the perfect road trip ending to the summer.
check out their wedding website here.
the bachelor party is so bad that it’s in detroit.

dr leaves me home alone for internship in minneapolis [sad story]
Posted by juplife on May 24, 2008
dr left me this morning to build lasting relationships with ryan companies. mike ryan, one of pat’s college roomies, is surely the front runner for chuck’s new name in 2009. the best thing about it is that he can go with either mike or ryan, since they’re both first names!
dr is going to be doing some sort of financial analysis for the company. i’ve heard great things about the twin cities so dr should have a great time. if you have friends in the area, let me know so dr can have friends.
it’s always sad when dr leaves. we spent his entire two weeks home playing sega, watching movies, and just hanging out. i’m going to miss the uncontrollable laughter that accompanies most of our time together. but i’m sure dr is going to miss softball and bowling just as much. hopefully we’ll reunite for a road trip to bike mike’s wedding at the end of the summer. we’re so good at road trips.
