Sounds like some good gifts JHDK including the weights. Good for her. I don't see as many women going to lift at the YMCA and I think that is a women friendly place. Most of them that do use the E Gym weight equipment, and they move pretty fast. I usually wait for them to go first or I wait to mid afternoon or 8pm when there is less to no activity on the stations.

When I use to belong to Planet Fitness, I would see more women lifting but still more quys and younger than at the Y.

I like watching You Tube reaction videos. And since we are doing Wolf's 80's #1 Madness, though it was disappointing to see Mike and the Mechanics Living Years bow out,
I thought I'd share this reaction video that looks somewhat honest here rather than in the Madness thread

I'm getting this to go with it. This is the show poster like the good one and I believe it said I don't care if it's signed or not. It's like shiny foil. It's a cool poster of the show I went to with Pam in 2024.

These two DMB things along with all the other more normal Christmas gifts should be a pretty cool way for me to be creative like she told me to be and also have more traditional stuff to give her.

I got her a bunch of fancy lady sprays or whatever that she likes from some company called Salt and Stone and I got her weights that she wanted cuz she works out with weights all the time which is amazing. She said she wanted 40 lb dumbbells. Good God, those things are heavy. One of those fuckers is like 31% of her entire body weight. So God knows how she's lifting those things. But hey more power to her cuz she's hot as fuck and super skinny and that's awesome.

Somehow she likes big old fat me. Either she has some sort of undiagnosed serious mental problem or I really don't understand how women work.

Everything else has arrived except that poster from the concert we went to so that sucks. It was supposed to be here on the 9th but it doesn't appear to be lost. So whatever they'll show up eventually.

Anyway, we're doing our Christmas on Monday because she's going to her mom's place in Tennessee until the new year and with all the stuff going on with our situation that I've explained in the In the past, Monday is the only real day we can hang out.

We were going to hang out at my place but I decided to get one more gift and we are going to be staying here:



They Pompano Beach Marriott. It's 11 miles from North Lauderdale.

She'll get to my place at about 6:30am and I'm going to surprise her. I'm just going to have her get in my car and I'm going to drive her there. That should be fun.

So it'll be really cool to hang out in a ocean-facing hotel room for the day or so. It'll be a nice South Florida Christmas.

It was a cold and very windy day. Chilly for us down here. Meaning like mid-60s and windy for anybody. Meaning like constant 20 mph with gusts to probably 40.

Which I guess is awesome for all these kite surfing nerds. Because they were out in force, Pam and I determined that the resort must rent them or something because there were way too many of them and they all had the same logo on the top of their little like kite thing.

But some of them had balls. They would leap out of the water like probably 20 ft or so. It was cool to watch.

I couldn't get the best pics from the 9th floor on a rainy window, but this one's pretty good:

From now through January 9, the recent PBS American Masters Dick Van Dyke documentary can be seen here;


"Oh, just one more thing." On a 1974 episode of Columbo, Van Dyke played Paul Galesko, a photographer who murders his wife and attempts to frame an ex-con for kidnapping and murder. The documentary does not mention the episode. Here is the ending:

There are some cool artists on that list, but I'm not a huge fan of any of them. What matters to me is that.......

94 WIP in Philly is one of Audacy's stations And I listen all the time so I'm a big fan of that company and their app.

I gave her the drum head and frame at the oceanfront hotel. I need to hang onto it for a bit for reasons I've explained before.

Anyway, it looks pretty fucking cool right? I think it was worth all that effort to try to make sure the signature is legit. If that was like Trey or Jon I'd really dig it. And she seemed to react the same way so mission accomplished.

Latest Top 10 Kentucky Derby Contenders. (Not point leaders) Lots of prep races still left. Incredibolt won the Virginia Derby last weekend and The Louisiana Derby is this weekend. Let's hope none of these nice horses get injured. Last year, Tappan Street won the Florida Derby (actually edged out Soveignty) then got injured and Rodriguez won the Wood Memorial and also injured. Both qualified but scratched out of the Kentucky Derby

What a fun list this is! But it doesn't include "Ah, what symmetrical digits! Soft as the fuzz on a baby's arm," spoken by W.C. Fields to Mae West as he kisses her hand in My Little Chickadee (1940).


I may not have this 100% but......."You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

If that's not on the list, the list is wack.

I just learned a few weeks ago that it was Jonathan Nolan who wrote that, not Chris.

EDIT: It's not on the list. Along with another all timer for me:

"Go home and get your fuckin shinebox."
