Power Hiking Alaskan Wraiths-Part 1
December 1st 2007 18:08
The morning started out well enough, Tisha had a dental appointment with a sadistic escapee from a mental slash dental school; and I just knew she was going to want retreat to her home couch when she was loosed from that torture chamber.
What a short sighted dummy that not so grand schemer turned out to be. Tisha came bounding out of the dentists office smiling, chatting and I swear, she was laughing! Laughing. Go figure, it started to sink in, that gnawing suspicion of pending doom. I keep forgetting about the resilience of these tough Alaskan women. An oversight that demanded a brutal recompense from this author. Because, heh, the situation got even better.
Our great buddy and adopted daughter decided to help my precious wife exorcise the fat demons out of me, personally. Left with no where to hide because they both can easily run me down, I grudgingly agreed to go for a short walk; not a hike-a walk.
Trudging in the reverse direction, the two angelic looking fiends broke into their power walking mode. It was an awe inspiring sight, really it was, truly.
When I arrived, they were, stretching and doing aerobics, have they no mercy or a modicum of tenderness beneath their frozen parkas? Arrrgh, the pitiless hags! I would get even and began hatching a vengeful plot.
This sordid tale is getting long, so stand by for Part 2.
Raven, love is why.

Life can be so cruel and the fair sex ungraciously unkind as drawing on the elements they sustain themselves.
Next time offer to follow them in the car in case one of them hurts themselves,
What a gorgeous child!
No, Raven, not you silly.

Those girls are tough, phew!
Either Toady or the boy is my grandson, I get them confused sometimes. They're usually both in hot pursuit of bug and small snakes, so you can understand the confusion.

QUOTE ME NO QUOTES!
you have a very handsome family, cane toad has a great smile on it too!
I think we share similar views on exercise by the sounds of it. I get mine shopping for groceries, carrying the pug up and even down stairs sometimes and typing...lots of typing...the most exercised part of my body!
I have very svelte fingers and overall, my wrists and hands look very athletic, almost Olympian.
Looking forward to the next piece, especially the hot chocolate!
cheers

what is that in metric?

That darn exercise thing really is highly over rated; I do a touch toe every morning, isometrics are accomplished via drinking copious amounts of chocolate laced coffee, eating, pounding a keypad, brandishing paint brushes and fighting off body functions trying to interrupt my efforts and the struggle to carry trash to the curb.
Hmmm, I guess these paws are svelte in a brickish sort of way. Oh yeah! The hot chocolate parade is on it's way and should be online now as Part 2.
Geez Damo, I couldn't find the darn Fahrenheit symbol on they keypad anywhere. It's there, I just couldn't find it. But then, it could be a secret frozen butt scale that goes from 1F to 50F. At 29F, anatomical things begin hiding, your nose drips copious amount of noxious fluids, your butt starts crackling while you walk, and your shorts disappear for a week. Yea, that's it.
Thanks guys, great fun. Hey, how come no one let me know I had a cone head?? Wow, it looks like a bullet. Raven
