Diet Club

A giant groundhog comes to Diet Club at Grandma's house. Yes, my mother and her sisters are now meeting every Monday to weigh in, bet on their physical activity for the following week, and to eat hot dogs, M&Ms, peanuts, and drink Mountain Dew. Those who live outside the area phone in their results. It is a little bizarre and even more so since they regularly have guest appearances by my uncles and other family members.

I am forbidden from discussing anything I overheard regarding their past success/failure, or who won the "Money Pot" this month. I can tell you that Grandma successfully completed her expected walking activity from the previous week. When asked where she does this walking, she described how she is a little unstable outside so she does laps in the house. Seven laps, to be specific, seven times around her kitchen table. I am not kidding. Then we ate the hot dogs around 10 PM and went home. This doesn't seem to be a very effective method of losing weight, but it was a good time!

Note: I busted my camera lens on my phone so mobile posts like this will be fuzzy going forward. For example, you might have to click the pic above to actually see Mr. Ground Hog. In case you missed it, at least my 1,000th post below came out fairly clearly.

Grandma's garden is a good cleanser to transition to a wholesome week with family.

OMG

Strippers in Columbus take it to such a new level...

POST EDIT: Seriously, they were ridiculously hot and very interactive on the stage (aka Pool Tables) While I wanted to make a big deal out of my 1,000th post, I'm not sure I want to promote this particular one. Unfortunately, when you are cocktailing and mobile blogging, these things happen. So here it is...this was officially my 1,000th post up here in insidethedistrict. Enjoy! Perhaps my 2,000th post will have more, hmmm, meat to it?

CMH after dark...tattoos and twinks! Papi like!

Pig

Actually this place isn't, but the partially working sign struck me as comical for a gay bar window.

We got half way to Bat N Rouge and were rained out. Taking shelter under the Club 185 awning while we wait for a ride to our alternate option: Club D here we come!

Mother brings another tray of treats to the table. Having a fabulous time in the garden!

Smile for Jesus

We're at it again (or still) and this is our enabler

Thank god I'm driving. Last time it was vino...this time it is 151 he smuggled in his Lopez ass.

So...Club D, James 88, Score, then back to Club D which was filled with hot mens. I Said it was time to go, got In the car, drove away, and then saw this. I DO NOT THINK THE STEMWARE IS A TO GO CUP. HOWEVER, who am i to judge. The party must go on.

Morning Run

The bad thing about arriving so late last night (or rather this morning) was that it was too late to meet up with my friends. I had a nice chat and a cold beer with Jack & James; then crashed.

The good thing about it was my early wake up time! I was able to get up, handle a few voicemails/emails, and then take a nice 5.61 mile run this AM! It wasn't supposed to be that long, but I took a shortcut and got lost by selecting a street that doesn't cross theirs. Nice work slick.

I did have a nice surprise on Gould Street when I passed the Lustron Home pictured above. I've always wanted to live in one of these and perhaps one day I will have one! Sorry the picture is bad - Apparently wiping off my phone camera lense with my drenched shirt was not very effective. Despite the profuse sweating, this sighting made the run completely worthwhile. I still want to be an architect when I grow up.

Time for a bit more work and then off to lunch with old colleagues.

Delay...

Well there is certainly no need to worry about a water landing when you never take off. My 8:05 flight is finally boarded, but now we have to wait while some old man is checked for a medical emergency. While I'm not thrilled about the additional delay, I would rather he have his heart attack at the airport than on the plane. I'll get to CMH at some point I suppose. Thank god for Borders where I used my new mobile text coupon to get another Sedaris book at 25% off.

Festival of Ignorance

This is not exactly fresh off the press, but it certainly is interesting. I hate Fox News.

Rock On!

Before Madonna, before Cyndi, and Before virtually every girl rocker and pop star, there was one who set the standard and paved the way. She is my idol and 30 years later she's still got it! I am in my own personal heaven right now! Rock on Pat Benatar!
