the hazards of "yogging"






it has been one of those weeks where a flex-time work situation kinda works against a guy. sometimes ya just gotta be there for longer stretches. missed some prime skiing conditions, but we haven't had a shortage of those this year, and i really like my job so it's alright. normally i'd just bag riding or skiing or whatever in times like this, but yip-the-coyote is on my case so that means i dug out my running shoes out instead. i've had times when i kinda like running, and other times not. lately, i decided to just hang around the neighborhood running a few hill repeats . . . . it's good to do in the cold, and makes the time go by, and as an old guy singlespeeder attempting to race i need to be able to run my sorry ass up hills often enuf so perhaps it could argued that the situation is even productive.

so, what does any of that have to do with a very disturbing image of a sewing machine needle stuck thru a fingernail, you ask ??

see the image below. that isn't me, but it may as well be. i have been lovingly told that i cut a less than stellar visage in numerous ways whilst yogging. one time, as i was heading out, looking more or less like the gentleman below as usual - MK was sewing. her mom criied out in horror at my stunning form as i headed for the outdoors in broad daylight, MK looked up and was equally stricken and next thing ya know - she was actually and literally ( and somewhat sanguinely ) sewn into her project( !!!!!!!!!!! ). her little friends all fled the scene immediately with hi-pitched wailing, but then stared back in petrified wonder thru the window, to see if she was gonna pass out, or croak, or what - still with the accompanying wail, naturally. quite the scene !!

hazardous activity, that "yogging".

Seriously? If there was ever any doubt about MK's toughness (and I don't think there has been) that photo proves she's one strong cookie (or crazy like her old man).

I bet the girl did that on purpose just to get some attention.
