A Little Bit of Life

Have you ever wanted to kill someone?  No, really - lay your hands on their throat and squeeeeeeeze?    And I have some serious guns now, folks, both bis and tris.  But I digress.

Still training,  after a fantastic weekend in Portland where we watched the dragon boat races,

The Civil Serpents!  Hilarious!

I have never had so much fun as a SPECTATOR!  Truly, the park was full of energy with everyone cheering on their favorite teams - it was awesome!

Being sure to eat like a vegetarian (which was made easy by the first night at a brazilian steakhouse - ugh), I thought I had dialed in to my  nutrient heaven, even as we watched the rose parade in Portland, our first.

Poo Doo Donuts, baby.

Sure, you're with the band.

It was Fleet Week, and the Navy had some incredibly lame parade entries.  I mean those boys (and yes there were no women in their ranks) had no idea what a formation was or could be.

 I had some great pictures of the floats, and I have no idea where they are now.  Thanks, Cloud.

We've been in Oregon five years, and this was our first rose festival trip - and it was so, so worth it.  Yes, being back in a city was kind of disgusting, especially under the bridges  but the waterfront was so fantastic.  I miss a big town.

Training wise -  big rows with a 40 pounder, bicep curls and tricep kickbacks with less, and new shoulder work with even less.  I felt seriously lame.

You thought I was going to tie this in with the opening line, didn't you?
