So I have a friend who is currently pregnant. It seems that as of late random people have taken to touching her stomach. I think this a really crazy phenomenon. What makes people feel that it is ok to rub a random person’s stomach? I mean is it ok for me to go up to a person I don’t event know in the grocery store and touch their stomach???

Congrats to everyone that ran RFTC this past weekend. Runners in our group included BobG, Eric, Chris, Cara dMc and me, walkers included Allison and Kellee with team PROTECT SECOND BASE. Our t-shirt didn’t win – I came in last in our group in the run (Cara beat me by 00:00.06 seconds – yes 7/100ths) but overall the day was a huge success and a lot of fun. Of course – it isn’t about the race, the money, or even the insane amount of pink or witty slogans on all the t-shirts it is about the people.

For the first time on Friday I ventured out on my very first bus ride on the CAT bus. With gas prices being almost $4 a gallon, I thought I should give it a try. I ventured out of the house to get the bus at 7:40 am, crossed 70 and hopped on the bus…. Not so bad I thought to myself….until the ride home in the evening.

When we went to homecoming at Virginia Tech we saw these “cooler scooters” and immediately thought this was coolest tailgate idea ever – almost as cool as Yoda and when Cara asked “Hey Bob – when is that 60 seconds thing going to happen?” immediately after the team took the field. But I digress – someone got a DWI on one of these and now it is relegated to the realm of things I can’t do while intoxicated. The scary part of the article…

In various states, other modes of transportation in which driving is prohibited while intoxicated include lawnmowers, boats, bicycles, golf carts, wheelchairs and horses.

That’s right – it said WHEELCHAIRS. OUCH.

Once again the infamous group of “ne’er-do-wells” from the city of Raleigh invaded the land of the OBX and declared their domain a sovereign territory. Once freed from the common laws of man new rules were established to create a harmonious working order. Actually – that is a bunch of crap – we wrote a new list this year. As a result some of us have new nicknames but fortunately none of us have permanent scars.
