The play is a performance!





Funny how you can be taken a back by random stuff.







I had just flicked on the tele it was on the CBC channel which was broadcasting a trialthalon held in Seoul.







Not my cup of tea but the camera happened to be focused on the lead runner and it kept me interested.







I had to wonder what it must be like to be an attractive, incredibly fit young woman running in front of millions world wide and to be wearing virtually nothing on your body.







This womans sunglasses had more mass than her body suit!







Don't get me wrong I am all for lithe young women baring as much as possible and I am not suggesting that Miss Moffat is at all embarassed. I just wonder if she ever thinks about the 50 something guys , maybe girls, who watch her running and can barely control their drooling.






















Enough of the debased me.







So I was compelled to watch this amazing female form.



The end of the race was near when I tuned in and Moffat had a very good lead. When it came down to last 3 kms the two women lurking behind her pulled up.


Of course I remember only a few names which matters not since this isn't a sports column.


What was a lone Aussie in the lead was now a trio of women.


The chilean woman kept trading first place with Moffat, the (also very pretty) woman in third was in close to the other two looking for the energy and right moment to make a sprint for the first place spot.




At 1.5kms left the front pack of three very determined women were fighting hard. The Chilean and the Aussie were both looking for those extra bursts of energy not only to make first. No they had to block the woman in third who was known to sprint for the finish.


The two women in front could not keep it up and as they hit the carpet they left a space for the spinter to do her stuff.

I was about to witness an incredible feat that seemingly was set into motion by the woman in third making a break on the outside. As she pulled out to pass the two lead runners a form was seen coming into frame on the inside. As the runner in third was launching into a dash for the finish a Swiss runner came from way back and pretty much blazed past the three lead runners and made a no contest win.
The point here is that I am not a sports person but it seems if I watch for a while I see the essence of art in the pursuit of a win. I mean beyond the obvious "arty" sports. Football and Hockey both thrill me when the "play" becomes "poetry in motion".
The play is a performance!

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

So I have safely arived in Ft Mac with few mishaps except navigating Edmonton which didn't go well because of the amount of road construction enroute. Beside that and a crappy burger for lunch things went smooth on the drive and I pulled into the parking lot right on time. Still a few things are not in place the major one being my financing. It seems that I owe the Government a chunk of cash and they are going to extract it from my student loan. This fact I missed when debating the viability of this venture. I had concluded that I would have to get a P/T job but my loan was going to take care of my school expenses. I have a shortfall of exactly $2129.58! YIKES! To add to the mix we have my Daughter doing her vows on the 18th of this month, I wonder if it can be afforded. I planned on getting new tires after I was sure of my money situation and at this time it looks as though I won't be there or won't be here. If I can't pay all of my rent then I will have to pack it in

On the road in India

Oh I have been watching nothing on the news lately. Not watching cable means I tend to become news deficient meaning that I don't cruise The Huffington Post as much as I used to because even my time on the internet has been parred down. But Today I caught the evening news and saw a report on the reaction to Prime minister Harper and his entourage having armoured vehicles shipped to India to use while in that country. How were they shipped? By C17 Transport. The cost is said to be $37,000 an hour to run one of these babies. I think it's probably cheaper to ship the three vehicles by sea but would take a much longer time and the crew and maintenance etc for the C17 would still be a cost but at least the PM wouldn't be using the resources of the Canadian public coffers. It is appalling to watch opposition parties run to the scrum and try to devour a frivolous point all of them squawking like Fort Mac Ravens over a Big Mac package lying on the roadside. Sure there is

So what is your big idea?

This was posted a while back and on my stats page it is always the most read.  This is becoming an exercise in learning what my stats counter is counting. Anyway I haven't read this post in some time and found it OK. Again an apology to those who have read it. I do want to see if the stat counter increases the page views of this post. Cheers Gord I feel very bad. I have not been posting and it weighs heavy in my heart. This is not because I am in the throes of LOVE or because I have a high profile job that takes up all of my time. No, this is the result of CABLE TV The hundreds of channels that I have at my disposal has become a millstone around my neck This brings me to a topic which I have tried to put down in print before but have found it too large a topic for this blogger. It is really two things which are related. One is the constant confusion in choice. By our western standards "choice" is at the top of our list of things that
