PULL EMERGENCY STOP CORD IF YOU FEEL ANY DISCOMFORT The things you look at and read and contemplate while on a treadmill. Shit like that. Why, hell’s bells I usually feel “discomfort” by just walking up and looking at the machine but it would seem a little silly to pull the cord before you even turn the damn thing on. But still…the things you

I have seen these marshes a thousand times, yet each time they're new. It's wrong to call them benign. You could just as well call them cruel and senseless, they are all of those things, but the reality of them overwhelms halfway conceptions. -Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a big bag of tricks. Sometimes I reach in an pull out one to use if the need arises, like say, when there’s a certain boy in my life who says he hates science and won’t do his homework. And then sometimes I reach into my bag and dig around for one that lets me deal effectively with the drunk, the angry, the exceedingly violent, the sociopath,

To be in a place where insanity is the norm and then stepping out into the world where people have no idea about what's going on in there. My wife works in a bank and those rare times when she comes to see me at work and there's something crazy going on she just can't believe it. Heh, that's wh

Usually there’s a little adjustment period when you leave, a little quiet ritual you do with your mind. Like…look around at the trees and blue sky and the everyday, ordinary world. It’s always such a contrast to the steel and concrete of the unnatural artificial world you’ve just left. At the grocery store you stop at on the way home (because

My wife is thin (around 95 to 100 lbs. all her life) and I...well, I [I]am not[/I]. But do to some recent warnings I am trying to turn that around! I've already dropped around thirty pounds by watching what I eat, quit drinking, and working out EVERY SINGLE DAY by doing a four mph and 4 degrees of incline walk for 2 miles and then a good half mile RUN on the treadmill. Heh, I can't tell you how much better I feel! I'm even thinking about going skydiving in the spring when I get down below the re
