Clash-es

I understand that one of the dangers of this blogging business, is that much like other social media, there is a tendency to give away personal information. Oh well.

I use an elliptical machine regularly, up to 6 times a week, less in summer. My routine is a 40 minute session on " fat burner" program. Don't you love the name,fat burner, just meant for suckers like me. The FB program is set to no addditional resistance and angle. I ride ( elliptic ? ) for three minutes ( M3 ) jump off the machine and do a set of push-ups, M3 and jump off and do curls w/ free weights... M3 / standing press ups, M3 /lat for arms, M3 / punches , M3 / wrist exersize, M3 /rowing w/resistance bands, M3  / leg extensions w/ resistance bands, M3 arm side raises w/ resistance bands, M3 /  - arm and leg extensions , M3 / diagonal arm swing, M3 / leg raises. Cool down.
If you had asked me fifteen years ago, I would have replied " not enough " cardio or sweat. Well, the bottom line, I can do the above routine. If I walk or jog/walk I'll need to rest my knees every third day at least. My physio guy and the ortho surgeon emphasized " keep the knee moving, when it hurts stop and rest and ice. " Ta Da - I found a way to obey their advice.

While I elliptic ( this is now a verb ) I watch DVDs. My current DVD is " Clash of the Titans " involving the hero, Perseus, the babe, Io and the gods Zeus and Hades. Some of my best lines come from this movie, as in " I'm tired of being grateful for scraps ".

My favs seem to be " the Missouri Breaks ", "the Good Shepherd ", ........................

" Clash " has Liam Neeson as Zeus ( and Hades ? ). There are giant scorpions, Djinn, the kraken, pegasus, the 3 fates and brave warriors. Perseus doesn't get the princess, Andromeda but he does get Io, who is immortal or close to it, and a babe.
M says,  " Clash of ... " is right up my alley - swords, killing , noise - its rough when they got you figured out.

I called the trailer park on Fri afternoon and SURPRISE ! talked to our sales lady who was sitting w/ the " new " owners. Saleslady said " consider it sold ".
In the movie " Big Trouble in Little China " w/ Kurt Russell as " Jack Burton ", almost hero, there's a monologue, in which, Jack says " When an 8 ft tall monster puts the back of your favourite head up against a bar room wall and says ' Have you paid your dues ? '. Remember what Jack Burton always says 'Have you paid you dues , Jack . You bet, the cheque is in the mail."
 Well, the cheque isn't in the mail ----it comes in 15 days - we'll celebrate then.
