Tee Hee
Ah the joy of Neighborhoodies — you can print whatever you want on a t-shirt, sweatshirt, tank, or various and sundry other clothing item as well as on accessories like tote bags. My latest order just arrived last night. Let’s just say that I got something printed on an item or two of clothing that

It’s Gettin’ Hot in Here
Given the weather forecast today, I’m thrilled to be heading off to the beach! Stay cool, gang.

Stuff Galore!
It’s like Christmukkah around here! Last night I returned from the Mets game with Rachel and the Lovely Miss Katie to find many packages waiting for me.

A Sensitive Man
Construction Worker Still Hasn’t Given Up On True Love: No matter how busy he is, Barbierri always takes time to make sure the ladies know that he is interested, available, and ready for romance. . . . ‘Deep down, I’m just a hopeless romantic,’ he added. Calling every woman special in her own way, Barbierri

Panic
As I mentioned, I’ve worked myself into panic mode about the triathlon. I’m afraid I haven’t done enough biking and swimming, certainly haven’t even tried to bike 12 miles as fast as I can (the distance is no problem), and haven’t managed to do a "brick" workout (bike/run back to back) outside of the stationary
