Gimme A Break

My cousin came to visit this morning but it definitely wasn’t to see me. The guy doesn’t usually show up unless he wants something from me :lol:.

He’s the notorious diehard football fanatic in the family and he wanted to borrow my computer to watch Carlsberg web-tv. His laptop has gone to the repair shop so he’s at loose ends.

Carlsberg has apparently launched its own web tv for football fans to keep up with the football action in the world. If you want to join them, just click yourself over to www.partofthegame.tv. Enjoy!

Believe it or not, I’ve got my own MP3 player. So far, the only place it’s been is to the gym with me .

I only listen to it if the volume of the gym TV is turned too low for me to hear what’s going on. Otherwise, I’d be watching the news.

Ever since the gym manager got fired, things are so disorganized. Like some of the TVs and air-conditioners are sometimes not on, and we have to run around looking for the switches ourselves.

Anyways, I was thinking I might download some free audio books to listen to. I’m not sure if it’ll work on my MP3 player but it’d be a nice change to listening to the head-banging music my kids have loaded in for me .

Not that I don’t appreciate what they’ve done but sometimes I need a little peace and quiet, ya know.

• don’t read, listen to these books
• a nice, low-key day
• role model of a son
• the long crawl
• stress-free day

The other day, I stopped to watch the Olympics men’s swimming event and was impressed by how Michael Phelps managed to ace it in such easy-going strokes.

Today I read he’s the “winningest” (does such a word even exist?) Olympic athlete winning his 11th gold medal, five of which are in the five Olympics events he’s competed in so far.

Apparently he’s pretty nonchalant about his historical wins too. Wow, what a guy. And of course, I’m constantly amazed at how competition swimmers glide so effortlessly across the water. That one gets me every time!
