Right, Left, Right, Left. There was an error in this gadget. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Let's just say I lost again this week. The sad litany of beverages consumed during the Margarito-Cotto fight (and holy crap what a fight! Rendered Sunday's 6-miler an unequivocal disaster. Let's just move on. The theme song for this week's extended trudge through the park was "Aqualung." At least I did it. I'm still on schedule. This week's gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. Mark "Crazy Legs" Matuska.

I'd like to thank everyone who's been reading this and following my little story. It's been a lot of fun to write, and so I hope it's been fun to read.

Don't Stop Believin': December 2008

http://justasmalltownboy.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Right, Left, Right, Left. There was an error in this gadget. Saturday, December 13, 2008. Harlem and the Upper East. Harlem is where I live. But it's not mine. I once fed some tadpoles I'd gathered to a pet turtle I'd purchased from a local pet store during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle rage; it died, as did the tadpoles, in different fashions. Its name was Botticelli. I didn't name the tadpoles. Not now. Goddammit, not now. There would be no more stretching. With that magical motivator, I turned into ...

Don't Stop Believin': November 2008

http://justasmalltownboy.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Right, Left, Right, Left. There was an error in this gadget. Sunday, November 30, 2008. As a junior high school baseball player, unable to master the vagaries of the slow roller. As a senior high school wrestler, beaten for the second time at the district meet by a guy that was just a little bit better. Or a little less afflicted by a bum shoulder. Schreiber, of Cuyahoga Heights. He didn't even go to State. And weary of recurring injury. Other than the at the end of every time I rewatch Major League.

Right, Left, Right, Left. There was an error in this gadget. Sunday, July 25, 2010. If only I could learn to use a comma appropriately! Anyway, the runs have begun. I did Week 1 twice, a decision of necessity, as I'm in brutally incapable shape. We're only going to chart the past week, though, as in my old age my long term memory is fading. Not to fear, dear readers. We'll get there, individually, but as a group. 16-Week Marathon Training Schedule. Sunday: 4 miles, 1 beer. Monday: Boxing, 1 beer.

Right, Left, Right, Left. There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, September 2, 2010. Thank you very much-o, Mr. Roboto. Hal struck me as a Master. He was not a dancer or a showman. But he nailed Bruce at every inflection point, every breath, every soulful voice crack. I considered retirement for a short while. And then I decided to kick some ass. Just like he'd done with The Boss, and doing so as if he were playing a tape of the the recording from Slippery When Wet. How did Hal respond? Now it was c...

Right, Left, Right, Left. There was an error in this gadget. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Over the short history of this blog, I've rarely dealt with any issues of social importance. This is probably a result of my general "cuss. care? So we come to the "Ground Zero Mosque" and "Ground Zero" itself, and I find myself compelled to join the fracas. 3) It may or may not be funded by "terrorists," whatever those are.
