I like my chances

Today it took me eight hours to do 5 hours of work. And I still didnt get everything done that I needed to get done. Uhgg. It seems as though the doldroms are creeping up on me. Even with Ronnie's assurance that it was snowing at snoqualmie pass, I was still at a standstill. I didnt drink 5 cups of coffee to bring me out of it and thats a good thing. I got schooled at table tennis yesterday. Cricket whipped my ass two games to none. Of course I had a bbq pork from Peco's Pit that I ate in sub-five minutes sitting in my stomach. But in no way am I using that as an excuse. I also didnt have my own blade. I will have to visit Paddle Palace this week and get some new rubber. I think I am going to get a more defensive rubber to allow for the other player to make his mistake before I jam the ball down their throat. They have tournaments every month its seems and I plan on getting in on that action. You can burn approximately 650 calories an hour playing moderate table tennis, and by no means is my playing moderate. I get busy.

Hey Craigerific, this Meredith Wiltse. Dude I'm right there with ya.
Had to fight my way out of bed and to work. Stared for hours at my computer screen. This Sucks. I need some sun and or skiing.

Froze my ass off on Sunday's WoW ride.
Luckily I dressed correctly. Had a good ride in spite of it all.
Give me a shout. m.wiltse@centurytel.com, meredith@scharp.org, 253 851-7151 or 206 667-2857. I'm still at Fred Hutch, work on SLU, across from Siam. I need to ride, and sometime I need a friendly kick in the butt.
Hang in there.

Pingpong is huge at my work. We have a table in the kitchen. We're into the semi-finals of our historic SCHARP annual ping pong tournament.
I think this is the 7th year.
My coworker, George is the defending Champ. Many of our staff are from China, and they are serious about their ping pong. Come by and watch the final or play with some of the locals.
1616 Eastlake, 4th floor, ask for me.

Hey I always have a hard time riding this time of year and I need to ride, and sometime I need a friendly kick in the butt.
Hang in there.

This blog is on hold on the time-I am out for good. Be careful with the doors you open my friend, for they can be very misleading.
