She's No Cupcake


I did not hear the short story about Kristen’s 7 year old but as the story goes, it seems Master Gagne was innocently referring to female protuberances as “cupcakes”.   A very interesting observation from a 7-year-old male who may not realize what he might have more than a passing interest in as he enters the pubescent zone. 

As long as we are on the subject of confectionary delights, it might give us the impression that KSC has some “soft” spots.  I can answer with a resounding AYKM?  It is remarkable to me when we do finish a ‘road’ and Kristen tells us to back off and grab water, we for a moment think we can relax. Nothing could be further from the truth.  It seems like only milliseconds pass and she is urging: “Come on up”. 

Again today the focus was recovery and it felt as if I was exerting my willpower to try to bring my heart rate down as quickly as possible.  After banishing the word ‘rest’ from my vocabulary recovery seems very appealing like the girl with the curl.  The power of the mind has the capability of laser like focus and today had me zeroing in toggling back and forth between breathless and the hard zone.

We had a new member on Thursday and he of all things to wear had donned a “Grumpy” T-shirt from the 7 Dwarf collections.  No sooner did our host spy that did he get permanently named so. In fact Kristen didn’t even want to know his given name. I spoke to him in the locker room afterwards and he was lamenting his choice of wardrobe. I told him I was happy he passed on “Dopey”. He breathed a sigh of relief because he owns that one as well.  When you wear a target like that it’s as if you are wearing a sign that says, “Kick Me”.

How about QOTD (Question of the day) Today’s question comes from John McQueen the alter ego of Jack Briant and he writes:  How long does Kristen really think 5 seconds is? I can sing 99 bottles of beer on the wall faster than that.
