a mundane monday (alliterations are awesome)

watched tiger utterly dominate the world golf championships CA championship again this morning on tv. what else can you expect from the man.

did my usual (now daily) set of every single core stability exercise known to man continuing my efforts for the ever elusive spartan body. i'm not burning as easily anymore. i think its a sign to crank up the intensity. no pain no gain.

completed my management assignment and then headed off for training. was barraged by the usual interrogation of questions from mom about my golf game (not yesterday in particular) but the usual drilling of "media-like" interview questions. ALL THE WAY TO TRAINING. i narrowly avoided intense conflict several times with appropriately placed jokes and the saving grace of my shuffle setting on my iPod cartunes playlist. thank God for technology.

training today was primarily short game stuff. worked hard as usual and it was pretty productive overall. almost fell asleep waiting for georges mom to come. then worked out our transportational and logistical plans for tomorrow when we got back.

i think robbing the bank of england sounds easier.

anyway. class was ok. save for the usual barbs of humor here and there it was enjoyable as only alan chng can produce. a little dramatic when he and yusoph went at it which eventually wound up in yusoph being tossed out of the class like yesterdays trash.

in the moments that followed we all felt incredibly insecure about our own fates with "the alan" in such a volitile state. like nitroglycerin in an old water bottle he threatened to blow at any time.

but we were safe.

mom grabbed josh and i at around 930. gorged some hagen daz while watching shot pigeons limping around on hot coals on that wonderful excuse for television "ballroom bootcamp" i'd watch that over bloody "dance floor" anytime.

i've got a long day ahead and i need my rest.

forgive my boring entry today.

spread the lovin'
