Shhh....be very very quiet. I'm trying to sneak back on board on little cat feet....so softly that I don't notice that I'm back, so that I don't go getting all agro and hurt myself again....damselfly wrote: Glen B - 8,126 Welcome back to the boat!! We've missed you!
Don't worry, Glen with one N, I didn't notice you either, so your secret is safe from me. But had I noticed you, I would've surely welcomed you back to the galley, and again warned about the importance of building up slowly and resting often...

I figure if I'm sneaky I can fool myself into being reasonable about my meters, but
SQUIRREL!

Hmm...that would be the advice that I so foolishly ignored, right? So for once Moose got it right and Squirrel paid the price!Izzzmeister wrote: Don't worry, Glen with one N, I didn't notice you either, so your secret is safe from me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Missing a PB, and having 35 people burn to death, have so much in common.TMike wrote:Crash and Burn -- Tried to beat my 10k record but flubbed it when trying to remove gloves for a better grip.

I was a distraught broken man at the time of making that post. I had no other recourse than to try and drown myself in a pool of pity here at Team Timbuktoo. As I now see there will be no pity for this beaten man, no compassion in the arms of Timbuktoo. Woe, unto me, a miserable, broken man.Izzzmeister wrote: Yeah, I know what you mean.

I, being so much more compassionate, only compare my missing a PB due to being slow as molasses to the Great Boston Molasses Flood, where only 21 people met a sticky but sweet end.

(Now that I've finished flaunting my moral superiority, I will tell you that there's always next week to hit a PB, as long as it stays above 20 degrees... And, there are a bunch of other distances to set PBs in.)
Broken Man
A man left beaten, in utter despair,
would you lend a hand if you were there?
Stripped of dignity and left to die,
would you empathize, or pass him by?
Help him, my friend, please come to his aid,
or is life too hectic with plans you've made?
Most likely he deserved it anyway,
Is that your excuse; is that what you'll say?
What harm could it do to get involved?
To help a poor soul become resolved.
Be a good neighbor as Jesus said,
Wrap him with bandages, put oil on his head.

I would have gone with the London Beer Flood of 1814. Over 323,000 gallons of beer unexpectedly evacuated the vats of the Meux Brewing Company located in a London slum. The sudsy tsunami struck two neighboring houses leaving little to salvage. Eight people drowned in basements of adjacent homes and one other died after being trapped under debris.Izzzmeister wrote:Yeah, I know what you mean.

So French cows go Meux, and so do English beer drinkers? How do you drown your troubles after a loved one dies that way?Quatroux wrote:I would have gone with the London Beer Flood of 1814.

I wouldn't really liken this to missing a PB on the rower. It sounds more like my first year in college - after which I wasn't invited back for a second.
