Long week…
I don’t know ’bout you, but somehow this week seems to be dragging along slowly to me. Last night, I turned in early at about 9:30 as I was feeling a bit jaded. Didn’t do much surfing at all on the net. Natty and MBJr were up here for a while. MBJr was entertaining himself watching my dogs, cartoons and jumping in the bed etc….what can I say, he is a male child. I am happy that he seemed so much at home.
Today is Thursday September 30th, that bold is for Mad Bull. You see, while I was dropping him to the airport yesterday, we were wondering about the date. I told him it was September 29th. He was adamant it was the 30th….saying, “You waan bet?” He sounded so sure that I did not bother to take it on…. (there have been times in the past where we have bet each other over trivial stuff and I have lost on some occasions, he on others.) Anyway, I should have bet now that I know… I wonder what he was going to wager? A return ticket to Cayman perhaps? Anyway, is not a big deal my yute, the month ends today.
It has been a while since I checked the stuff at Yahoo Oddly Enough. I found a little article that interested me. Now, we were treated to some pretty good athletics from Athens in August. In particular, the event that had me most hyped though its over so quickly, is the men’s 100 metre sprint. Now this article reports that it is possible that in the future, women may be clocking faster times in the 100 metre sprint than men! 
I wonder what Shaun Crawford, Justin Gatlin or Asafa Powell will have to say about that? Do you believe it?
According to this Gleaner article we are in for some unstable weather soon. Right now it is bright and sunny. But then again, yesterday afternoon, we had a clouburst and in an hour or so, the sun was shining again. Nevertheless, if it is rain, not a real problem (though folks living in areas prone to landslides and flooding may not welcome more water after Ivan), as long as it is not another hurricane, dat cool wid me. Join me in sending up a few prayers to the Big Guy for a speedy return of water and electricity to my bredrins in Cayman. Actually, I spoke with Piano Bert’s daughter yesterday and she informed me that their water has returned. So, there’s hope for the Bull. Just heng on likke more rude bwoy, everyting soon kriss….you waan bet on it!? 
Have a good day people.
September 30th, 2004 at 8:49 am I don’t think the 100m times will pass the men’s. Not ego or anything like that just plain old gut feeling. Hope Cayman gets back to normal soon. Horrible when you get accustomed to something and it just gets ripped away.
September 30th, 2004 at 12:38 pm Well, with all the advancements in sports science as of late, I wouldn’t be too surprised at all if that were to happen. After all, physiologically, women are equal to men in the lower body department…it’s just that we have a stronger torso, so it does stand to reason that with a strong lower body and a torso that’s optimally strong enough, women could soon outdo the men in the 100M’s!! But, hey, my claim to fame is not physiology…I’m a computer doctor after all! {arf,arf}
September 30th, 2004 at 2:46 pm Hmmm….the latest post on his blog is dated 9/29 and he says he just got back from Jamaica. So guess you were right.
September 30th, 2004 at 6:12 pm Speaking as a woman (abeit one who is not even slightly interested in running except if a Jamaican or Canadian is running - in that order too.) I think that women may be able to beat the mens times eventually. WE are actually way stronger than we have been given credit for in the past. Praying for water in Cayman and not too much in Jamaica and electricity for all!
September 30th, 2004 at 9:29 pm If they came up with another female equivalent of Flo Jo, perhaps the women could beat the men. We are living in times where jus about anyting can gwaan. Remember that muscle that Flo Jo used to have in her upper thigh? I can’t remember seeing it on any male athlete!
October 2nd, 2004 at 11:44 pm a slow week?? Not here… it has gone quickly. Enjoy your weekend (that is already half over!!) who speeded up the clocks?
