PLANNING TO IGNORE THE FACTS - New York Post

Weekend July 10 - July 13, 2008

It was a beautiful weekend in Milwaukee--ideal for being outside. I went to Bastille Days for a few hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. On Thursday, I went to walk the "Storm the Bastille" 5k. Of course a bunch of young, skinny college guys took all the top places. I wish my foot was feeling better so I could have been out there competing. On Friday night, I met up with some Milwaukee and Door County friends on the street and we walked around to the different stages to watch the entertainment, eat and have few beers. I went home early Friday because Doug and Jenny were coming down on Saturday to go to the fest. Doug and Jenny arrive around 3:30-ish. We headed right over to Bastille Days, grabbed a few beers and walked around and around. Eventually we ran into some of their friends from Luther Manor and we sat with them. We then watched the Competitive Eating Contest. Jimmy John's staff made sandwiches while a bunch of guys ate them. If the guys could eat faster than the Jimmy John's staff could make them, they won. Ultimately, Jimmy John's was too fast and the eaters began throwing free sandwiches to the crowd. Naturally a frenzy ensued. The children crowded the stage for free sandwiches as well as several greedy adults. No adult should deprive a child of a meal, especially if the child is underprivelged and the adult is fat. One lady really got my goat and I wanted to take here sandwich away and give it one of the kids, kind of like they do at the baseball game when and adult pushes the children aside to get a ball. After that, we met my friends from work--Jim, Rachel and Doug--and had dinner at Flannery's. After that, the party broke up and we went and sat with the people from Luther Manor again. I didn't do much Sunday except go for a bike ride and go to Flannery's for dinner, where I again saw the people from the manor. My foot is all swollen again so I have to take it easy. I go to the podiatrist tomorrow. I'm really fed up with the foot situation now that it's been a year since it started and the pain is worse than ever. Could surgery for my plantar fasciitis be in the future?

And here's my nephew Nathan solving Rubik's Cube ...
