Speaking of Pirates

~ Guy Hall

So, the one and only time he did make his taxes available it turned out he didn’t pay any taxes. So, either he truly lost money that year or he found a way around paying. Neither plays well with his ego.

Instead of just demanding that Donald Trump release his taxes, Hillary supporters should focus on the one year of tax info we do have. A 1981 report from New Jersey gambling regulators, disclosed that in the late 1970s he reported negative income and paid no taxes, according to the Washington Post. Zero. So instead of…

Matey!

I feel that it is my obligation to warn you that today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Actor Robert Newton, who specialized in portraying pirates, especially Long John Silver in the 1950 Disney film Treasure Island, the 1954 Australian film Long John Silver, and as the title character in the 1952 film Blackbeard, the…

I Ran

~ Guy Hall

Yes, I did run. Farther and longer than I planned. And I’m hurting. Nothing serious. Just old age. My Achille’s tendons, ankles, and lower calf muscles are aching. However, its just a dull ache, not the intense pain of a few months ago. I figure my legs are just taking their sweet time in getting conditioned.

On a side note, I am getting frustrated with the various exercise apps. I would love to be able to post all my runs directly to my blog, but none of them allow for that functionality. If one of them did, I’d pay money for the premium account. Well, we all can’t have what we want, can we?

New Theme

I redecorated the place. What do you think?

Good Morning Internetopolis

~ Guy Hall

Yeah, yeah. I know. Corny. So what. I’ve been up since 5:30 and I’m not yet finished with my coffee. Mostly, though, I’m getting myself motivated for a morning run before I head out to pick up the table from my parents.

And what’s on the agenda for you all today?

Was AFK

~ Guy Hall

Spend the day with Tina at Peggy Sue’s Cafe, and then at my Parental Unit’s moving sale in Grantsburg. It was a fun day all around. My parents made out like bandits. I bought their old Dining Room table and it’s 6 chairs. Plus a bunch of other stuff Tina liked. And at the end of it all they bought us a pizza!

Yes, a good day.

Tomorrow? Well, that’s a different story. I have to go pick up the table and chairs. I have to get school work done. And I want to go on a run.

Paying My Bill

~ Guy Hall

Paid one-third of my bill for the U of M. They ain’t cheap. But at the moment I’m not signed up with any program, I’m just taking one class. It’s intro to psychology, so I’m hoping a good grade will allow me to be admitted into the psychology program. It’s not what I want to get my BA in, but it will allow me to get financing. Once I get enough credits I’ll transfer to the program I really want.

Unfortunately, until I find out if I can enroll in any program I’m paying my own tuition – no school loans for me yet.

Does anyone want to loan me $1300?

Running!

~ Guy Hall

Okay people, I’m going running. Try not to wreck the place while I’m gone.

Update: So, my plan had been to run 45 minutes. However, my legs were screaming at me most of the way. As a result, I decided to cut is short. Yet, I still managed 3 miles. In 36 minutes. Not bad.I had a hunch my heart rate was not quite as high as the previous two runs, and I was right. Oh, it still got high, and the average was a bit higher than the other two, but I had some extended periods of lower heart rates than the previous two runs.

I had a hunch, though, that  my heart rate was not quite as high as the previous two runs, and I was right. The average was a bit higher than the other two, but I had some extended periods of lower heart rates than the previous two runs. And I didn’t hit a top heart rate over 170. Close, 169. But, I’d say my hunch was correct.

Point Man About Insurance

If you want a simple example of how billing is done for medical visits read the post below by Richard Mayhew.

By this point in the soccer season, something usually hurts. Last night, I was running a line on a bad field and tweaked my ankle. Thankfully I did not roll it, but I jammed it on a divot. I iced it last night. I’m keeping it elevated and compressed today. And once I’m done…
