We had a great time at Cape Ann Lanes and raised money for The Open Door Pantry in the meantime! I love it when everyone wins!

Here’s my version of how it went down-
Great Time- Great People- Great Cause

Thanks go to Cathy for setting it all up and all who participated including POCA and Crystal who provided the video stream.

My groin is freaking killing!

By my calculations the score was GMG 5,767,000 to CAO 220 (or something like that)

and here is Cathy Tarr’s version-

Ditto the thanks to all the bowlers, PoCA and Crystal and photographers, and Cape Ann Lanes for having us. It was a blast!

$210.00 plus 3 shopping bags of groceries for the Food Pantry.

Team GMG knocked down 1579 pins in 21 strings.

Team CAO took out 1758 pins in 23 strings.

Team GMG Average: 75.19

Team CAO Average: 76.43 (And we looked good, too!)

Aired schedule

A need to write is tickleing my fingertips since yesterday I believe – probably due to a sustained amount of reading and just one week of relaxing half-vacation. For the moment I`ll stick to general thoughts issued this morning on a bit of a self-analysing trend. The rest – the actual “literature” that corners me at times and manifests its need to be spread on a piece of paper – will of course come later, if time allows me to give the new idea a decent text-like form that is comprehensible to others (as the comprehension part is rather important since I can`t go on forever saying that it makes sense in my head).

Now, to cut the string of meta-text analysis short, and to get to the actual text – here`s what I`ve been thinking – since it is about myself mostly, of course it might be rather dull for others, and of course, viewer discretion is advised – it might be a public blog but it still holds my thoughts on it so if not gentle, than people be reasonable since I grant you the priviledge of never judging, I expect at least half of the same esteem in return.

I come to realise today how rather unreasonable I`ve been with myself lately (or always – that I still have yet to discover) in terms of managing a resource that I really administrate poorly – and it is a shame that I do, since the resource is a rather one - No, unfortunately I did not stumble upon an unknown raw materials deposit, and no I am not administrating my goldmine - but my time.  And, for the sake of the above mentioned argument – boy, do I suck at it!  As I spend alot of time on station peers, I started noticing the clocks and how slow they go – and with that I came to realise that I am burning out energy on a much too dinamic rate, risking a collapse due to poor time management. The problem is that either I go too fast or too slow with the planning – normaly I come up with this absurdly busy schedule that encompasses tasks that are separated only by a few minutes – while I forget to add at least 15 minutes for a shower or a brunch and I find myself at the and of the week famished, tired and somewhat dirty without realising that I have myself to blame for the lack of a decent planning skill. There is another topic linked to that – and that is – should I or should I not cave in to the inner probably normal feminine endeavour of spending hours for the morning/evening little pleasures – the truce with myself was that as soon as I have my life slightly ordered, I will de-prioritise some of the tasks in favour of some relaxation time (hopefully that will come soon as I start to run on empty). The other extreme I tend to fall into, usually when I realise I am herassing myself with extreme tireing schedules, is to go too slow – for example, this morning I realised I have two new writing projects that I haven`t started correctly yet, so I decided to grant them a little time – 1 year!! And then it hit me – I can be so indulgend with things I should maybe start and so intransigent with me… giving me next to no time to breathe… This needs to change, and if anyone has a special recipy to apply – other than 3 blackberries and an alarm meowing cat – that do nothing other than serve as environments for creating a busy schedule and not sticking to it – please feel free to express yourselves.

A bunch of people guessed that Big Lar finished the Good Morning Gloucester Passports Rogue Burger Challenge but not a single person guessed the lone other winner.  Watch the video to find out who else took home the gold.

Finishing off your plate gets you a win but there’s a race for second-

But Wait- Do you think anyone else finishes out of the other 5 competitors?  Find out in more video’s coming this afternoon.

Last night I entered intense negotiations with the owners of a very popular establishment for the next challenge.  Details will be forthcoming but you can be assured that it is going to be wild and crazy.

Videos starting at 8AM with the conclusions of the GMG Passports Rogue Burger Challenge.
