Mike's News and Tips

10. The Boston Celtics have been my NBA team since the 60's. Yes, the 1960's. But...with Carmelo Anthony now a NY Knick I have a new second fav team. As an 18 year old frosh he won the NCAA title for Syracuse, now he could win a championship for NY. this is exciting!
9. The Ironman Kona lottery is closing soon. Pay your money ($40 for a chance at an entry-makes Lotto look like a bargain) and maybe your name will get drawn. Then all you have to do is finish at least a 1/2 IM before Kona (paying $225 or more for the entry), pay for the trip to Hawaii, and the entry fee ($650). A bargain.
8. The first NY State Snowshoe Championship is March 5 at Camp Gorham in the Adirondacks. Course designed and timed by Fleet Feet Sports and YellowJacket Racing of Rochester NY.
7. Do not take your sailing vessel or yacht in the seas off the coast of Somalia! This is a bad idea. Stay in the FingerLakes, as of now it is safe. Wait for summer though.
6. IMHO any ship in the waters infested by Somalian pirates should be fully armed and use deadly force immediately.
5. The CEO of Kodak just got named to a task force on jobs by President Obama! This should be part of a stand-up comedy routine, but unfortunately it's true. I don't know where to begin on the lunacy of this.
4. Losing weight is difficult. My muffin top is being stubborn.
3. I finally got on the bike this week. 12 miles. Whippee!
2. If you become a politician do not take off your shirt and post on Craig's List, do not have tickle fights with co-workers, do not hire prostitutes, do not steal our money.
1. This is the "Year of Running Well".
