So who cares that I work two jobs and can’t find time to register my car or get the oil changed or wash my clothes, BAHH! those are small fiddle sticks!

I currently have to find time in my schedule to make it into the gym 2-4 times a week so that I can

• A) get back into the shape I use to be in and
• B) take advantage of my free membership and not feel any guilt for letting it all go to waste

Cool Signs VI where I work does a lot of business with, well, the businesses on on St. Thomas and one of our clients is Xtreme Fitness over by the movie theater. I, as proud employee of CS get free membership to Xtreme in exchange for prompt work on Xtreme Fitness signs and such.

Anyway - my first visit to the house of pain was last evening in a last minute completely desperate attempt not to harm myself on the upcoming 11th annual 8 tuff miles race (its this Saturday). While I am in pretty decent shape I have not been running alot recently and the elevation climb (and drop) of this race is somewhat hardcore. I’ll be attending the gym to run at least once more and then from there its a wish and a prayer that I come through without any lasting shortcomings. Oh and if the threat of personally injury was not enough of a worry I have made a small wager with a fellow coworker at Oceana; the loser buys the winner a bottle of Moet Champagne from our good friend Tom at Epernay Bistro & Wine Bar.

So in closing if you want to cheer me on along the road on Saturday don’t bother calling out my name (there’s got to be more than a couple Roberts in the race) instead, just call out

MOET! MOET! MOET!
