Rev3 Knoxville & the JumboTron

Image
Rev3 put on a good show at Knoxville Olympic Distance Triathlon May 9th (.9 mile swim, 25.8 mile ride, 6.2 mile run). I drove down Saturday and got there just before packet pickup and the transition area closed. Having visited the Worlds Fair way back when I immediately recognized the park downtown, very nice place. Liked having all the personalization like your name on your race number and your transition spot. Race morning I stayed in the room till the last minute so as to not be cold hanging around for the start. Got my stuff set, put on the wetsuit and still had to wait a long time for the last wave to go. The swim was 400 meters or so back into the current in the Tennessee River, take a right turn around a large buoy then a straight shot to the dock at the end. All went smooth till the end where I tried to pull myself out of the water without any steps. A volunteer grabbed my arm and pulled me straight up onto the dock. It was like the hand of God reaching down. Needless...

Madame Blueberry & Pioneer Days

Image
I've met a character like Madame Blueberry from Veggie Tales fame, and I believe I’m looking at him in the mirror.  “ Though her butlers (portrayed by Bob and Larry) attend to her every whim, they find themselves unable to lift Blueberry out of her ever-present doldrums. The only happiness she seems to have comes from gazing at photographs of her neighbor's possessions".    The topic of Madame Blueberry came up this past weekend when we attended the evening Pioneer Days showcases at Fowler Park.  Somehow seeing the re-creation of a much simpler life convicted me of wanting too much.  Having recently purchased a much newer SUV and to top it off a nearly new mountain bike I am the guilty party.  All this before Christmas, do I feel convicted, well yes. One of my goals for 2014 was to learn and put into effect the word Guilelessness.  “The quality or state of being as simple and sincere”.  Seems I have not succeed well.  While I...

Cracked Barrel, Addams Family Style

Image
Arrived at a rather desolate version of this well known eating establishment while traveling back to Indiana.  The place was rather empty for a   Saturday night.  Most of the employees sitting on the back step were hanging out.  Might have been Uncle Fester’s kin.  An episode of Courage the cowardly dog could have been filmed here.  Why yes something creepy was afoot. Once inside and walking up to the “greeting station” was a family that looked like have been waiting till their  tongues were hanging impatiently staring for someone to let them in.  We joined in behind like the unsuspecting fools we were. Then, appearing out of nowhere was a man the likes of Lurch from the Addams Family, yet a 90 year old version with one foot on deaths door.  No words were spoken, not even “you rang”.  I’ve seen more welcoming faces on a bottle of arsenic.  Slowly he guided us to a table like this was our last meal. Our waitress soon arrived handing...
