What To Do About HAVING A COMPETITIVE NATURE

August 27, 2010 By Terry Barga 1 Comment

I can file this under things I thought I would never be, especially after my 20’s! I mean, who has time to be competitive at my age? I’ll tell you! Kyla & Jennifer! That’s who. These ladies both meek and timid at first glance, will compete with the best of them. Or even the sub-par like myself. They have become my workout buddies because they know I can’t say no. Just yesterday I was asked to go run 8 miles in the summer heat. I said yes, even given the fact that I haven’t run more than 4 miles all summer.

I have no gauge for drawing the imaginary line in the sand and saying no to competition. I get this itch, this itch… it drives me to do things I don’t really want to do, or can do, for that matter. Like running 8 miles in the blistering heat, I mean who does that? Me, because I was asked… by a girl.

What’s more shocking than doing things that I don’t want to do or can’t do, (because that’s shocking), is that I don’t ever remember being like this in my early years. I never really got into sports growing up, I mean, I played them, I just never really “owned” them. Of course now I want to “own” every sport out there! If only there was a way for a 30 year old man to walk onto an NFL team…. a man can dream! I get so competitive I can hardly sit still sometimes. I actually feel like I am missing out on something when someone tells me there is a race this weekend, or let’s play a pick up game of basketball, or missing a golf outing kills me… even though I haven’t played in 2 years.

I find myself competitive at everything even the things that I’m not good at. I know! Imagine me not good at something!! Crazy! So I have no idea what’s going on with this “problem”. I am open to suggestions, no really… Help Me!! I am running out of money going to these events! New Orleans, here we come!! But after South Carolina…

What To Do About About CALLING CERTAIN TYPES OF SPATULAS, SPATULAS

February 4, 2011 By Tim Mallon 2 Comments

It just isn’t right! It is so confusing! Trying to differentiate between different spatulas can be quite the challenge. “Hand me a spatula, no, not that one, the scrapey one.” “Scrapey one?” “Yeah, the one that you use to scrape the sides of the bowl.” “Oh you mean the silicone one.” “What is silicone?” Why?…
