President Bush and First Lady Laura hosted the first ever Presidential Fitness Challenge today in Washington. The President and White House staff participated in a three-mile run, while Laura joined the mile walk. Bush finished 26th with a personal best time of 20:29. After finishing the race, the President said he 'felt great.' Tomorrow, the Presidential fitness weekend will continue with another game of tee ball at the White House. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

The only difference between those of us who wear this label now,
and those who are among us now, and see what we see, but will wait to wear it later, is vision.

[GretchenEE]

Howdy, neighbor. Good for you, with the treadmill. I wish you success.

[GretchenEE]

It's great to hear from you! My best wishes to you in all the employment and health issues beforeo you and hubby.

I didn't notice the flag on his watch till you pointed it out, but I did catch what seems to be an SS man talking into the neckband of his T-shirt at the start of the race (second from right), and look at the mouth of the guy in the top right -- on first glance it looks like he has a binky!

I see we are closing in on June 29 @ noon, the day and time when we have discussed having lunch in Bellevue. Are you both still on for this? If so, I will call to see if the restaurant takes reservations and make them -- and give you the location data.

Wphile, you mentioned there is a gentleman in lurker status who might join us. Is he still thinking of being there?

I worked at a credit union for a dirty old man (DOM) who liked to press himself up against me while I was filing. I was 17 -- the guy terrified me but the job was part of my high school grades (Distributive Education Clubs of America) and I didn't know what to do because we weren't allowed to quit and also pass the course (this was waaaay before harassment laws). One night while I sat on the reception area couch waiting for my dad to pick me up after work, the DOM sat next to me and actually reached over and grabbed my calf. It was like something out of a movie. I just absolutely froze. Thank God my father drove up right after that. I was never so glad to leave a job behind. He was a class A weasel. Several years later, I ran into him at a restaurant while my husband was in the rest room. The lech made a pass at me in front of the other couple we were with.

Men in shorts. I love it.

When I checked in on the dose and saw the Prez in shorts I thought of you right away. You'll pass the bar. Just stay relaxed. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the "walking" encouragement! I've got a long way to go according to the instructions on the pedometer! The best part is going outside and getting fresh air.

I couldn't agree more!

I did catch what seems to be an SS man talking into the neckband of his T-shirt at the start of the race....

There must be some very unusual requirements to be on this president's SS detail. I wonder how fast his agents must be able to run three miles?

Thanks again for the dose, Rintense.

I'm still on for lunch but I don't know about my gentleman friend. I will check with him and get back to you.

Big disappointment on the speaker Friday night...as you may recall, goodnesswins and I were hoping for W or Rummy or Condi, etc. Well, turns out it is some deputy assistant in the White House. Yawn. Oh well.

So looking forward to meeting you!

That rule applies in Washington State as well.

We have had trouble with some of our "GOP" people who supported constitution party candidates. They were quickly taken to the woodshed and no longer hold positions within the party.

This is not Burger King...you cannot have it your way. :o)

Rarely did I work the grill...too much grease and steam...it'd play havoc with my 'do'. I did window, fries, and shakes. lol

Those were the days that you didn't depend on a register to add up the order..had to know math, ya know? Had to know how to 'count up' when returning change to a customer. Had to know that if a customer gave you $10.34 for a $7.34 order they'd get $3.00 back --- try that these days and you need to walk the clerk slowly through the transaction. grrr.

The hairnets were a drag...but I sure wish fast food joints used them *now*!

In-n-Out Burger is the cleanest fast food joint in the west.

Did you wear roller skates?

[Wphile]

Who you callin' a geyser? LOL! W looks fantastic in his shorts and t-shirt. I was restrained last night because I couldn't get over the fact that he wiped his brow with his shirtsleeve and not the hem. Me thinks he is toying with us a bit.

As for the diet, I'm reading my new book, The Fat Flush Plan and will report back on its diet. Looks like it is quite a detoxifying plan at the start with some wierd elements to it but I'm game. Hope to finish reading it by Tuesday so I can buy the wierd stuff - flaxseed oil, some herbals etc, and get started on Wednesday.

**Awww, you're just trying to make it up to us about that Hillary crack , aren't you? **

Hillary's crack is larger than others.

[homeschool mama]

**Have you considered boot camp? Maybe it's time....**

I would proudly serve the red, white, and blue. ppfffbbbbttt!

Back to the diet...I think we need to set a night for reporting weight loss results, etc. Some suggested Thursdays. Sounds good to me.
