Katie Bradshaw:  Careful Reader / MooseCake Eater

“I believe Señor Tim left out an important detail: the Moose Lodge is serving up BEER batter pancakes. Strangely, they are also serving up Mike with their orange juice. Does Señor Mullins know he's been co-opted?  See Mid-Iowa community calendar:”  Katie Bradshaw

"All the Beer batter pancakes, sausage and bacon you can eat with coffee, mike and orange juice."

The Vardo:  A Fountain of Timely Advice and Information

During the Rosy Cheeks 5K, I was trying to “zone out” of Bill’s (not the Other Bill’s) constant blathering.  I think we all get a little tired of his little “mini sermons” on white supremacy / the Master Race / etc.   And his various theories (some of them quite credible) as to why he believes Jan is the Antichrist.  I shut a good share of this out during the run, and tried instead to focus on all of the fine advice The Vardo has given to us over the past five or so years. I thought I’d pass on some of my personal favorites:

Running During Extremely Hot Weather:

“Take water at least every three miles – be sure to hydrate all day for an afternoon run.  Gatorade is your friend.”

Running During Extremely Cold Weather:

“Don’t.”

Treatment of Injury:

“Remember RICE:  Rest – Ice – Compression – Elevation”

Grain Marketing:

“Go with a very aggressive selling position in either hedge to arrive or a long put position. Protect the upside with long calls.”

Barry Manilow’s Greatest Hits:

“Don’t.”

Life (In General):

“Live fast, die young, and leave a good lookin’ corpse.”

Abstracts of Title:

"Always consider circumstances where a stray deed can become the "root of title" to a competing chain of record."

Sandals With Black Dress Socks:

“Don’t.”

Feel free to send your favorites to me at klotzbach@msn.com and I’ll have Kori print up some lovely trinket for distribution / easy reference.  Maybe a laminated hang tag with lanyard / coffee mug / hand-powered flashlight, etc.  Something practical.  A stocking stuffer, if you are still looking for this type of thing.
