Lately, there appear to be recurring things from which I cannot escape, either in my mind or in actuality.

Alphabetically:

A: Ass. My ass hurts from too many hours parked on the bike. Also, I appreciate a nice ass.

B: Biking. Bacchanal. My destiny if things don't improve.

C: Control. I want more of it. Cleaning. I want less of it. Crisis. Enough already. Character. It appears mine is lacking.

D: Damage. I'm not going to explain that one. Dogs. My ancient Lab won't stop pissing on the floor. Desire for--see E.

E: Escape. Ennui b/c Escape is not--see F.

F: Feasible. Fortinbras. I remain hopeful he will show up. Fate. Lately, I've been a believer. FaceBook-- Fantastic and evil.

G: Guts. These are needed for a variety of reasons, the biggest of which is waking up and charging forth on July 26, 2009.

H: Hunger. Ironman training appears to be a bitch that way. So is mid-life.

I: Ironman. Irritable. I need to work on this. Internet. I spend the half of life I'm not training on it.

J: Jordan. She's the #1 bambino. No need to escape her. Jaded. It happens.

K: Kainotophobia. That would be the fear of change for those of you too lazy to look it up.

L: Lara. The #2 bambino. Ditto per J. Library. I frequent the place for numerous reasons.
Laundry. I really, really can't escape that one.

M: Matron. Mid-life. Magic. Don't believe in it anymore. MPH. MacBeth. I know I'm getting carried away with my Shakespearean references, but well, they work.

N: Noah. The #3 bambino. Ditto per J, L.

O: Outrage. Outrageous. Ouch.

P: Pushing. As in the envelope. As in the next interval. As in...(fill in blank). Piss. As in on the toilet seats and the floor, courtesy of men/boys in the house and previously mentioned old man dog. Parenting. of course. Power. See previous post. Peanut Butter. CRUNCHY peanut butter. I go through a jar a week. Pacing. Never been my strength.

Q: Questing and trying not to have Qualms about it.

R: Running. RPM. Rationalizing.

S: Swimming. Also Sex, of course. Swearing. It's a problem for me, as you all know.

T: Triathlon. Tiredness. That would be from the letter I, and also the letter C. Tedium.

U: Universal. I know it is, but it certainly feels Unique to me.

V: Veiled. Vo2 Max.

W: Water. We all need that, right? Want. We need that too.

X: X-Rated. I admit, it's all I could think of for X. But it's a good one, right?

Y: Yes.

Z: Zatch. This one you do have to look up--unless you already know what it is, of course.

Zatch (I had to look this up) Slang term for the female genitalia. Coined in the 1950s; possibly from an alteration of snatch. See vagina for synonyms.

Hey Mary, can you check out twitter and fill me in on the cliff notes? You seem to be a much faster study than I. Thanks. :)

Man...eading the comments you weren't kidding on the X-rated.

C is for coffee that caffinated nectar of the gods that helps me hang on.

mary- the dog is probably pissing on the floor because his/her kidneys aren't working right, and he/she might have a urinary tract infection. take the fucking dog to the vet!
