Rasta Girl

While running the other night I met a woman with long dread locks that I've seen working out and at races throughout the year.  She keeps them pulled back with a bandanna.  She also seems to run to the beat of her own drummer, which is cool.  She had been kicking my ass, but on this occasion, I caught and passed her.  I figured she must have raced or run long the day before and was just doing a recovery  run.  Having lived in the Caribbean for 2 and 1/2 years, I was into the dreads.  When I passed her I wanted to say, "Hey, Natty Dread" but you never know how folks will react.

Anyway, we met when she caught up to where I was cooling down.  I told her about liking the locks and nearly calling her Natty Dread.  As she ran off in her tie-dyed Bob Marley T-shirt she said, "If you forget my name, Natty Dread will do."

You've got to like that attitude. 

Rest in Peace Nelle Harper Lee.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN”S DAY!

Female Orgasms

I tend to agree with a comedian who once advised men not to be impressed with themselves if the woman they are having sex with has multiple orgasms.  It has more to do with her make up than anything you are doing to her.

I am inclined to agree.  At least it seems that some women are more inclined to have multiple orgasms than others.

What is your experience?

You can thank Sandy

"You can thank Sandy"  A friend got a marketing E-mail for some webinar saying that due to an overwhelming demand from people affected by Hurricane Sandy the discount registration period was being extended. The E-mail opened with large, bold type "You can thank Sandy." Shortly thereafter, he received another E-mail from that company apologizing for the insensitive tone of the first E-mail. E-mail #2 also added that appropriate steps were taken to make sure this would never happen again.  I have to say that I didn't find the Sandy reference insensitive and I certainly hope that appropriate steps doesn't mean that someone lost a job. How do other people feel about this? Given that the current Noreaster is being referred to as Son of Sandy is anyone really offended?
