From
Joan Lauterbach Krause
('60) of VA - 09/03/08 - "A Week at the Gym":
A Week at the Gym
For my birthday this year my wife purchased me a week of private lessons at the
local health club. Though still in great shape from when I was on the varsity
chess team in high school, I decided it was a good idea to go ahead and try it.
I called and made reservations with someone named Tanya, who said she is a
26-year-old aerobics instructor and athletic clothing model. My wife seemed very
pleased with how enthusiastic I was to get started.
They suggested I keep an "exercise diary" to chart my progress.
Day 1. Started the morning at 6:00 AM. Tough to get up, but worth it when I
arrived at the health club and Tanya was waiting for me. She's something of a
goddess, with blond hair and a dazzling white smile. She showed me the machines
and took my pulse after five minutes on the treadmill. She seemed a little
alarmed that it was so high, but I think just standing next to her in that
outfit of hers added about ten points. Enjoyed watching the aerobics class.
Tanya was very encouraging as I did my sit ups, though my gut was already aching
a little from holding it in the whole time I was talking to her. This is going
to be GREAT.
Day 2. Took a whole pot of coffee to get me out the door, but I made it. Tanya
had me lie on my back and push this heavy iron bar up into the air. Then she put
weights on it, for heaven's sake! Legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill,
but I made it the full mile. Her smile made it all worth while. Muscles ALL feel
GREAT.
Day 3. The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the tooth brush on the
counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I am certain that I have
developed a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to
steer. I parked on top of a Volkswagen. Tanya was a little impatient with me and
said my screaming was bothering the other club members. The treadmill hurt my
chest so I did the stair "monster." Why would anyone invent a machine to
simulate an activity rendered obsolete by the invention of elevators? Tanya told
me regular exercise would make me live longer. I can't imagine anything worse.
Day 4. Tanya was waiting for me with her vampire teeth in a full snarl. I can't
help it if I was half an hour late, it took me that long just to tie my shoes.
She wanted me to lift dumbbells. Not a chance, Tanya. The word "dumb" must be in
there for a reason. I hid in the men's room until she sent Lars looking for me.
As punishment she made me try the rowing machine. It sank.
Day 5. I hate Tanya more than any human being has ever hated any other human
being in the history of the world. If there was any part of my body not in
extreme pain I would hit her with it. She thought it would be a good idea to
work on my triceps. Well I have news for you Tanya - I don't have triceps. And
if you don't want dents in the floor don't hand me any barbells. I refuse to
accept responsibility for the damage, YOU went to sadist school, YOU are to
blame. The treadmill flung me back into a science teacher, which hurt like
crazy. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like a music teacher, or social
studies?
Day 6. Got Tanya's message on my answering machine, wondering where I am. I
lacked the strength to use the TV remote so I watched eleven straight hours of
the weather channel.
Day 7. Well, that's the week. Thank goodness that's over. Maybe next time my
wife will give me something a little more fun, like a gift certificate for a
root canal.
Received from Thomas Ellsworth.
Thanks,
Joan!

from Eva Ellis Madagan ('61) of FL - 09/05/08 - "Most Dangerous Cake Recipe in
the WORLD":
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
This sounds so good and easy!
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
1 Coffee Mug
4 tablespoons cake flour (that's actual cake flour or plain flour, but
not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla essence, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
This can serve 2 (yeah RIGHT!!! LOL)
WOWZERONI!!!
Thanks, Ladies!
Mmmmmm, chocolate.....
From Elaine Wilkinson Bracken ('61) of VA - 09/04/08 - "Get Ready to Fly Your
Flag":
Get YOUR FLAG READY
Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and PLEASE forward this Email immediately to everyone in your address book asking them to also forward it. We have a little less than one week and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America.
If you forward this email to least 11 people and each of those people do the same ... you get the idea.
THE PROGRAM:
On Thursday, September 11th, 2008, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this seventh anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. We do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends, and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds.
Action Plan:
So, here's what we need you to do
(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don't be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.
(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.
Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America ! and God Bless our Troops!!!
Thanks for the reminder, Elaine!
