NORMAL! They say my Stress Test came out NORMAL, and this means just as you have a noise in a car engine that goes away when you take it into the mechanic, the tests will continue!

Watch the Monkey do tricks!!!

So they hooked me up to the holter monitor friday. I wore this thing, and OF COURSE just like a person who hears a noise in his car that goes away as soon as he takes it to the mechanic, I had very little palpataions occur!

Of course at bowling today, I had a pretty bad occurance. BOWLING! I said BOWLING!!!

NOT biking...NOT BLADING....

FIRGGING BOWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God help me!

Next on the Discovery Channel: I go get my stress test at 7:30 AM Monday!

RIP RAY!

So whats going on this month man? This sucks! I get a phone call from a Insurance guy I work with, and he tells me that Ray, a gentleman I have done business with twice in the past 2 years has died. This hit home for one of many reasons, many too numerous to mention. I am glad that I went to the wake, and the funeral as it was a BEAUTIFUL tribute to a life cut short WAY too early. I hpe that when my time comes, I make HALF the impact that this man had on his friends and fam.

I was sad and morose over this all week.

Hey Heather and family! I am thinking about you!

Get ready for some pretty high cuteness factor!

Tribute to a Serious Inline Skating Enthusiast: Carl Comperoni Dies after colliding with another inline skater at the minneapolis metrodome. He was 53.

I didn't know him well, but remember him buzzing by me (much faster than me much to my chagrin...Carl was 13 years my senior) having a great time. I was even there the day it happened. I had (ironically) left my helmet at home, and chose to skate without it. I was chastised by Nick, one of the staff members. He informed me that someone had just been taken away in an ambulance due to a fall. I had no idea who it was, but I chose to finish off the evening w/o a helmet anyway.

It will be the last time.

It wasn't til much later I found out the seperation between me and Carl was less than I could ever expect. Carl was a "Rollerdome Buddy" of a good friend of mine (Jacque).
But what I DIDN'T know til much later was that a REALLY AMAZING Lady that I have been working with in the mortgage business her husband is a cousin of Carls. They were hit VERY hard by this, and all this has affected me as well.

I decided that this man, although I hardly knew him FIRST PERSON was a worthy recipient of a Log Entry here at my Blog which was initially set up as a Bicycling Blog. I hope that the following links will give those of you who are interested a little view into a life that was cut way too short by something that I would have considered trivial. Forgetting a helmet.

Thanks Carl. I will ALWAYS wear a helmet while Biking or blading.

My friend Liz also said that Carl was an Organ Donor, and that was probably responsible for saving many lives.

Well maybe he saved a few more.

Helmets save lives. This Author will never be seen without one again.

I would like to thank Liz, Jacque, and other people that contributed to this log.

Monkeyboys lab results:

Cholesterol:350
Triglcerides:600

Diagnosis: Things have got to change or you gonna DIE man!

Still to come: More stupid human tricks!

Vampires sucked me...But it wasn't the good kind...




Yup I went in and got my labs done. I WHOLLY endorse the acquisition of health insurance. I was in and out in 5 minutes.

Next: More Stupid Human Tricks!!!

So I am FINALLY getting my heart checked out!

Yup kids I FINALLY went to the doc to get checked out. I was getting bad heart palitations on the bike trail last summer, and they got worse over the winter since I gained back all the blubber. I did the EKG today, and it looked ok but TOMMOROW I get the vampires sucking out my blood THEN:

STUPID HUMAN TRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Heart Stress Test-See the monkey run on a treadmill. Run Monkeyboy RUN!!!

2) Holter Monitor-Monkey straps on wires and pushes a button when he gets out of breath...then it shortcircuits and SHOCKS THE MONKEY! (thats my tribute to Peter Gabriel!)

3) Monkey sees a dietician-A really thin sexy girl points at the fat ol monkey and tells him to stop eating his own poo (Thats junk food I mean...But poo was a funnier analogy)

4) Sleep Apnea Test-Zookeepers watch monkey snore and drool all over himself. (I hope monkeyboy doesn't have any sex dreams and says stuff like "Ohh BABY, you KNOW what I like" in his sleep. I bet if he does the zookeepers will be SURE to sell it on the internet for a nominal price)

God help me, this will truly suck!
