WHATCHU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS?

I grew up when Diff'rent Strokes was a popular television show. That's no big deal unless your last name is Willis. To this day I still hear those famous words popularized by Arnold: "Whatchu talkin bout Willis?" Usually they are uttered by someone looking at me as though I may have never heard it before. Yeah, right! Well this blog is what I (Willis) am talkin bout...my thoughts, observations & opinions. Enjoy...

Where Have I Been?


This past weeknd Tammy & I were over on Virginia's Eastern Shore. We also built a little vacation time around the event that took us across the Chesapeake Bay - the annual Ocean to Bay MS-150 bike ride. It was my second year and it was a good time overall. Our team, "Blazing Saddles", had several participants and raised some decent money for Multiple Sclerosis research. I'm still sore (it might help if I traind beforehand!). The 150 miles took its toll on me. The worst part, however, was lack of sleep! The accomodations are nice, but we had one snorer who was rocking the house! He sounded like a wounded hyena... or a dying kodiak bear...or like a moose being strangled to death! It was horrible! I finally went outside and attempted to sleep on the porch. I must say the stars were magnificent!

Glad it went well!! And to be honest, I definitely don't think I will be ready to do that for at least another year, maybe two!! Oh well :) I will stick with my half-marathons for awhile if this knee ever heals back up :)

Dave, you're a beast dude! I'm still the average-framed guy you remember from RBC, except for the addition I've added to God's temple! LOL
