The past few years I’ve been trying to take advantage to various restaurant birthday clubs. A fun adventure. They’re not all created equally. Combined with stops for lunch and other snacks, I hit a bunch this month.

UGA NFL RB’s: Herschel, Terrell Davis, Garrison Hearst, Rodney Hampton, Gurley, Chubb, Michel, Holyfield. Andy Johnson (NE). Charlie Trippi. Has USC had that many? Or Alabama, who was recently named Running Back U? next up: Swift and Zeus. Maybe number 35 as well.
I might have only taken a year of PE at Tech. Might’ve taken Aerobics twice. Had to run a mile in a certain time to make an A. I did it. Whack Hyder was my Aerobics instructor, in the fall of 1977.
Took gymnastics in Winter 1978. Not sure why. Luckily the instructor was the football team’s strength coach. For some reason he liked me. We did lots of pushups, situps, and running. After the entire class did like 100 pushups at the same time, I did one extra. When he took roll we had to say how many pushups we did, he loved it when I answered “101!”
Then Drownproofing. Winter 1980. Made a B. Had to swim the length of the Olympic pool underwater to pass that test. To make an A you had to turn around and swim all the way back. I made the turn and started back. Kept swimming and made it all the way for the A. Then 30 minutes treading water with legs tied. Then with hands tied. Then both hands and legs. Then jumping in fully clothed, then use the shirt and pants as a flotation device. An interesting class. In drownproofing before each test they went over how to tread water with hands/feet tied, and we practiced first. The secret is to not thrash around but to slowly bob up and down in the water to take breaths.
Not sure how much P.E. college students have to take these days. Will took several PE classes, maybe even golf. Not sure how many Anna took.
Right now I am reading a fictional novel about women’s tennis, written by the lady who wrote “The Devil Wears Prada.” Called The Singles Game. I had searched the library for audiobooks on sports, and this one came up. It’s okay.
Thursday we were getting some boxes to take to the other warehouse. Renee struggled to move a big box so I thought it must be heavy. I looked at Lewis and said the big box looked like a 2-man job. I took one side and he took the other. We lifted it up and it was light as a feather. The whole way out to the car I was thinking Lewis was going to think I was a weakling. Later Lewis called him up to confess I had thought the box was heavier based on the way Renee moved it. He laughed and said he had thought the same thing!
