Monty Python, always a classic.

Here’s one for ya, find out how old you really are! 

I took the test, and here are my results..

	Calendar Age 44.1	Difference +1.7	RealAge 45.8

The test takes about 20 minutes and you have to know your blood pressure, heart rate and cholestrol to get accurate age, what I didn’t do.  You have to awnser the questions truthfully and the results will suprise you!  I found out that I eat too much red meat and not enough fish, being a ex smoker helps, but it hurts as well.  Exercise is another story! 

If you want to find out a good balance for your diet and life, give the test a go.   I’ll give you an update with all of the accurate information.  Check out the web site at www.realage.com

Only a year after they changed Baseball forever with the purchase of Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees made another buy that would forever change the way the game was watched.  On February 6, 1921, the Yankees issued a press release to announce the purchase of 10 acres of property in the west Bronx. The land, purchased from the estate of William Waldorf Astor for $675,000, sat directly across the Harlem River from the Yankees’ current Manhattan home, the Polo Grounds, which they shared unhappily with the landlord Giants of the National League since 1913. 

I was lucky enough to visit the original Yankee Stadium before the upper deck was added and a complete renovation was completed and the stadium opened April 15, 1976.  I saw such greats like Thurman Munson, Felipe Alou, Bobby Murcer, Rusty Torez, Graig Nettels and Lou Pinella when he was an outfielder.  Yankee Stadium is where I learned all about baseball, being a immigrant kid from England, the only thing I knew about sports was soccer and cricket, which is similar to baseball. 

It’s sad to see it being demolished at the end of the 2008, that is one stadium that in my opinion should have been made into a museum.  The amount of history in sports besides baseball is astounding, the history making Notre Dame game, boxing matches  with Muhammad Ali just to name a few, plus a visit from the pope.

It’s nice to see the The New Yankee Staduim will take some of the history with it when it opens.  If you have never been to a game there, and you are a hard core baseball fan. I suggest you defiantly go there  before the end of era comes in a few months.

There are three things that happen every year that are stupid and painfull.

One is running with the bulls, someone always gets the horn,

Second is running down a hill in England for a wheel of cheese,

And the third when  Jessie Jackson opens his mouth.

I really didn’t realize how lucky we have it in the Upstate for gas prices until we drove down to Charleston on Saturday to disconnect and plant our happy and now broke asses on the beach.  I saw everything from $3.71 in Greer where I filled up on Saturday, to $4.05 in Isle Of Palms.  The last cheap place I saw was in Columbia at $3.72, so I figured I’d top off there so I wouldn’t have to get shafted paying the piper down there. 

I did all of the hyper gas savings that I could, you know, turning off the engine going downhill,  keeping the windows up for less drag, no extra weight in the car that we don’t need, sorry Mother In-law.  I hope she doesn’t read this.  Seriously, there is alot you can do to squeeze a little more out of a tank and still be able to take the Mother In-law.  Weight is an issue, if you’re on a long trip only take the essentials, around town keep your tank half full.  Easy on the accelerator, you don’t have to show everyone how your fake posi-track works all the time and they say don’t slam on your breaks, I have now idea how that save gas.   Tire pressure check, and usual maintenance should save you about 30% more.
