Hi folks.

Well, it’s been a week since we last talked… and since I began my classes to get a real estate license.

So far, so good. I’m having a great time and find myself enjoying the classes quite a bit. Most people seem to be quite surprised when I tell them that I’m “having fun” with the courses… I get an odd look and a “what about all the math”? Well, the math doesn’t bother me. That is as long as I get some snacks…

You see… as a cyclist, I find myself eating more than the average Joe. Actually much more. And like most other cyclists… I get cranky when I get hungry… Yeah, it’s true, I know that’s hard to believe. Austin? Cranky? Yeah, I can admit it. Or you can ask Suzanne, she’ll let you know.

So, for these 4 hour classes I have to bring a pocket full of granola bars just to keep me from getting too hungry because when I get hungry I get cranky and then I more or less just shut down. The odd thing is… some people in this class eat a ton more food than I do. The first class I watched a guy eat a full foot long Subway sandwich. Some other guy walked in with a plastic grocery bag. He sat down next to me and throughout the class kept pulling food out of it…

Like Doritos…

and lightly salted almonds…

and some Skittles…

and beef jerky…

and a Coca Cola…

and a turkey sandwich…

It was insane. Kind of like a magic trick where the magician has a small suitcase and starts pulling objects out of it and they keep getting bigger and bigger…

deck of cards…

16 lb. bowling ball…

folding lawn chair…

red umbrella…

and finally… an electric golf cart.

So, I guess it’s good to know that there are other people out there that need a constant supply of food and drink to properly function in the manner that human beings were designed to. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.

On the flip side… what’s the deal with people who are instructed to turn off their cell phones, but don’t? You know, like in a public place, library, classroom, etc. Now, I do understand when somebody brain farts and forgets to turn their ringer off. Actually, one time my brain farted really really hard… Like so hard I almost lost the rest of my hair. But anyways, the problem I have is when you’re instructed to turn off your cell phone and then someone’s goes off… at that moment the instructor politely says, “please don’t forget to turn off all cell phones”…

So the real kicker comes when about 20 minutes later…

RING-RING-RING!

Oh well, what are you going to do? You just can’t win ‘em all…

I’m going to go eat now.

Take care.
