Cheating a Bit

Because I do not have anything original to say, I am going to cheat and use my buddy Mike's blog as my own content! Periodically, I hope to reference the happenings in my friends' lives. We shall call it the "Random Profile" section on the thirdof9 blog. So below is Mike's short profile and here is his Blog. http://halfsoul.blogspot.com/ Mike doesn't know I am doing this yet, so I will get back to you with other details on Mike.

Mike and his wife Jeanine both went to KU with me and we all swam while we were there. Because I was not nearly as cool as I am now, Mike and I didn't get along nearly the way we do now. But since meeting back up in SD a few years ago we are pretty good buds. We both love Jayhawk sports - especially basketball. We also like triathlons, although we have never done the same one. And we have both done the "walk of shame" in La Jolla.

The walk of shame is what happens when you swim the mile and a half from the cove to the pier and then can't make it back, so you just swim in to the beach and either walk back, or worse, you do what Mike and I did and had one of the other guys we were swimming with, swim back to the cove, get his car and come and get us. Not my finest moment, but it was f*cking cold!!! I am talking really really cold - sub 60 degree cold. And Mike and I are not the burliest of guys. Now in Mike's defense, he had just ran about 15 miles before the swim to train for the SD Rock and Roll marathon. So he was pretty beat. Me on the other hand. I was just a colossal wimp that day in the sub-60 degree ocean water.

Anyways, Mike and Jeanine have added to their twosome by adding the Nolan. Or as I like to call him, Nolzilla. Nolan was held by Bill Self, slobbered on the Allen Fieldhouse floor (see pics on 3rd page of Roddy Blog) and has a penchant for fast women, 12 year old scotch, and mini Ugg boots.

Anyways, tune in the next few days and I am sure that I will have plenty more to talk about. If not, I will just point you to another blog. In the meantime, enjoy the Roddy Blog.
